The purpose of this assignment is to synthesize and design a curricular unit. Think about something (it can be about any subject) you are familiar with and design a curricular unit that includes the following slides in a slide deck: Slide 1: Title Slide 2: Overview of the Curricular Unit Answer these questions: How is it useful? How is it unique? How is it urgent? (How does it address a current need?) How is it ultra-specific, yet a part of a bigger curricular infrastructure? Slide 3: Purpose of the Curricular Unit Who is the unit intended for (grade, age, etc)? Where does it fit into the established curricula? What state/federal education standards does this unit align to? Slide 4: Curricular Unit Learning Objectives Start with an action verb. Use the framework “Students will be able to…” (SWBAT) You should have at least 2. Slides 5-7: Strategies of Instruction (may take more than one slide) What are the ways you are going to present the information? What resources are you going to use? What are the activities the students will participate in? Individual versus collaborative Synchronous versus asynchronous Slides 8-9: How You Will Evaluate the Implementation and Instruction What are the student deliverables? What are the rubrics? Give examples of both the deliverables and rubrics. Slides 10-11: How You Will Evaluate the Effectiveness of the Curricular Unit How will you evaluate student success? How will you evaluate the success of the unit overall? Slides 12-13: Curricular Mapping Tables (create a table for each of the following) Show how the artifacts map to the unit objectives. Show how the deliverables map to the unit objectives. Slide 14: Reflection Talk about how the curricular design process has changed the way you understand the profession of teaching. Slide 15: References Provide APA references for all of the artifacts that will be used in the unit. Provide APA references for all in-text citations/quotations. Submission Instructions: Create a presentation with a minimum of 15 slides. The presentation is to be clear and concise and students will lose points for improper grammar, punctuation, and misspelling. The slides should be formatted per current APA, excluding the title and reference slides. Research and incorporate a minimum of 3 current academic resources within your work. Lecture materials may be used, but do not count toward the five sources that you are to research.
