The Backward Design Process
is vital as it gives you an opportunity to view an existing lesson
being implemented by a Master Teacher in alignment with your lesson plan
topic, the opportunity to then deconstruct that lesson from whole to
part by documenting “observed” behaviors of both teacher and students,
to also document observed interventions and strategies and finally to
suggest at least one additional instructional event (activity) to move
the lesson’s quality from “good to great”. Very important frontloading
activity, particularly for those that are beginners in the Lesson
Development, Design and Implementation Processes.
*Backward Design-Activity
#1:-provides the Educational Practitioner with the opportunity to
“deconstruct” a lesson presented from a Master Teacher from whole to
part by following the following steps;
• Choose a fully implemented lesson of interest via You-Tube.
• Observe and analyze the lesson closely and document observations, interventions and strategies observed into the template provided.
• Documents activities, interventions and strategies onto the template that you would add to enhance the quality of the lesson.
