Last year as I taught the new CHW3M and CHY4U courses I set for myself some personal challenges:
- try to implement the curriculum changes as fully as possible.
- try to bring inquiry into each lesson in some way.
I spent a lot of time with the curriculum document – it’s heavy but it’s all marked up now.
I can’t say that I was fully successful, but I’m proud of the efforts I did make. I took a lot of mental notes on what to change next time.
Here are some pointers I’ve developed to help me keep up the challenge and to communicate to other interested people what I am doing. Note: this PPT changes a lot as I add new things and develop my thinking.
The transition is hard but it’s worthwhile.
