Instructional Design for Flourishing Learners

Catalog description

A strong classroom is an environment where learners can flourish. ​Developing an understanding of practices that strengthen close social relationships through discussion and build positive character traits like collaboration and agency can increase the meaning and purpose that learners derive from classroom instruction. While “student-centered learning” can be used to describe a variety of instructional approaches, for this program of study, it is defined as educational practices that motivate students to be actively engaged in their own learning and require students to perform the majority of the cognitive lifting. This course focuses specifically on inclusive discussions, collaborative learning structures, student agency and voice, and the intentional cultivation of creativity and talent. Cura Personalis 2 will be embedded within this course.
