This four-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 these two elements, you then plan the instruction and activities.
During this workshop, you will analyze a sample ESOL lesson to identify the essential elements of backward design and then use a lesson planning template to design a lesson of your own. We ask that you bring a unit plan from which to develop a lesson, or existing lessons to work on and refine.
