Part 1: Curriculum Mapping & Lesson Design – FPG Approved

Learn more about Faculty Professional Growth (FPG), including how to apply.

Session Description: In this session, you will design a curriculum map based on the most relevant concepts related to your course and competencies to build thematic units. Using this map, you will create a unit alignment by writing measurable learning objectives that connect your course materials and assessments to the course competencies.

Pre-requisites: None

Part 2: Building a Conceptual Framework – FPG Approved

Session Description: In this session, you will build a Conceptual Framework based on the most relevant concepts related to your course and competencies to build course modules. Using this framework, you will create a module aligning your measurable learning objectives to your course materials, assignments and assessments.

Pre-requisites: None

Part 3: Outcome-Based Learning & Informative Assessment – FPG Approved

Session Description: Participants will be able to connect the three main functions of formative assessment (including Classroom Assessment Techniques) with instruction. You will be provided the opportunity to identify and/or create formative assessments, that are clearly aligned to lesson objectives, to check for understanding, adjust or refine instruction and give appropriate feedback to students. This process is student-centered and will promote the development of metacognitive skills for learners.

Pre-requisites: None
