Listen as our esteemed guest and education guru Dr. Kendra Van Kirk (University of Miami) discusses how to utilize backward design to ensure effective learning on the wards! We cover the three stages of backward design, how to identify specific learning objectives for each learner, and how to create instructional activities and assessments to confirm learning and understanding have occurred.   Website | Instagram | Twitter | Subscribe | Swag! | Top Picks | thecurbsidersteach@gmail.com | Free CME!

Journey's can take two forms. You can wander aimlessly and see where you end up or you can travel toward a particular destination. To ensure a well-lived life we should have a certain life-long destination in mind and we can then design the life we want to live to reach that destination. This is the essence of backward design.

Backward design, also called backward planning or backward mapping, is a process that educators use to design learning experiences and instructional techniques to achieve specific learning goals. Backward design begins with the objectives of a unit or course—what students are expected to learn and be able to do—and then proceeds “backward” to create lessons that achieve those desired goals. In most public schools, the educational goals of a course or unit will be a given state's learning standards—i.e., concise, written descriptions of what students are expected to know and be able to do at a specific stage of their education.

Are we planning with clear, measurable, meaningful learning goals to guide us, or are we just keeping students busy? Backward design helps us make sure we're doing the first thing. In this episode, I'm giving you an overview of how this approach to lesson planning works.

How might school closures result in a shift toward quality rather than quantity when educating our English learners and how can we sustain that effort moving forward? Why should empathy-building and perspective-taking be first and foremost when designing learning experiences for vulnerable student populations? How might we elevate the role of the EL Specialist while also bringing content teachers on board to serve English learners and their families? We discuss these questions and more on this edition of our Reimagining EL Education series, featuring Sarah Ottow, Founder and Director of Confianza. Sarah has over twenty years of experience in teaching, training, and coaching for English language learner success. As a professional development specialist, her work focuses on improving cultural understanding, communication, and collaboration.

​Are you waiting to start your business until the perfect side hustle reveals itself to you?  Today we’re talking about why you should stop waiting and start taking action. Oftentimes people come to Side Hustle Teachers with the goal of starting a side hustle, but no clear idea on what to do.  And while I and the Facebook group can provide lots of ideas, only you can decide what’s right for you. There’s no “1 way” Like many things in life, there are multiple paths a side hustlin’ teacher can follow.  What most people don’t say out loud is that most of the paths available to you are equally good. It’s like when you input a destination into Google maps.  You’re often given several routes to choose from - maybe one has tolls while another takes a few minutes longer - but in the end, they all get you to your destination. No matter what your side hustlin’ destination, whether it’s early retirement, saving for college, or to build up a savings account and stop living paycheck to paycheck, there are multiple side hustles that will get you there. We might not know the whole path before we start. It can be scary to start a journey without knowing every turn along the way, but if you take the first step, then the next best step, and repeat, you’ll reach your goal.  If you wait for the path to become clear, you’re never going to start. For example, in Season 1 I talked with Robin Walker about her journey.  She started out selling cheerleading bows and now coaches women in business and runs the annual Women’s Business Conference in Wisconsin. I know this can be a daunting prospect for teachers who are used to Backward Design and planning with the end in mind, but it can be done.  Remember, there’s no end of the year or state test for your business. You can take your time and just keep taking the next right step. Is there a wrong path? So, if there are numerous right ways to reach my goal, is there a wrong way? You know you’re not on the right path if you’re doing something that doesn’t align with your values or your goals, and only you can define what that is.  If you’re doing business with a company or in a way that goes against your moral or ethical code, stop. Find another path. However, a lot of people think that discomfort is a sign that something is wrong.  That is simply untrue. Discomfort is a sign that something is changing. And change, while scary, isn’t bad.  It’s up to you evaluate your discomfort and decide whether it’s coming from growth and change, or if something in your life is misaligned. What’s the next best step? The only way to reach your goal is to take action.  Your next best step is to make a decision and go for it. If you’re at the beginning of your journey, your next best step might be securing a domain name or signing up with a company you want to be a part of.  If you’re further along it might be hiring a coach or investing in a web designer.   The idea is to act.  Make a decision and do it.   If you’re ready to start or grow your side hustle, I invite you to join the Edupreneur Academy.  Follow our Success Path, check out the growing library or lessons and tutorials, and get support in finding your next right step.  Right now, and through March 24th, 2020, you can join for only $10 a month and get access to all the tools you need to reach your goal.

Why would I stop teaching music?  Great question!  You see, I've loved teaching children and working with amazing teachers for more than 20 years in schools.  But through my work as a professional developer, I learned there was an incredible need for high-quality PD for music and arts educators in schools around the world.  This is my story of why I jumped. . . and how I hope to make a difference.

Backward design is an instructional design strategy for developing courses. With backward design, you start by creating your objectives. Next, you create your assessments. Finally, you develop your instructional content. The result is a tighter course that focuses on exactly what you want your learners to know. In this episode, I am going to breakdown the elements and process for implementing backward design. During the podcast, I will also touch on developing objectives and Bloom’s revised taxonomy for learning. Come learn more.

Teaching provides a learner with more information, but the information isn't the only thing that is required to teach effectively. Doing is almost just as essential as the information itself for the learner to solidify what was taught. Creating an effective learning path is challenging, and we tend to start from what we know and take it from there. Janelle challenges the tendency to start from our knowledge, and instead, we should start from where we want our learners to end up being and work backward from there, this is called Backward Design.Backward design doesn't just apply to education, it applies directly to software development. As developers, it's essential that we get out of our head and start with the user.How do you start teaching if you have no one to teach? Janelle says there are three critical components to building your audience, having an email list, providing valuable content, and consistency. If you stay genuine and provide value you'll filter out anyone who doesn't resonate with you and what you offer.Transcript"Get out of Your Head and Start with Your Users - with Janelle Allen" TranscriptResourcesBadass: Making Users AwesomeShambhala: The Sacred Path of the WarriorJanelle Allen:TwitterJoel Hooks:TwitterWebsite
