Getting Started with Designing Curriculum Storyboards

FOCUS: How can I shift from a piecemeal approach to curriculum coverage to one that deliberately is written for my students? How can I craft an engaging storyboard that will hook my learners' imagination ? Join us as we walk through our approach to designing a storyboard that you could use directly with your students.

In this session we launch into the design experience clarifying core components and coaching guidance on how to draft one. Join us for a lively, creative, and practical session whether you work on an existing curriculum course needing an "upgrade" or you begin from scratch with a new concept. You will leave with tools to support your efforts and examples of existing boards from school throughout the world to clarify your thinking.
