How do we design tasks and learning experiences so that every student, every day, in every classroom, is learning and growing? What structures and models will create opportunities for teachers and students to learn deeply? Using authentic student work and tasks, we will explore how instruction and student learning are directly impacted by the design of the learning. Designing for equity also requires us to consider how to become culturally responsive in order to guide all students to competency.
Participants will evaluate tasks and student work to consider the intentionality of task design, instructional planning, and assessment practices in creating high expectations and cultural relevance. We will work in teams and share our thinking as we explore, examine, analyze, and create effective learning opportunities for all.
