Description

This 3-hour workshop applies Wiggins and McTighe’s Backward Design approach to ESOL lesson planning. The process begins with the end in mind to help you connect the learning objectives of a lesson to a demonstration of learning. After you’ve established the lesson’s elements, you then move on to create the instruction and activities.  During the workshop, you will analyze a sample ESOL lesson to identify the essential elements of Backward Design and then will use a lesson planning template to design a lesson of your own. If you would like, bring a unit plan from your program from which to develop a lesson plan, or bring an existing lesson plan to work on and refine.

    Learning Objectives

    Upon completion of this professional development activity/course, you will be able to:

  • Identify the three stages of backward design
    Analyze the key design elements in planning an ESOL lesson
    Apply the three stages of backward design to design an ESOL lesson
