CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT, ENDURING EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS, ALTMETRICS AND DIGITAL MEDIA

List any and all curriculum development involving courses, seminars, laboratories, curriculum guides, assessment activities for student learning, service learning materials, rubrics, etc. within the Curriculum Information Grid (*). For materials that are different from traditionally published work, such as printed or recorded materials, or computer-presented activity that may be used over time, this data is to be placed within the Enduring Educational Materials, Altmetrics, and Digital Media table (*).

In scholarly and scientific publishing, altmetrics are non-traditional metrics meant to complement more traditional citation metrics, tracking the attention and visibility of the posts. Social media metrics may include: blog posts, tweets, likes, and shares (via Blog, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, or other social media sites) that reference the scholarship research.

Choose one curriculum within the Curriculum Information Grid (*) as an example of your best effort, and describe this one using the GNOME framework within the GNOME Information Grid. Add additional narrative details or comments if you wish.

• Goals and Objectives: The goals are appropriate in scope, objectives are specific and measurable.

• Needs assessment of learners: Curricular design uses learner needs assessment to choose and refine goals and objectives and instructional methods, uses learner assessment data to refine needs assessment.

• Teaching/Learning Methods: Curricular design includes a variety of methods that address educational goals, are aligned with objectives and meets the needs of diverse learners in specific educational settings.

• Learner Assessment and Feedback: Curricular design includes valid reliable feasible and appropriate learner assessment methods. Incorporates formative feedback in design.

• Curriculum/Program Evaluation: Curriculum is evaluated periodically using valid reliable, feasible and appropriate evaluation tools and modified based on the results of such evaluation.

SCHOLARLY APPROACH TO EDUCATION

**NOTE: Sections 7 & 8 on scholarly approach to education and products of educational scholarship are vitally important to promotion as an educator. Although you have included relevant information about your scholarly work under each domain, these two sections allow you to highlight your scholarly approach and compile all products of educational scholarship, so they are easily accessible for peer review.**

A. Evidence of a Scholarly Approach to Education

• A scholarly approach to education is reflected by:

1. How one undertakes one’s own development as an educator;

2. Evidence of one’s consistent use of accepted principles and standards for planning and designing educational activities.

To complete this section for the first time, review your information above and consider the primary focus of your educational activities. This area can provide the centerpiece of Section 7. Focal activity that demonstrates a scholarly approach.

• Describe this activity in 1-2 pages, providing evidence of:

• Application of sound principles and systematic planning, such as Glassick’s criteria.

• Use of “best practices” or an accepted model from literature or recognized experts.

• Use of reflective practice to improve the project or activity.

B. Professional Development in Education

Professional development plays a vital part of improving technique and skills, expanding on formal education, and learning/practicing best practices. Use the Professional Development in Education Grid (*) to list any conferences, certification or degree programs, or other educational professional development activities that you have attended as a learner (not a teacher). Include ONLY those that have made a significant impact on your philosophy or practice as an educator.

(*) All table(s) are located within the primary portfolio Google doc.
