Learning outcomes:
- LO5: Evaluate the strength of a curriculum in light of the principles of backward design.
- LO6: Design or modify a comprehensive curriculum or syllabus, specific to your disciplinary context.
Syllabus
Teaching portfolio:
You will complete a total of eight teaching portfolio components (submissions) throughout this course, which will culminate in a teaching portfolio to be assembled at the end of the course. To derive the most value from this portfolio, it is important that you base your submissions on the area (field, discipline, or subject matter) in which you currently teach or would like to teach.
The fifth teaching portfolio component is based on Professor Rob Lue’s video at the beginning of this unit and the research task you completed. Using the video content and the syllabi collected through the research task, you will need to:
- Design a syllabus centered on a topic of your choice; or
- Modify an existing syllabus (that you may have found through the research task) to ensure it is as effective and aligned with the identified learning goals as possible.
To complete this submission, download the Teaching Portfolio Component document below, answer the questions in the spaces provided, and save your completed submission. Then upload the completed submission to the Online Campus for review.
Important note: the length of the syllabus should span more than one lesson, but still fall within the allocated word count.
