Assessment: Layered Curriculum

From KNILT

Navigate to: Implementation of Layered Curriculum | Lesson 3: What goes in to a layer?

As your final assessment, create a unit that utilizes Layered Curriculum as the primary instructional methodology.

For an extensive collection of units that have already been created refer to this website. This should serve as a guide for you to get an idea of how to lay out your work sheet for your unit.

Additionally, I have uploaded one of my own two week units to show how I have approached instruction through Layered Curriculum. To view this file click on this link File:Layered Curriculum Unit.pdf.

There are a large variety of ways to set up the curriculum, but there are a few key features of each.

  • Distinct C, B, and A layers.
  • Three times as many points available in each layer.
  • A point system for each layer.

Some other points to consider include:

  • A guide for students to follow when planning their time.
  • Splitting the C layer into Left Side of the brain and Right side of the brain sections, with requirements for each side.
  • Opportunities for group collaboration as well as individual work.
