Discipline/Department: Education
Signature Pedagogy: Communicating ideas, Presenting, Collaborating, Cognitive Development. Lesson Planning, Curriculum Mapping
Lesson Plan Name: Create Your Personal Teaching Philosophy
Students: Undergrad/Grad
Learning Environment: F2F/Online/Hybrid/Remote
Lesson Plan Description: Using the various resources, presentations, links, papers and videos shared in class by the professor and peers, device your personal teaching philosophy. The goal is to understand the different teaching and learning philosophies and visualize yourself rooted in a philosophy while performing as a teacher in the classroom. This assignment is a "keeper". Feel free to add the final version to your e-portfolio.
Broad Learning Outcome: After completing the lesson, students should be able to analyze the different learning and teaching philosophies and identify three philosophies for their personal teaching philosophy statement. Students demonstrate their analysis and connect with their reflections on their past teaching experiences to create a final statement.
Refined Learning Outcomes using Bloom's Taxonomy:
1. Applying, Understanding, Remembering: Entry and Adoption levels of technology integration
2. Evaluating and Analyzing: Adaptation and Infusion levels of technology integration
3. Creating: Transformation level of technology integration
Content Sharing Strategies: Faculty shares content in the form of Power Points, PDF's, links to various websites, videos etc. Handouts are also distributed in class for interactive exercises.Class Agenda is written out on the whiteboard.
NOTE: The following strategies are already being implemented in the F2F, traditional Carthage College classroom setting. You will find yourself relating to these strategies. The challenge is to re-create these activities with the aid of learning technologies like the Carthage Learning Manegement System (LMS), the edTech tools integrated in the LMS, The Carthage-wide teaching technology-subscriptions available to faculty, as well the G-Suite Applications, Virtual Meeting technologies, and other free-ware and external learning resources.

2. Collaborative Learning and Teaching Strategies:
3. Constructive Learning and Teaching Strategies:
4. Authentic Engagement Strategies:
5. Goal-Directed Learning and Teaching Strategies:
In the next section we will apply these TIM strategies using technology integration. Please refer to the TIM Table, the TIM and Bloom Table as well as the Pedagogy Hexagon before you go through each section.

Using the social media features of the LMS and other external tools like Instagram, Slack, Twitter, LinkedIn etc, faculty demonstrates how to consume their content shared in these applications, collaboratively as a class.
Faculty demonstrates the use of Google Extensions in improving learning and assignment productivity.
Students produce assignments through active collaboration, regardless of time (promoting outside the class learning) and produce superior assignments and assessments that are enjoyable to grade.
COLLABORATIVE/ENTRY: Individual student use of technology tools
Learning Outcomes: Applying, Understanding, Remembering
Technology Integration : Entry
Teaching and Learning Activities (LMS and ed tech tools are in bold)
COLLABORATIVE ADOPTION: Collaborative use of tools in conventional ways: LMS Discussion Boards, Polling and Announcements are used for collaboration, but few students participate actively.

NOTE: Students are involved in developing class collaboration rules using collaborative document sharing tools like Google Docs.
Faculty has their YouTube Channel and requests students to comment on the lectures using the chat area below the videos.
The LMS Media Gallery is used to create a collage where students share their pictures when demonstrating their preferred teaching philosophy.
COLLABORATIVE INFUSION: Choice of tools and regular use for collaboration. Learning is documented on the LMS.
