Builds a ready-to-teach slide deck for your grade and topic that runs a whole lesson: prior knowledge, instruction, examples, modeling, guided and independent practice, assessment and review, with title, student text, activity and visual for each slide.
Make an educational poster. - Topic: [topic] - Subject: [subject] - Students: [grade/level] Content - Bring out the essential rules, formulas, key concepts, strategies or reminders, in short language suited to the students' age. - Divide it into clear sections with meaningful headings, plus relevant icons or illustrations. Design - Easy-to-read type, a strong hierarchy and enough space between elements. The poster must be correct, engaging to look at, uncluttered and suitable to display in a classroom.
You are a seasoned curriculum specialist and instructional designer. I want to build an academic course with the Backward Design method. In this step we work only on Stage 1, defining the results learners should reach: do not design any assessment, lesson or activity yet. Course details: - Subject: [subject] - Course title: [course title] - Educational stage: [educational stage, for example primary, middle or high school, or university] - Grade or year: [grade level or year] - Target learners: [target learners] - Course duration: [course duration] - Instructional hours: [number of instructional hours] - Course description: [course description, if you have one] - Curriculum or standards to follow: [curriculum or educational standards, if any] If a key detail is missing, ask me only the questions you truly need, then start. Steps: 1. Analyze the target learners: their characteristics, what they already know, their learning needs and their developmental level. 2. Write clear course learning outcomes that can be measured, built on observable action verbs drawn from Bloom's Taxonomy. Every outcome must be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and action-oriented; phrase the outcomes in SMART form where it makes sense. 3. List the core knowledge, skills, competencies and dispositions that learners should have gained when the course ends. 4. List the prerequisite knowledge and skills learners need before the course starts. 5. Define the enduring understandings (big ideas) learners should keep long after the course is over. 6. Write essential questions that spark inquiry and critical thinking and lead to deep understanding and to learning that transfers to new situations. Constraints: - The outcomes suit the developmental level of the stated educational stage and match the curriculum or standards, when I provide them. - Order the outcomes as a progression, from foundational knowledge and skills up to higher-order thinking and application. - For each outcome, add a short explanation of how it serves the overall goals of the course. Before you present the final version, check the whole set of outcomes: it must be coherent, measurable, learner-centered and consistent with Backward Design, and solid enough to be the basis for designing the assessments and the learning experiences.
You are a seasoned curriculum specialist and instructional designer. We are designing the assessments of my academic course, following Stage 2 of the Backward Design method. Course details: - Subject: [subject] - Course title: [course title] - Educational stage: [educational stage, for example primary, middle or high school, or university] - Grade or year: [grade level or year] - Course learning outcomes: [paste the learning outcomes from Phase 1] - Curriculum or standards to follow: [curriculum or educational standards, if any] If a key detail is missing, ask me only the questions you truly need, then start. Goal of this stage: decide what evidence will prove that learners reached the intended outcomes. Do this before any lesson or learning activity is designed. Requirements: 1. Every assessment maps directly to one or more of the course learning outcomes. 2. Build a balanced plan mixing diagnostic, formative and summative assessments, as fits the educational stage and the subject. 3. Where it makes sense, include authentic performance tasks in which learners apply and transfer what they know and can do to meaningful real-world situations. 4. Use a range of methods suited to the subject and stage, such as quizzes, written assignments, projects, presentations, lab activities, portfolios, performances, observations or practical tasks. 5. For each assessment, state: its purpose, the outcome(s) it measures, the method, an estimated weighting (if relevant) and when it should happen in the course. 6. Write clear criteria and an analytic scoring rubric for every major assessment and performance task. 7. For objective and constructed-response items, supply model answers or answer keys where appropriate. 8. The plan must give evidence of learner achievement that is fair, valid, reliable and sufficient. 9. Taken together, the assessments cover knowledge, skills, conceptual understanding and the capacity to transfer learning, going beyond the recall of facts. Present the assessment plan as a table, followed by the rubrics and the answer keys. Before you present the final version, review the whole plan: it must be coherent, fit the learners' developmental level, align fully with the course learning outcomes and with Backward Design, and be ready to serve as the basis for designing the course structure, the lessons and the learning activities.
You are a seasoned curriculum specialist and instructional designer. We are organizing my academic course, following Stage 3 of the Backward Design method. Course details: - Subject: [subject] - Course title: [course title] - Educational stage: [educational stage, for example primary, middle or high school, or university] - Grade or year: [grade level or year] - Course duration: [course duration] - Instructional hours: [number of instructional hours] - Course learning outcomes: [paste the learning outcomes from Phase 1] - Assessment plan: [paste the assessment plan from Phase 2] - Curriculum or standards to follow: [curriculum or educational standards, if any] If a key detail is missing, ask me only the questions you truly need, then start. Goal of this stage: arrange the course as a coherent series of modules or units that gets learners ready to reach the intended outcomes and to do well in the planned assessments. Steps: 1. Split the course into chapters, modules or units that follow a logical order, whichever suits the subject and the educational stage. 2. Order the units as a progression that moves from foundational concepts and skills toward more advanced learning. 3. For every unit, give: - Title - Description - Learning outcomes it addresses - Essential questions - Key concepts and skills - Estimated instructional time - Related assessments taken from the assessment plan Constraints: - Each unit clearly serves at least one course learning outcome and gets learners ready for the assessments linked to it. - Prerequisite knowledge and skills always come before the more advanced concepts and applications that depend on them. - The sequence offers enough chances for practice, feedback and gradual growth of knowledge and skills from start to finish. - The structure is balanced, fits the developmental level of the stated stage and matches the curriculum or standards, when I provide them. Before you present the final version, review the whole structure: it must be coherent, logically ordered, fully aligned with the learning outcomes and the assessments, and consistent with Backward Design.
