The backward design model comprises three stages:
I. Identify desired results
II. Determine acceptable evidence
III. Plan learning experiences and instruction. Once desired results and evidence are determined, a lesson plan can be developed to help students reach the objectives. Wiggins and McTighe's "WHERE" approach is used in planning instruction and experiences.
The document describes the 7E model for science lesson planning - Elicit, Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate, and Extend.

The document emphasizes that differentiated instruction is not just another way to group students, but rather a way to respect all learners by providing multiple options for content delivery, making sense of information, and demonstrating knowledge. Examples of differentiated strategies are also provided.
In the past, Since learning of basic knowledge was very important. The behaviourist approach was generally use as traditional instruction. In this instructional approach, knowledge is merely abstracted and the learning and teaching process is viewed as individual process, and learning is conceived as the accumulation of stimulus-response association. Drill and practice play an important role in this process. Also, the assessment practice is mainly based on testing, basic knowledge. Because, the proof of learning
generally is seen as changing the behaviors and increasing the right answer in test,
The document discusses problem-based learning (PBL) and how it could be implemented at Medanta. PBL is a student-centered pedagogy where students learn through solving open-ended problems. It begins with students being presented a problem to solve. To address the problem, students identify what they need to learn. They then research the issue and reconvene to apply their new knowledge to the problem. The role of instructors is to facilitate student learning rather than simply deliver information. PBL aims to develop lifelong learning and problem-solving skills.

Gagn辿's nine events of instruction provide a systematic framework for designing effective instruction. The nine events include gaining attention, informing learners of objectives, stimulating recall of prior learning, presenting the content, providing learning guidance, eliciting performance, providing feedback, assessing performance, and enhancing retention and transfer. While the framework is simple to follow, some argue it could lead to overdependence on guidance. The nine events also require significant development time and may restrict creativity and learner involvement. Overall, the framework provides a basic recipe for instruction but requires adaptation based on content, learners, and goals.
The document discusses strategies for effectively managing problem/project-based learning to enhance student learning. It emphasizes the importance of social learning, prior knowledge, and cognitive accelerators like cognitive conflict, metacognition, and social construction.

Lesson Plan
Basics and Principles
Lesson Planning is a large part of being organized and a key feature of a competent
teacher. It is a special skill that is learnt in much the same way as other skills. Careful
lesson planning can help to ensure the successful running of courses. Incorporating best
practices in teaching and learning into the design process will help students to meet their
learning objectives.

The document discusses technology in the learning environment at New Era University. It describes various facilities on campus like the library, laboratories, and administrative offices. It notes that the learning resources are properly arranged and guidelines are easy to access. The library is always open for students. While computers are used, some old units still remain. The document discusses various instructional tools and strategies for teaching like surveys, handouts, slide presentations, and websites. It emphasizes the importance of creativity, conciseness, and focusing materials.
This document discusses the backward design model for developing standards-based curriculum. It begins by outlining problems with traditional curriculum design such as students not developing a deep understanding. The backward design process involves 3 stages: 1) Identifying desired results and priorities, 2) Determining acceptable evidence of student understanding, and 3) Planning learning experiences to achieve goals. Key aspects include focusing on enduring understandings, using authentic assessments, and incorporating research-based teaching strategies to promote student understanding. The overall approach emphasizes starting with the end goals in mind and designing curriculum backwards from there.
1. The backward design model comprises
of the following three stages:
I. Identify desired results
II. Determine acceptable
evidence
III. Plan learning experiences
and instruction
2. When to develop your lesson plan?
Once you have selected the standard
and
determined the acceptable evidence
that will demonstrate student achievement,
then you can develop a lesson plan
that will provide students with the opportunity
to reach the desired objectives.
Wiggins and McTighe (1999) utilize the
"WHERE" approach in this stage of the
process.
3. W H E R E approach
Wiggins and McTighe (1999) utilize the "WHERE"
approach in this stage of the process.
W stands for students knowing
Where they are heading, Why they are heading there, What they
know, Where they might go wrong in the process, and What is
required of them.
H stands for
Hooking the students on the topic of study.
E stands for students
Exploring and Experiencing ideas and being Equipped with the
necessary understanding to master the standard being taught.
R stands for providing opportunities for students to
Rehearse, Revise, and Refine their work.
E stands for student
Evaluation.
5. the implementation
The rewarding part of the process
comes next with the implementation
of the lesson plan in the classroom.
Any necessary changes or additions
can be incorporated into your lesson
plan.
After students have had the
opportunity to learn the selected
Standard, the students will need to
be assessed to determine if they
have successfully reached the desired
goal. The student assessment can
also be used to modify the original
lesson plan.
7. The unit or course design
Reflects a coherent design -- big ideas and essential
questions clearly guide the design of, and are aligned
with, assessments and teaching and learning activities.
Makes clear distinctions between big ideas and
essential questions, and the knowledge and skills
necessary for learning the ideas and answering the
questions.
Uses multiple forms of assessment to let students
demonstrate their understanding in various ways.
Incorporates instruction and assessment that reflects
the six facets of understanding -- the design provides
opportunities for students to explain, interpret, apply,
shift perspective, empathize, and self-assess.
8. The unit or course design
Anchors assessment of understanding with
authentic performance tasks calling for students
to demonstrate their understanding and apply
knowledge and skills.
Uses clear criteria and performance standards
for teacher, peer, and self evaluations of student
products and performances.
Enables students to revisit and rethink
important ideas to deepen their understanding.
Incorporates a variety of resources. The
textbook is only one resource among many
(rather than serving as the syllabus).
9. The teacher
Informs students of the big ideas and essential
questions, performance requirements, and evaluative
criteria at the beginning of the unit or course.
Hooks and holds students' interest while they
examine and explore big ideas and essential questions.
Uses a variety of strategies to promote deeper
understanding of subject matter. Facilitates students'
active construction of meaning (rather than simply
telling).
Promotes opportunities for students to "unpack
their thinking" -- to explain, interpret, apply, shift
perspective, empathize, or self-assess (incorporates
the six facets of understanding).
10. The teacher
Uses questioning, probing, and feedback to
stimulate student reflection and rethinking.
Teaches basic knowledge and skills in the
context of big ideas and explores essential
questions.
Uses information from ongoing assessments
as feedback to adjust instruction.
Uses information from ongoing assessments
to check for student understanding and
misconceptions along the way.
Uses a variety of resources (beyond the
textbook) to promote understanding.
11. The learners
Can describe the goals (big ideas and
essential questions) and performance
requirements of the unit or course.
Can explain what they are doing and
why (i.e., how today's work relates to
the larger unit or course goals).
Are hooked at the beginning and
remain engaged throughout the unit or
course.
Can describe the criteria by which
their work will be evaluated.
12. The learners
Are engaged in activities that help them to learn the big ideas
and answer the essential questions.
Are engaged in activities that promote explanation,
interpretation, application, perspective taking, empathy, and
self-assessment (the six facets).
Demonstrate that they are learning the background
knowledge and skills that support the big ideas and essential
questions.
Have opportunities to generate relevant questions.
Are able to explain and justify their work and their answers.
Are involved in self- or peer-assessment based on established
criteria and performance standards.
Use the criteria or rubrics to guide and revise their work.
Set relevant goals based on feedback.
13. In the classroom environment
The big ideas and essential questions are central to the
work of the students, the classroom activity, and the norms
and culture of the classroom.
There are high expectations and incentives for all students
to come to understand the big ideas and answer the
essential questions.
All students and their ideas are treated with dignity and
respect.
Big ideas, essential questions, and criteria or scoring
rubrics are posted.
Samples or models of student work are made visible.
Exploration of big ideas and essential questions is
differentiated, so some students are able to delve more
deeply into the subject matter than others.
14. engaging design /effective design?
Clearly, we want our designs to be engaging
but engaging work is insufficient.
The work must also be effective, must
promote maximum achievement.
Must demonstrate that students have
achieved the targeted understandings.
An engaging design stimulates students to actively participate
whereas an effective design includes appropriate evidence that
desired results have been achieved.
15. What needs to be uncovered is vital.
Big ideas are often subtle, abstract,
and not obvious.
Teaching that is grounded in textbook
coverage only can leave students with
a superficial grasp of key ideas
An erroneous view of how knowledge
becomes knowledge.
16. Students often leave school
with misunderstandings about what we
thought they had learned.
Just because we teach for an understanding does
not mean that students will leave without or avoid
misunderstanding.
The challenge is to better anticipate
misunderstandings and address them at the design
stage.
Student misunderstanding will likely increase the
more the ideas in question are abstract, require
prior knowledge, are counterintuitive, and are
presented in summary fashion.
17. The purpose of ongoing assessment
is to identify
misconceptions and
misunderstanding
before it is too late,
before the unit
concludes and
teachers engage in
summative assessment
18. These guidelines move teachers from thinking only about
what they want to do and need to accomplish to thinking
about what students, end users of their design, will need to
achieve understanding.
The backward design approach suspends instructional
planning, the development of specific lessons and selection of
teaching strategies, until the last phase of the process.
Instructional methods are selected based on the specific types
of learning needed to achieve the desired results in a unit. As
curriculum designers, we organize a sequence backward from
specific tasks and expectations.
Lessons are derived from the desired results, based
on building up performance skills and knowledge.
We head right up to the desired performance, even
if it has to be simplified or scaffolded. We build up
performance progressively; and we revisit the
fundamentals as needed. The process is iterative
[repetitive, recurring, recycling at higher levels]
rather than linear.
20. GRASPS: Model Early Childhood Example
G: Goal: Your goal is to create a larger than life
model of a butterfly and write/illustrate a book
with a fiction and nonfiction section about your
butterfly.
R: Role: You are the teacher. Your job is to teach
the preschoolers about butterflies.
A: Audience: You will invite the preschool class to
come to your classroom to learn about butterflies.
S: Situation: Your challenge is to teach
preschoolers about butterflies by performing your
book.
P: Product: You will act out your book with your
butterfly model.
S: Standards for Success: Your book and
performance will be judged by you, your teacher,
and two of your peers using the student rubric.
21. To what extent does the idea, topic, or
Filter 1 process represent a "big idea" having
enduring value beyond the classroom?
To what extent does the idea, topic, or
Filter 2 process reside at the heart of the
discipline?
To what extent does the idea, topic, or
Filter 3 process require uncoverage?
To what extent does the idea, topic, or
Filter 4 process offer potential for engaging
students?
22. Current research on intelligence
and the brain suggests that we
learn best when we are engaged
in meaningful classroom learning
experiences that help us discover
and develop our strengths and
talents.
(Silver, Strong and Perini, 1997)
23. these learning experiences that
teachers not only motivate our
quest to learn, but also foster the
development of persistence and
effort that is necessary for
acquiring skills, knowledge, and
attitudes in sufficient depth for us
to be able to apply them in other
settings.
24. The prior knowledge that we bring
with us to a new learning situation
exerts a tremendous influence on
how we interpret this new
experience. In order to successfully
learn new information, we must be
able to construct meaning actively
and relate it to our own lives in a
meaningful way.
25. the teacher focuses on the
learners understanding of
content and the ability to
use the information rather
than on the memorization
of isolated bits of
information.
26. The new information that the
student is engaged in learning
focuses on "real life" or "authentic"
tasks that require problem solving,
creative thinking, and critical
thinking. This approach requires
teachers to structure what is
addressed instructionally and in
the curriculum around key ideas
rather than try to "cover content".
27. As educators it is of the utmost importance
that we recognize and nurture all of the
varied human intelligences and all of the
combinations of intelligences in our
students. Through this recognition, we can
increase our students learning and
problem solving abilities if we increase
their repertoires of problem solving tools
by actively encouraging them to use all
facets of intelligence
(Parry and Gregory, 1998).
28. Clearly, we want our designs to be engaging
but engaging work is insufficient. The work
must also be effective, must promote
maximum achievement, and must
demonstrate that students have achieved the
targeted understandings. An engaging design
stimulates students to actively participate
whereas an effective design includes
appropriate evidence that desired results
have been achieved.
Considering what needs to be
uncovered is vital when designing
curriculum because big ideas are
often subtle, abstract, and not

31. Planning Instruction: Think in terms of Three
Orientations to Teaching:
Transmission [one way communication such as
lecture and demonstration];
Transaction [two-way communication such as
questioning and discussion];
Transformation [learning by doing such as
work-experience, practicum, simulation, role-
playing].
Think in terms of Five Orientations to Teaching:
Transaction; Transformation; Engineering;
Developmental; Nurturing

classroom climate- trust, mutual respect, risk-taking, encouragement,
cooperation, openness, encouragement, free & open communication,
inclusiveness, belonging, influence, DESCA: dignity,
energy/enthusiasm, self-management, community, awareness.
36. Preconditions of creative learning environments
For learning and teaching spaces to be creative, the
NACCCE argues that adults and young people
equally need to be supported by physical
environments that provide them with the:
ability to formulate new problems, rather than
depending on others to define them
ability to transfer what they learn across
different contexts
ability to recognise that learning is an ongoing,
incremental process and involves making mistakes
and learning from failure
capacity to focus your attention in pursuit of
a goal.
37. Effect of creativity and meditation rooms on pupils
Pupils self-esteem and sense of wellbeing was raised
through involvement in designing the meditation and
creativity rooms
Pupils benefited from learning specific techniques for
relaxation and creative thinking in the redesigned rooms
Pupils felt greater ownership of their learning
environment when given the power to design and create it
Pupils working in their own creative room become more
engaged in writing activities
Feedback from pupils and parents was positive in
assessing the outcomes of the project
New strategies were developed for teaching meditation,
relaxation, philosophy and creativity
Staff felt the new rooms provided creative resources for
the whole school
38. Strategies to encourage imagination
Dialogue this implies time and spaces
designed to support this
Dreaming time rooms set aside for
dreaming
Experiment
Storytelling
Going beyond the school walls, making
connections with the neighbourhood and
community
Allowing students to use their local
landscape to identify problems and from
there to develop imaginative solutions
39. Role of a Teacher
At school, only the quality of teacher is a
greater determinant of student success
than the environment.
Environments can be nourishing or
toxic, supportive or draining.
Environments are never neutral
(Jensen, 2003)
40. In other words
STAGE III:
Develop a lesson plan that will
provide students with the
opportunity to reach the
desired objectives.
41. First think like an
assessor before
designing specific
units and lessons
43. TEACHERS..
think like an assessor before designing specific units and
lessons, and consider up front how to determine whether
students have attained the desired understandings. When
units or projects are anchored by performance tasks or
projects, evidence is provided that indicates whether
students are able to use their knowledge in context, a more
appropriate means of evoking and assessing enduring
understanding. More traditional assessments (quizzes,
tests, and prompts) are used to round out the picture by
assessing essential knowledge and skills that contribute to
the culminating performances.
44. Teachers must address the specifics of
instructional planning -choices about teaching
methods, sequence of lessons, and
resource materials - AFTER identifying the
desired results and assessments.
Teaching is a means to an end.
