Chloe Chapin, Assistant Director, Course Design
How do I plan a section? What’s a good in-class activity? How do I grade this assignment? How should I start planning a sample syllabus for the job market? As an instructor, your challenge is to create a learning environment where students have the tools, opportunity, and desire to learn. How do you create the conditions where this is possible? In this session, we will use backwards design to practice planning engaging and goal-oriented courses, assignments, lessons, and activities. Backwards course design is a method of curriculum planning and assignment design that centers student engagement. It will help you learn to articulate your goals and objectives and create appropriate methods of instruction and assessment. We will reflect on ways that these backwards design strategies can help us think about our own goals, scholarship, and values as educators.
This workshop is being offered as part of Winter Teaching Week and is designed for GSAS PhD students and others at similar career stages engaged in the teaching of Harvard College undergraduates. Pre-registration is required.
