TSL aims to bring MIT’s “minds and hands approach” to the pre K-12 world through design, development, research and capacity building”

This is a chance to make real impact through this program – your work actively shapes how the Woodrow Wilson Academy will be run! (Doors open Summer 2017!!)

2 Design Challenges:

1. Design a Competency-based Challenge (a pre-service teacher education learning experience) that builds off the Competencies of the WWA. They say “practice makes perfect”. Re-imagine the practice that gets new teachers  ready for the classroom Day 1.
2. Design the technology that will underlie the program. In order to walk the talk, we need the tools to support innovations in curriculum, such as online performance-based assessment and Challenge-based learning.

 

You will:

• Design: Learn the  design process and how to scaffold the design of such abstract systems like education 
• Engage: Push the limits of physical prototyping for education 
• Discover: Understand and apply principles related to competency-based learning and instructional design
• Practice: Hone your design, critical thinking, and teamwork skills
• Grow: Additional UROP opportunities (and potentially graduate stipends) will be available for selected projects to continue the work throughout the spring
• ...and more!

 

All MIT participants should apply by January 15, 2016: http://tinyurl.com/DesignForEdu-Apply
