280: A Realistic Approach to Differentiation
In Part 4 of our Back to Basics series on unit planning, we're taking our sample unit and building in more differentiation. I'm putting out this series as an introduction to my new online course, Mastering the Lesson Plan. These four episodes will give you the big picture, but the course takes a much deeper dive into each step of the process and gives you practical tools you can use to plan stronger instruction. To learn more about the course, visit cultofpedagogy.com/teaching101. ___________________________ Thanks to Brilliant and Notability for sponsoring the episode.

277: How to Plan a Unit of Instruction
I'm kicking off a four-episode Back to Basics series that will offer a practical overview of how to effectivley plan a unit of instruction. This week we'll start with the big picture, an overview of the process I use for planning a unit, starting with setting measurable objectives and getting a sense for how you will assess them at the end of the unit. In the next episode, we'll zoom in on that process of designing the assessment plan. I'm putting out this series as an introduction to my new online course, Mastering the Lesson Plan.
