| Lesson Planning |
I have not yet planned a lesson. |
I can follow an overall lesson design in each class, which I may or may not have designed myself. |
I can design an effective lesson plan to teach a given class and have evidence of transfer of learning (e.g., students can apply course concepts to new situations, students can apply course concepts to deep problem-solving activities, students perform well on assessments, etc.). |
I can design an effective lesson plan, specifically chosen from a series of different lesson plans to match the modality (e.g., online, face-to-face, or hybrid) and/or topic (e.g., hands-on, theory, or both) of the class and integrate varied elements ( e.g., group vs. individual activities, physical vs. thinking activities, analyzing images vs. analyzing text activities, listening vs. discussing etc.) into each of the parts to ensure maximum transfer of learning. |
| Instructional Activities |
I have not designed or used instructional activities yet. |
I can design and use a few standard instructional activities (e.g., opening activities, lectures and practice activities, etc.) that succeed in teaching the content from my course. |
I can design and use a variety of instructional activities; and many of them are selected to match both the content and/or students. |
I can design and use a variety of engaging instructional activities that are selected to match both the content and students that contributes to overall maximum transfer of learning and are varied in design to account for learner variability . |
| Designing for Different Modes of Delivery |
I have not designed learning experiences for any modality yet. |
I can design learning experiences for 1 modality well (either online, multi-modal, hybrid, or face-to-face). |
I can design learning experiences for 2 modalities well (either online, multi-modal, hybrid, or face-to-face). |
I can design effective learning experiences in a variety of modalities (online, multi-modal, face-to-face, hybrid, etc.) with ease and can easily convert courses to different modalities when required. |
