Educators are always on the lookout for methods to upgrade curriculum, instruction, and assessment practices so their students experience meaningful and purposeful units of study. Janet Hale, author of: Upgrade Your Curriculum - Practical Ways to Transform Units and Engage Students (ASCD), will guide you through using a GLOCAL lens (students take action locally that has a positive impact globally) to upgrade your units. During this session you will apply the Transformational Matrix and three lenses (Entry Points, 21st Century Clarifications, and Technology Authenticity) to aid your upgrading process, with a strong emphasis on adding glocal perspectives to your students' learning.
