A Model of Content-Rich Curriculum LT 2a. I can describe the impact of content-rich curriculum on students’ college and career success.
Grade-Level Groups • Your grade-level EL team: Cheryl Dobbertin & Gwyneth Hagan • Examining the modules: through the lens of a teacher • Analyze the curricular structures(module, unit, and lesson level) • Analyze the instructional practices, pedagogical moves, etc. • Experiencing the modules: through the lens of a learner • Consider one’s own experience as a “Common Core era” learner • Based on one’s own experience, reflect on the implications for students
Grade Level Groups: Introductions • Name • Position/role • Your district, region, or school • Your particular interest in or connection to this grade level
Quote Strips Directions: Locate the quotes in the envelopes on your table. • Each person at your table chooses one quote from the envelope. • Read each quote aloud to the group. • As a group, select one quote as a lens through which to view your work in this session while you are a learner “experiencing” the module. Consider where you see the ideas in this quote come to life in the curriculum. • After your experience some learning from the module, we will return to this quote to discuss what you noticed.
