On this last reflection , I can express my interest in this challenging curriculum framed around UbD elements.
On the one hand, this framework made me realize that our typical curriculum aim is focused on covering lists of content knowledge and skills in a mechanistic way ,mainly fostering a less coherent and effective learning on our learners; it helped me think over the reasons for using it ,both the simplicity and objectivity of the tasks, adding the easy way to organize it on the other.
So, a new way of thinking should help us understand how the learning of a second language works efficiently .Indeed, framing this curriculum UbD through big ideas, essential questions, core performance tasks and developmental rubrics will enhance self-assessment, self-adjustment and understanding of the teacher's final judgement .Besides, it will make use of interesting and connected ,meaningful activities.
Therefore, can it be possible to take aside the logic of content instead of the logic of learning?
It is our hope to meet the standards that improve learning regardless of the educational setting in which we find ourselves and the hard work required . To perform it a recipe for UbD framework is suggested.
Ingredients: -a portion of big ideas, essential questions and big spoons of performance tasks.
Preparation: Take this curriculum to team meetings.Then provide a big dose of time and analysis.
Use textbooks as resources and prepare a syllabi through circular learning to use big ideas with understanding in performance for the sake of our learners'depth of development,behaviour and experience in order to get an effective organization.
