Do you want to create project-based curriculum that supports all learners to engage, achieve, and contribute to healthy future?
In partnership with the University of Michigan School of Education, CCES is offering a hands-on, 2-day master class. The class provides knowledge, skills, and a step-wise process to develop curriculum grounded in the concepts of healthy communities, democratic societies, and social justice.
Change your curriculum to change students’ lives.
Starting with either existing or planned curriculum, you’ll receive guidance to develop or redesign a unit or course that engages students in authentic problem-solving while also meeting required standards and content. We know you care about connecting educational equity and community well-being, and this workshop will give you tools to put that into practice and change your students’ lives.
Participants will:
- Gain a fresh, interdisciplinary understanding of their curriculum
- (Re)design a unit or course sequenced to promote engagement, inquiry, decision-making, and positive action.
- Apply a “backwards design” process to align outcomes, instruction, and assessment.
- Receive an instructional design booklet with support tools and frameworks for the participant’s individual classroom use.
- Earn 12 Michigan SCECHs (State Continuing Education Clock Hours).
