  2. Map out a success path or journey: Identify the key stages or phases the learners will go through, with associated characteristics, milestones, and outcomes. This provides a clear roadmap for their progress.
  3. Incorporate principles of game design, such as challenges, breakthroughs, and incremental goals, to create a sense of motivation and progress.
  4. Use a "guide on the side" approach rather than a "sage on the stage" to promote active engagement and Socratic learning.
  5. Align program, course, and assignment-level outcomes to ensure a cohesive and purposeful learning journey. 
  6. Leverage Bloom's Taxonomy to design learning outcomes that build from knowledge to higher-order thinking skills.
  7. Create a success path or journey map that outlines the stages of the learner's progression, with associated characteristics and milestones.
  8. Create a curriculum planning matrix: Map course-level outcomes to specific lessons, activities, and assessments to ensure alignment and cohesion.
  9. Use the right verbs to describe what learners will be able to do at each stage, focusing on action-oriented outcomes.
  10. Provide opportunities for learners to apply their knowledge through hands-on activities and projects.
  11. The key is to design the learning experience with the learner's perspective in mind, focusing on what they can achieve and how they can progress, rather than just what you want to teach.
  12. Utilize AI-powered ideation: Record audio reflections on the content and use tools like Otter AI to generate lesson ideas, scripts, and other resources from your own thoughts.
  13. Continuously refine and iterate: Review the curriculum plan regularly, gathering feedback and making adjustments to optimize the learning experience.
  14. By following this holistic, learner-centered approach, you can create a curriculum plan that is engaging, motivational, and effective in helping students achieve their goals.

    • Josh Lomelino concludes by emphasizing the importance of a streamlined, effective curriculum that removes confusion and frustration.
    • The process results in a targeted curriculum that helps students achieve results fast and directly.
    • He reiterates the importance of using the hierarchy of learning and Bloom's Taxonomy as a blueprint for course design.
    • The final outcome is a well-structured curriculum that aligns with learning outcomes and ensures students can achieve the desired skills and knowledge.

How can we leverage the hierarchy of learning and Bloom's Taxonomy to create a structured and engaging curriculum?

 

To leverage the hierarchy of learning and Bloom's Taxonomy to create a structured and engaging curriculum, here are the key steps:

1. Start with the desired course-level outcomes. Identify 3-6 key things you want students to be able to do by the end of the course. Use verbs from the higher levels of Bloom's Taxonomy like "evaluate", "create", "analyze".

2. Break down those high-level outcomes into more granular weekly or module-level objectives. For each week/module, determine what students should be able to do, using verbs that align with the appropriate level of Bloom's Taxonomy (e.g. "identify", "explain", "apply").

3. Map your teaching topics and activities to directly support the learning objectives. Ensure there is a clear connection between what you're teaching and the skills/knowledge students need to demonstrate.

4. Design assessments that allow students to show their mastery of the objectives, progressing from lower-level recall to higher-order application and evaluation.

5. Structure the learning experience to gradually build students' competency. Start with foundational knowledge and comprehension, then provide opportunities to apply, analyze, and ultimately evaluate and create.

6. Incorporate active learning techniques that engage students and get them practicing the desired skills, not just passively consuming information.

By aligning your curriculum design to the hierarchy of learning and Bloom's Taxonomy, you can create a purposeful, scaffolded learning experience that moves students towards the targeted outcomes in an engaging way. The key is maintaining that clear line of sight from your high-level goals down to the weekly activities.
