As a teacher or educator, it may be tiring to take on the responsibility of preparing a good programming of the teaching unit that can reach all users of your course. Here are some useful tips to make a learning unit more constructive for your students.
Steps
Method 1 of 1: Build Your Teaching Unit
Step 1. Set Your Goals
Writing a clear objective for each lesson and activity will help you focus your attention on your students' learning and on your own teaching.
Step 2. Follow a Standard Form for Programming a Unit
It usually starts with the goals, but also includes the materials used, lessons, resources and accommodation for each student in the class.
Step 3. Evaluate Your Resources
Take some time to review what resources you have at your disposal. Often, there are good resources already in use and using a lesson or a previous learning methodology will save you a lot of time in the long run.
Step 4. Study the National Regulations and find out about the current content / topics of your teaching unit
Step 5. List in schematic form and in sequential order the main concepts to clarify the notions you intend to teach in a given period of time
Step 6. Design and Build Your Assessment Tools
After having evaluated the resources from which to draw, it carries out various evaluation methodologies to establish the degree of learning achieved by the students. Both summative and formative assessments should be carried out to ensure that the set goals are achieved by all students.
Step 7. Choose Lessons Carefully
Based on the time available and the needs of your students, choose what best suits their learning styles and methodologies that can attract their curiosity and interest.
Step 8. Follow landmarks
After the unit has started, make sure you have some parameters to adhere to during the course of the unit. This will help you keep track of time and ensure that learning goals are met.
Advice
