Teach Meaningful is a practical guide to designing curriculum that meets
standards, serves personal and institutional values, and intentionally leads to
successful student learning. Identifying which understandings, knowledge, and
skills are "most important" for students to learn is always a question of values, so
getting clear on values gives teachers a starting place to design cohesive units,
courses, and programs. Written by a teacher for teachers, Teach Meaningful
includes:
stories of failures and successes in designing curriculum from across
subjects and grade levels
metaphors from everyday life to help teachers understand curriculum
design as a process rooted in values and culminating in meaningful
learning
examples of essential questions, assessment guidelines, lesson calendars,
unit plans, and curriculum maps
exercises and templates teachers can use to create and assess curriculum
protocols designed to encourage inclusive participation and critical
reflection when colleagues look at curriculum together
