Sharing Design with others

This week I had the opportunity to share the concept of design and ACTS with my department. As a department chair, I get the opportunity to share alot about curriulum and guiding our efforts in accomplishing department goals. In this weeks meeting, I discussed the importance of "designing" our courses to cause a more effective learning environment. I discussed the components of ACTS and how it can be incorporated into lesson plans. I have 2 novice teachers in our department and they were very excited to hear about these concepts. They feel that this will help guide them in their lesson planning process. Pay it forward:)
