Orientation Session Th e Orientation session introduces the resources available in the course. Participants get to know the course instructional team, course colleagues, and the WIDE technical support team. We also introduce the course environment and the pedagogical framework that structures the course and is its central focus: Teaching for Understanding (TfU). Session 1: Understanding: Whats that mean? Understanding Goals: ■ What are your current perceptions of understanding with a ‘performance view? ■ How do such views shape our teaching and learning everyday? In this session, participants compare their current perceptions of understanding and will refl ect together on how their views shape their teaching on a daily basis. Session 2: Teaching for Understanding: Framing our work Understanding Goals: ■ How can you use the Teaching for Understanding Framework as a tool in your teaching? ■ What are the key elements of the TfU Framework? In this session, we explore the Teaching for Understanding Framework as a tool for instructional planning and revision that continually reorients attention back to understanding. Th e framework is comprised of four key elements that help educators to shape instruction so that it helps students learn for understanding. We will refl ect on and examine in some depth one of the four elements, Performances of Understanding. Session 3: Designing instruction for understanding: Topics and goals Understanding Goals: ■ What are the additional elements of Teaching for Understanding? ■ How can I modify my teaching using the TfU Framework? In this session, we probe two more elements of the Teaching for Understanding Framework in detail: Generative Topics and Understanding Goals. Participants will select an aspect of their own teaching to create or revise throughout the rest of the course by using the TfU Framework. To support this work, we begin using an online tool (the Collaborative Curriculum Design Tool, or CCDT) that facilitates collegial groups working together even when they cannot meet face-to-face. Session 4: Checking understanding as it develops Understanding Goals: ■ How do we know how well students understand? ■ Who develops assesments and determines how and when they are given? ■ What evidence of understanding might we see?? ■ How can we use that information to improve students chances to develop understanding?? Th is session focuses on the fi nal element of the Teaching for Understanding Framework: Ongoing Assessment. Educators will learn how to integrate the TfU Framework into their assesment proceedures to confi rm student understanding Session 5: Practicing with the framework Understanding Goals: ■ In what other ways can I adjust my curriculum using the TfU Framework? ■ How do all of the TfU elements work toegther to build student understanding? In this session, we suggest ways to refi ne curriculum designs further using TfU. We look at ways to engage every student by using entry points and to build in more opportunities for thinking (the main tool for http://www.unav.es/asignatura/teachingunderstandingfyl/ 4 de 8
building understanding). Participants post their draft projects and respond to each others designs to consider how the TfU elements work together to promote student understanding.
Session 6: Looking back and looking ahead Understanding Goals: ■ How have my thoughts about understanding changed during the course? ■ How can I continue to use TfU to support students understanding? In this fi nal session, participants refl ect on how their thinking about understanding has changed since the course began. Participants also plan ways that they can continue learning about and working with the Teaching for Understanding Framework to support their students eff orts to understand what is taught in school.
