Remodeling Overview

So, you're ready to improve your lessons through remodeling?

The full process of lesson remodeling in laid out in:

Lesson remodeling is a reflective process in which you begin with an existing lesson, and revise both content (curriculum, materials, and topics) as well as pedagogies (teaching/learning strategies).

 

You can remodel for just about any purpose! The book, 95 Strategies for Remodeling Instruction, is about remodeling for student-centredness in pedagogies.

 

However, you can remodel for many other purposes, including:

• equity,
• culture,
• gender, 
• inclusion,
• critical thinking,
• and much, much more!

Keep in mind that remodeling means you re-think ALL aspects of your lesson:

• Content - what are the topics? What resources or readings are you using?
• Pedagogies - what are the teaching/learning strategies you are using?
• Assessments - on what student performance or products are you basing your judgement of students' mastery of skills?
