How could you have been taught better?

Throughout this module, you have been encouraged to consider the value of various approaches to the planning, organization (structure), and delivery of lessons. The aim of this post-reflection is for you to consider the value of incorporating any of the approaches or strategies discussed in this module into teaching within your discipline (disciplinary context).

  • Describe your best learning experience. What were the features of that experience? What approaches did the instructor use? 
  • What strategies discussed in this unit do you or teachers within your discipline use? How valuable do you think these strategies have been to your own learning? Why or why not?
  • Think about lessons (or concepts) you have been taught (or that you have taught) that could have benefited from the use of backward design or other organizational strategies, to better facilitate an understanding of the content presented. How could these lessons have been better delivered?

Your reflection should not exceed 400 words.
