This document discusses social literacy and how to integrate it in the classroom. It defines social literacy as the ability to connect effectively with others in one's environment. There are three components of social skills: social perception, social cognition, and social performance. The document also discusses literacy as a social practice and how texts are traces of social practices. It provides examples of different types of texts. Finally, it suggests ways to integrate social literacy in the classroom such as teaching social skills explicitly, using cooperative learning, and peer review.
This lesson plan provides guidance for teaching students how to write effective college essays and resumes. The essay portion introduces sample college essays and advice for what makes a great essay. Students evaluate essays in small groups and discuss what is effective. They then create timelines of significant life events to help choose essay topics. For resumes, students explore sample formats and brainstorm achievements to include. Activities help students translate experiences into skills and create a draft resume. The plan aims to reveal students' personalities and prepare application materials for college.
This document outlines the topics and activities covered in a chapter on managing learning in higher education. The chapter addresses developing an inclusive curriculum that meets the diverse needs of students. It discusses student diversity, developing emotional intelligence in teaching, and using tools like a student study skills audit to support all students' language and learning needs. Learners are asked to reflect on their teaching practices and how to apply strategies from the chapter, like encouraging participation and peer learning, to develop an inclusive approach.
The document discusses the inquiry-based learning model and critical literacy. It explores how inquiry-based teaching uses deep questioning to engage students with big ideas and lessons. Critical literacy focuses on examining perspectives, assumptions and voices in texts. It encourages students to question texts and consider how power and point of view shape meaning. The document argues that critical literacy benefits students by developing critical thinking, voice, and a sense of agency to enact social change.
This document provides an introduction and overview for a course on making sense of educational research. It outlines the course modules, schedule, assessments, and resources for developing information literacy skills. Students are asked to introduce themselves, discuss their needs and goals for information literacy, and begin exploring resources and databases for educational research.
A pilot study was conducted to evaluate the use of social bookmarking with students in an online MA program. 16 students participated in bookmarking readings using Diigo and tagging them. Students had varying levels of experience with social bookmarking. Analysis found students shared bookmarks, commented on readings, and reflected personally. While some found it supported their writing, others felt it did not. Recommendations included seeding discussions earlier in modules and using social tagging to better facilitate discussions. The study provides preliminary evidence social bookmarking may help develop students' perspectives on literature before writing essays.
This document provides an overview of the course Foundations of Education. It discusses the six foundations covered in the course: psychological, sociological, anthropological, historical, philosophical, and legal. For the psychological foundations module, it outlines key concepts around growth and development, including defining growth and development, the importance of understanding developmental stages, factors that influence development, and basic principles of development. Development follows a predictable sequence, rates vary between individuals, early development is critical, and development results from maturation and learning interacting with the environment.

Using and creating open education resources.sycamorehsLynn Ritchey
油
This document provides information on open education resources (OERs), including what they are, their benefits, disadvantages, and how to use and create them. It defines OERs as teaching and learning materials that are free to use, reuse, modify, and share. The benefits of OERs are listed as no costly textbooks for learners, flexibility, expanded access, and increased understanding of course material. Some disadvantages include uneven quality and lack of updating. The document provides guidance on finding and using existing OERs, as well as designing OER learning modules with objectives, explanations, activities, and assessments. It emphasizes using Creative Commons licensing when creating or modifying works.
This document outlines the key concepts and practices of critical literacy in K-8 classrooms. It discusses how critical literacy encourages students to question power relationships and analyze popular culture from multiple perspectives. The document presents an instructional model for critical literacy consisting of using students' personal experiences and interests, engaging in critical social practices like disrupting assumptions and considering diverse views, adopting a critical stance of inquiry and reflection, and creating curriculum with a critical edge. Teachers are encouraged to adopt this framework to promote social justice through literacy.
This document provides an overview for a course on collaborative teacher inquiry. It discusses moving from an emphasis on curriculum requirements to applying principles in various contexts. It introduces the collaborative teacher inquiry process where teachers examine their own practice using research techniques. Students will form groups to conduct an inquiry on an area of literacy teaching, producing a monograph on their findings and an independent lesson plan with a digital resource. The document outlines assignments including a social justice picture book lesson, collaborative inquiry topics from previous years, and a schedule for the picture book presentations.
The document outlines an educational activity where students will learn about different philosophies of education. The class will be divided into five groups, with each group researching one of five philosophies. The groups will research the definition of the philosophy, its aims and goals for education, and focus on curriculum. Students can use the internet to research their topic and upload their work online for feedback. Evaluation will include question and answer sessions and critiques of the topics.
This document discusses course design and outlines several key steps and considerations in effective course design. It addresses roles of teachers, establishing goals and objectives, choosing textbooks and syllabus models, considering student and contextual factors, using tasks and projects, the importance of evaluation, and allowing student negotiation. The document provides guidance on specifying language objectives and evaluating course aspects like content, methodology, and learning strategies. It compares syllabus models from different time periods and outlines steps like considering students, context, and objectives in the design process.
This document outlines the key points from Chapter 2 of a book on developing professional practice in higher education. The chapter focuses on managing learning and covers topics like teaching with emotional intelligence, student diversity, developing an inclusive curriculum, and deep and surface learning. It provides objectives for each section and recommends related activities, videos, and readings for further reflection.
The document discusses a study that explored using blogs as learning logs for students in a seminar. It investigated whether blogs were accepted as reflective tools, how useful they were, and whether performance increased from using prompted vs. naive learning logs. Key findings were that blogs took too much time and effort, students did not continue blogging after the seminar, and there was insufficient data to determine the impact of prompted vs. naive learning logs. The conclusion was that blogs show potential as learning logs but need improved usability and prompts to stimulate reflection.
SoTL from the Start
Nancy Krusen, Anita Zijdemans Boudreau, Laura Dimmler
Traditionally, Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) tends to focus on retrospective outcomes within one assignment, module or course. Self-study curricular design offers unique opportunities to navigate unknowns through formative, systematic SoTL work. The purpose of the session is to propose scholarly teaching and learning intentionally integrated into program development. The session explores an intricate process incorporating SoTL during creation of an interprofessional PhD in Education and Leadership. The process includes comprehensive mapping of curriculum, deliberate collaborative inquiry across an interprofessional community of novice and expert scholars, and projected chronicling of impact. Participants will review a prospective SoTL process, followed by collaborative design of projects. Literature: There are elements of backwards design and curricular self-study contributing to SoTL from the start, however, literature discussing SoTL in design processes is limited. Nelson described five general groups of SoTL, none of which specifically address prospective development (2004).More
recently, Nelson described an idealized seven-step model to design, present, and analyze SoTL projects (2014). The model hints at front-end design but only in reference to individual courses rather than entire curricula. Wilson, Doenges and Gurung (2013) proposed a continuum of SoTL and a series of benchmarks to serve as a basis for rigorous study. They suggested SoTL should be held to a higher standard of deliberate, well-planned, programmatic, and designed research that should extend, if possible, beyond a semester and a single class (p. 68). Salmon articulated overlapping scholarship of integration with scholarship of teaching and learning (2004). Salmons work described implementation of educational practice beyond crossing disciplinary boundaries to embed Boyers framework for informed curricular development. Presenters propose participants expand their scholarly teaching and learning as intentionally integrated into program development. Objectives: The session will enable participants to facilitate analysis of curricular change by outlining SoTL topics suited to participant-proposed investigation; compare confirmatory and exploratory research across genres to guide SoTL process; design collaborative SoTL proposals, specific to participants interests; identify resources for implementation of SoTL from the start projects.

This document provides an overview of lessons on collective identity from a media studies course. It discusses four key areas of understanding representation of groups in contemporary media: how groups are represented, how representation has changed over time, social implications, and the mediation of human identity. The representation of teenagers is used as a case study. The document outlines topics that will be covered in the lessons, including theories of representation, analysis of films and television shows, and how to structure exam answers. It provides guidance on the final exam, including the format, marking criteria, and expectations of examiners.
The document summarizes a study on social presence in blended social work education. It examines how social presence, a sense of community, and communities of practice relate to students' field experiences. Preliminary data shows that students in blended field experiences had more and longer comments, showing more affect. Qualitative results found that students felt field experiences and discussing experiences with others were most beneficial for learning. Students indicated aspects like field experience and interacting with others facilitated social presence most effectively.
This document discusses approaches to developing student writing in higher education. It explores theories of academic literacies and writing in the disciplines. The document presents models of student writing and considers writing as a social practice. It provides examples of how writing can be made visible through curriculum design using case studies from Queen Mary, University of London and University College London. The document emphasizes embedding writing instruction within disciplines and developing student writing and voice.
