Description
In this workshop, participants will gain familiarity with backward design: an approach to course design that builds on instructional goals to derive outcomes, assessments, and teaching strategies. We will outline the process of backward design, explore the key benefits of this method, and give participants time to apply the initial steps of this process as they prototype goals, outcomes, and assessments for a current, future, or hypothetical course that they would like to design.
Lunch will be provided.
As a result of attending GTA Toolkit, participants will:
- summarize the steps of the backward design process
- articulate the benefits of using backward design to plan a course
- apply the initial steps of backward design by prototyping course goals and learning outcomes as well as assessment plans aligned with this vision
- begin to collect the information and resources you will need to finish the course design process on your own
