UBD Update
Teaching for Understanding has been a great help in examining my lesson plan. I have gathered a more thorough understanding of why I am trying to incorporate some of the information for my plan. The recent chapters we have read have made me reflecton my origional proposal.
I believe I had goals and objective met pretty well. I am going back to examine my assessments and reflections. After each use of the plans, i try to determine my successes and failures of each lesson. The wiske book has given me many new insights. I also want to look further into the issue of collaboration. I try to incorporate other subjects, but not neccessarily with another faculty member or class. Extension outside of the class would be great.Wiske (2005)
I am looking at adjusting some activites to include collaboration outside the class. I have other classes learning the same material that I might be able to utilize. This plan we are developing is easier to understand as we are adjusting to the readings.
I am also looking to expand the understanding of how this information affects the students on an every day basis.
