TLC: Backward Design Lesson Planning Workshop

Facilitated by Jayme Dyer, Instructor, Biology and the Science Education Journal Club

Backward Design is an organizational strategy to design classroom activities that support student learning toward instructor-driven learning goals. After a brief introduction to the principles of Backward Design, participants will work on designing or redesigning a lesson plan and then there will be time to discuss the process at the end. Participants should bring 1) a lesson plan or topic to be planned for a lecture or unit for their course, and 2) a laptop (or plan to use one of the Durham Tech laptops we will have on hand). Instructors of all disciplines welcome!
