4 Identify Course & Module Learning Goals Identify learning objectives for individual lessons Determine how to assess and measure student success on goals and objectives Design teaching resources and materials to match assessments Plan Instructional Strategies to implement teaching resources The Approach

5 InTeGrate Overarching Goals for Materials Development Grand Challenges Interdisciplinary problems Nature and methods of science Authentic data and inquiry System thinking

6 Grand Challenges: What are they?  I am the time keeper  Each person has 2 minutes to make a list  When time is up, each person has 15 seconds to describe one challenge  Go to next person who describes a different challenge  Pass if you don’t have a new challenge  Continue until everyone has a chance to contribute Pick one you want to work on as a group

7 Identify Course & Module Learning Goals Identify learning objectives for individual lessons Determine how to assess and measure student success on goals and objectives Design teaching resources and materials to match assessments Plan Instructional Strategies to implement teaching resources The Approach

8 Learning Goals Learning goals identify significant and essential learning that students can demonstrate by the end of the module or course. Student centered Achieved results Evidence learning took place

9 Writing Learning Goals An action verb identifying performance A learning statement specifying the learning A standard for acceptable performance Students will be able to solve interdisciplinary problems. Students will be able to describe how economic, social and political issues bear on scientific problems. At the end of the course, students will be able to convincingly make the case that economic, social and political issues are relevant when addressing problems related to climate change. For Example

10 Write a learning goal … An action verb identifying performance A learning statement specifying the learning A standard for acceptable performance … for the Grand Challenge you selected earlier

11 Identify Course & Module Learning Goals Identify learning objectives for individual lessons Determine how to assess and measure student success on goals and objectives Design teaching resources and materials to match assessments Plan Instructional Strategies to implement teaching resources The Approach

12 Learning Objectives Learning Objectives support learning goals Learning objectives are intended results of instruction Content Performance Attitudes

13 The Geoscience Literacy Documents

14 Learning Objectives Goal: At the end of the course, students be able to convincingly make the case that economic, social and political issues are relevant when addressing problems related to climate change. Learning Objectives: At the end of this unit, students will be able to correctly: Describe five economic impacts of climate change Describe three social impacts of climate change Compare and contrast two major political positions related to climate change In a few minutes: Develop one learning objective that could support your learning goal

15 Identify Course & Module Learning Goals Identify learning objectives for individual lessons Determine how to assess and measure student success on goals and objectives Design teaching resources and materials to match assessments Plan Instructional Strategies to implement teaching resources The Approach

16  Measure the learning outcomes  Criterion referenced  Consistent with course activities and resources  Sequenced, varied and appropriate  Address various cognitive levels Which part of the world is represented on this map? Does the ocean surface display El Niño, ENSO normal, or La Niña conditions and how do you know? Where will precipitation fall if these anomalous temperatures remain in place? Assessment and Measurement

17 Learning Objective: Compare and contrast two major political positions related to climate change Assessment: You just accepted a position as a Congressional intern for the Speaker of the House, John Boehner (R), Ohio. As Speaker, he is responsible for maintaining Republican Party unity. He is preparing for hearings on proposed EPA regulations related to CO 2 emissions. Write a one page summary comparing and contrasting the two main political views related to climate change that he will have to contend with during these hearings. In a few minutes: Develop one assessment that could support your learning objective

18 Identify Course & Module Learning Goals Identify learning objectives for individual lessons Determine how to assess and measure student success on goals and objectives Design teaching resources and materials to match assessments Plan Instructional Strategies to implement teaching resources The Approach

19 Teaching Resources

20 Identify Course & Module Learning Goals Identify learning objectives for individual lessons Determine how to assess and measure student success on goals and objectives Design teaching resources and materials to match assessments Plan Instructional Strategies to implement teaching resources The Approach

21 Instructional Strategies  Support learning objectives  Promote student engagement  Develop student metacognition  Opportunities to practice communicating geoscience  Scaffold learning

22 Instructional Strategies The activities should provide opportunities for students to iterate and improve their understanding incrementally. Activities should include an appropriate balance of guidance versus exploration and opportunities for reflection, discussion, and synthesis. Students should be able to assess their own learning and confirm they are on the right track. In a few minutes: Discuss an activity that would support your learning objective

23 Identify Course & Module Learning Goals Identify learning objectives for individual lessons Determine how to assess and measure student success on goals and objectives Design teaching resources and materials to match assessments Plan Instructional Strategies to implement teaching resources The Approach: Phase 2

24 InTeGrate Curriculum Development Rubric Six Categories (28 items)  Overarching Goals (5)  Learning Objectives and Outcomes (5)  Assessment and Measurement (5)  Resources and Materials (6)  Instructional Strategies (5)  Alignment (2) Each item scored on a 0-3 point scale with minimum passing score for each category. Total passing score greater than or equal to 74 points.
