Module 3:
Engaging Tools for Interactive Learning

Introduce educators to a range of digital and non-digital tools that enhance the interactive learning experience.

• Technology Tools for Education:
  Overview of modern educational tools (e.g., online quizzes, interactive whiteboards, learning management systems) and their application in the classroom.
• Non-Digital Tools:
  Learn how to use physical materials such as posters, cards, or interactive hands-on kits in the classroom.
• Practical Application:
  • Tool Selection: Discover how to choose the right tools based on your lesson objectives.
  • Interactive Exercises: Explore how to integrate tech tools like Kahoot!, Padlet, and Google Classroom into lessons to encourage interaction.
• Interactive Project:
  Use one or more tools to create an interactive lesson or activity. Present the lesson plan and explain how the tools enhance student engagement and learning outcomes.

Module 4:
Assessment and Feedback for Continuous Growth

Equip educators with the skills to assess student progress and provide constructive feedback that drives growth and encourages a growth mindset.

• Effective Assessment Strategies:
  Understand various types of assessments (formative, summative, peer assessments, etc.) and how they align with student-centered learning.
• Feedback Techniques:
  Learn how to provide feedback that is specific, actionable, and motivating, focusing on areas of improvement and strengths.
• Practical Application:
  • Assessment Design: Learn how to create assessments (quizzes, projects, presentations) that are aligned with your teaching goals.
  • Feedback Workshops: Gain hands-on experience in writing and delivering feedback to students in ways that foster a positive learning environment.
• Interactive Project:
  Design a rubric for a project or assignment and explain how you would provide feedback on student work based on the rubric.

Module 5:
Advanced Pedagogical Techniques

Deepen your teaching expertise with advanced strategies to cater to diverse learning styles, differentiate instruction, and foster higher-order thinking.

• Differentiated Instruction:
  Learn strategies for differentiating lessons to meet the diverse needs of learners.
• Higher-Order Thinking:
  How to use Bloom's Taxonomy to encourage critical thinking and creativity in students.
• Practical Application:
  • Lesson Differentiation: Explore techniques to adapt content for different learning needs (e.g., gifted students, students with learning disabilities, etc.).
  • Inquiry-Based Learning: Learn how to design lessons where students actively participate in discovering knowledge through questioning and exploration.
• Interactive Project:
  Create a lesson plan that incorporates differentiated instruction and higher-order thinking strategies. Provide examples of how you would modify the lesson to accommodate students of different skill levels.

Final Capstone Project

Apply everything you've learned in the program by designing a comprehensive teaching unit that integrates the TBB methodology, student-centered curriculum design, interactive tools, assessment, and advanced pedagogical strategies.

• Project Overview:
  Educators will design an entire curriculum or lesson unit that incorporates TBB principles and covers a series of lessons using active learning techniques.
• Final Deliverables:
  • - A detailed lesson plan/unit plan.
  • - A set of formative and summative assessments for the unit.
  • - Interactive tools and technology integrated into the lessons.
  • - A feedback and assessment rubric to evaluate student work.
• Practical Application:
  • - Apply all concepts and methods learned throughout the program to create a fully-fledged teaching unit.
  • - Demonstrate how the unit engages students, provides meaningful feedback, and drives continuous improvement.
• Interactive Project:
  Present your Capstone Project to a mentor or peer group, receiving constructive feedback and providing feedback on others' projects.

Summary of Practical Application in Each Module:

Each module emphasizes hands-on, real-world teaching techniques that you can immediately apply in your classroom. By the end of the program:

• You will have designed student-centered lesson plans and curricula.
• You will be able to integrate interactive tools and technology to enhance student engagement.
• You will have developed assessment and feedback strategies that support continuous growth.
• You will have created a comprehensive teaching unit that incorporates all the principles and techniques learned in the program.
