Transform your teaching practices with our UPP lesson plan makeovers.
During this three-part professional learning series, we explore strategies for adapting lessons and tasks to meet the needs of all learners. Each session centers on a key question: “How can I transform my lesson plans to better support student engagement with grade-level content?” For a hands-on experience, we use lesson plans submitted by participants for live makeovers. In Lesson Makeover 2: Planning With Student-Centered Tasks, we adapt a task to ensure students carry the cognitive lift. Participants will explore how to adapt a task from your lesson so that students collectively carry the cognitive lift — doing the reading, writing, and thinking in the lesson. They will learn how to transform a boring, teacher-centered task into an engaging, student-centered task.
