Hinweis der Redaktion
Kevin – this is what you hope to take away from
I have something better I’ll work on
This slide make what a toolkit is and the work outline more tangible than just the word cloud I think we really need this to clarify the toolkit and most importantly what we are going to be talking about ANDWhat we are asking participant to do!Reassess
NEED – list of outcomesActivity 1 – Give example outcomes (5 or 6 outcomes choose from across the curriculum). Elicit responses. (goal: emulate our process. “We just want you to have a sense for the type of thinking and type of work we went through in creating the Toolkits.”)Participants review each outcome Ask to evaluate the outcomes (how would you rate these?)How would you teach (prepare instruction) this outcome?How would you measure this outcome? Goal: Create measureable and accessible set of objectives, instruction, and assessment
