This course seeks to provide you with beginning knowledge of how to holistically build unit plans in order to best serve your students and their learning goals. We will have a particular lens of viewing curriculum through a historically responsive and culturally sustaining lens. The primary project in this course will be designing a unit plan and lesson plan in an interdisciplinary setting that challenges middle school students to complete a Project Based Learning unit that focuses on global awareness. This course will meet from 8:30-3:30 for one week during the Summer semester, with some exceptions for flexibility. An important facet of this course will be discussions, activities, and presentations related to our readings. We will primarily dig into the purpose and objectives of a curriculum. A central piece of this course will be practicing making lesson plans and unit plans in an interdisciplinary setting.
