Description

In this course, students learned research-based practices for designing for learning, how to focus on conceptual understanding, and the development of higher order thinking in a number of domains and across multiple contexts (schools, museums, outdoor environments, etc.). Each student developed two curriculum units -- one as part of a team and the second independently -- on topics of their choice.
