EDU 276 - Literacy & Technology: Lesson Planning Resources

Online Resources

Backward Design

When planning your lessons, start with the end (the results, the learning outcomes) and work backward to plan what activities, lectures, discussions, and other learning experiences need to be included to support student achievement.

  1. Identify desired results: What will students learn?
  2. Determine acceptable evidence: What will success look like?
  3. Plan learning experiences and instruction: What will students do?

Writing Learning Outcomes

Good learning outcomes:

  • Are measurable
  • Are clear to the student, faculty, and librarian
  • Are transferable (can be applied to other learning contexts)
  • Match to the level (course, 50-minute session, program)
  • Use a variety of levels of Bloom’s Revised Taxonomy
  • For information literacy skills, consider the ACRL Framework
