Empowering Teachers with Curriculum
In 2025-2026, we are working with a group of practitioners in a makerspace to explore and evaluate curriculum materials that provide
teachers with support in facilitation, planning and design
learners with choice and opportunities for independent learning.
How it happened
How it happened
In 2025-2026 the AlphaPlus Community of Practice looked at curriculum resources that allow instructors to
Build a series of lessons that flow together.
Create differentiated learning opportunities.
Cover a topic comprehensively.
We facilitated 2 series of 4 90-minute online workshops for our group to
engage with peers in rich conversations about the practice of teaching
explore and evaluate examples of curricula that use a blended-learning approach to understanding communication and collaboration in a digitally connected world
The curricula included teacher-facing guides, instructions, objectives and/or teaching tips. We had the opportunity to wear three hats – learner, teacher and designer – to examine the components of a curriculum and build a framework for curriculum and resource evaluation.
As learners, we experienced lessons on a topic of interest to us in our work or daily lives.
As planners and facilitators, we reflected on the learner experience in each lesson and how to apply what we have experienced to our own practice.
As instructional designers, we evaluated how the teacher-facing materials support our work.
