For those of you who know my OpenK site for sharing teaching resources (broken at the time of publishing), I’ve come to the conclusion that sharing at the resource level is too fiddly. Its not worth searching and checking resources that will only take up 10 to 15 minutes of lesson time. Much better would be to take whole Units of Work (eg. 6 lessons) off the shelf.
I’m currently having to write units of work by providing the following data for each lesson:
OBJ Learning objectives
ACT Activities – chronological description of what happens, includes links to resources
OUT Outcomes – differentiated by All, most, some will…
ASS Assessment – Hmk or graded marking point with examples from last year.
TAG This is mapping things like citizenship or numeracy or literacy onto the lesson.
I’m getting annoyed in copying an pasting this info into different formats of Units of Work, and then lesson plans. Surely there’s a way of getting a SOW up onto the net and being able to present it in various contexts, comment on it and improve it.
