I found the CTSOs interesting. The curriculum mapping will be the most helpful tool in my course development and planning that was discussed in this section.
Curriculum maps and planning gives the students a clear understanding as to what is expected
Begin with the End in Mind means to begin each day, task, or project with a clear vision of your desired direction and destination. I am going to work with each student to find out their end goals and make sure that we are both working on them.
I am excited about the idea of a curriculum map for my advisory committee.
I would love to use the fipped classroom approach in my public speaking courses. My concern is that the students will not access the learning materials online and do the "before" work which would not be good for the activities in the class. I'd love to find some ways to reduce that risk.
I love the "I Do, We Do, You Do" approach. Pairing that with a "Need to Know, Nice to Know, Nuts to Know" division of resources would be really helpful for students, especially those who really seek out enrichment or love going above and beyond in class.
Curriculum planning should start with a step by step process and will be used to keep on pace with your teaching through out the year. I will start using this along with (MLOs) and incorporate even more planning.
I've learned the value of a flipped classroom and the importance of creating a course map and pacing guide. To avoid confusion agmonst students, share this pacing guide and learning objectives week 1!
Our planning document allows for the flexibility to review previous material that was relevant. As for CTSO's I foster the inclusion of area certifications through Culinary Arts Federation.
Lesson planning and curriculum mapping must be processes, they need to be changed and adapted as we observe how students engage with each lesson/unit.
I've had the benefit of judging regional CTSO competitions, and it was a great experience. I'm glad to know students are involved and invested in their careers, even in high school. I just finished my second year as a CTE post-secondary instructor, and I wish I had the "pace yourself" advice when I first started. My lectures were so note-heavy and text laden, but after consulting my colleagues, I was able to make my lectures more engaging with a flipped classroom model. I still need to tone down the information on my slides, but I'm getting there!
mapping out the learning is good teaching and learning! Both for teacher and student!
Having a lesson planned helps the class stay on task. The days that I have not had a clear lesson planned out were the days that I was easily off-topic and the day/project did not feel put together.
Having a plan,map and scope to maximize the teaching process and make sure that the students are able to master the skills.
SMART Learning Goals can be used by CTE Teachers to ensure that the content that they want to cover in a day/week/month/quarter/semester makes sense and is accomplishable.
This module, so far, was a stern affirmation of what our district is already doing and what our CTE director and administration is already asking us to do. Alot of the material here in this module are things we have been implementing over the last few years. It reinforced and encouraged me to keep doing the things we already have in place and to continue refining our practices.
Having a map and scope of what your course will look like is not only helpful in lesson planning but ensures you will meet all the standards for the semester. I appricaited the example websites. They gave great examples of lesson plan templates.
the Fliped classroom is something I was doing, just didn't know what it was called. I like the SMART format and look forward to trying it out during planing.
I learned that there are curriculum map templates. This was never mentioned to me. But, now things are beginning to come together for me and make sense.
I find a high value in curriculum planning to lace lecture, lab, exercises, and group projects together in a way that keeps the students engaged and learning.
