Hi all, I thought I might place the Teachers as Architects Curriculum Planning Framework here so that for future planning, it could easily be referred to, or even copied and pasted onto new pages.

Teachers askkkkkework:

__**1. Acquiring Prior Knowledge**__: (what do the students bring to this topic? How can you text prior knowledge?)

__**2. Clarify Expectations:**__ (What will the students be able to do at the end of the unit? What are the essential teaching aims?)

__**3. Tuning In**__: (How can you hook the kids in and get their interest? What rich materials could be used to introduce this topic?)

__**4. Information Producing:**__ (What resources are necessary for modeling end products and assist learning?)

__**5. Information Processing:**__ (How can you assist students understanding your resources?)

__**6. Applications/Doing:**__ (What will students do in terms of authentic tasks to demonstrate the skills they are to learn - ALSO - what parts of the content must be taught explicitly?)

__**7. Reflection:**__ (Have the students reached the learning goal? How can they assess their own work? How do you assess your own planning?)
