Tired of your students just not getting what you’re teaching, no matter what you do?

Action mapping means planning (or mapping) your teaching around your learning objectives (or actions you want the student be able to do).

Action mapping helps you get away from the teacher - centered classroom…

Page 5: Action mapping

…and create a student-centered experience where real learning is the goal.

You start with your instructional goal. What do you want students to be able to DO?

Page 7: Action mapping

Instructional goals should describe what’s “missing” from the educational “puzzle”…what do students need to be able to do that they’re not doing now?

Some examples…

Page 8: Action mapping

Students will…

…correctly identify major feminist critical theories.

…correctly incorporate text from outside sources in their writing.

…Use Euler's method to approximate solutions for first order differential equations.

Next, decide what behaviors will demonstrate that students are reaching the educational goal…that they are learning.

For example…

Page 10: Action mapping

…to correctly identify major feminist critical theories, students will critique advertising using a chosen feminist theory.

… to correctly incorporate text from outside sources in their writing, students will write rebuttals to opinion pieces.

…to use Euler's method to approximate solutions for first order differential equations, students must solve equations using that method.

Now that you know what students need to do to reach the goal, you can design practice activities.

The practice can also gauge what students have learned.

Ideal activities involve real world problems that require critical thinking to solve.

Some examples…

Page 13: Action mapping

…the student will choose a piece of advertising media to critique through the “lens” of a particular feminist theory and create a prezi to publish his/her critique.

…the student writes for a newspaper and must rebut a rival publication’s op-ed piece.

…the student must determine the velocity of a ball falling through the air considering only gravity and air resistance.

Along the way you provide or let the students discover the information they need to successfully complete the activity.

Page 15: Action mapping

Always tie acquisition of knowledge to completion of an activity. For example…

Page 16: Action mapping

…what are the major feminist critical theories ?

…which templates from They Say, I Say are useful for introducing the rebuttal to an argument?

…what is Euler’s method? What are the constants for air velocity and gravity?

Page 17: Action mapping

The result is real learning and empowered students
