The IRIS Center also has Case Studies and I’ve chosen a relevant one for all of us to read and refect upon. Before you begin instruction, you will define the skills and knowledge you expect students to learn (what you now know as a learning objective/outcome). Similarly, you will also identify the behaviors you’ll expect of students as they engage in the learning activities. When students do not engage in these expected behaviors, you’ll need to be able to define the expected behavior and behaviors that need to be changed. This Case Study leads you through the steps to be able to do this.
Here is the Defining Behavior Case Study.
Again, after you read and reflect upon the Case Study, you are then required to Blog 200-words (OMG that is SO not very much to write!) by clicking on the Disqus Comments link below and write about what you’ll take away from the Defining Behavior Case Study to aid you in helping students reach their full potential.
You’ll be marked “present” for class after I read your Blog.
You’re barely scratching the surface of all of the amazing resources available at IRIS and at other online resources. Take note! You’ll want to come back to these over-and-ever again during the course of your career!
