Confused by the ABA program outcomes? Wondering how your courses
fit into your school’s program outcomes and assessment plan? This workshop can
help. Whether your focus is social justice lawyering, skills, ethics, and/or
substantive knowledge, this workshop will help you design a course that turns
your teaching goals into learning outcomes and situate the course within your
school’s curriculum. Participants will read about and use backward design, an
approach to instructional design pioneered by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe, to
build a course of each participant’s choosing. By the end of the workshop,
participants will have identified the major goals of their courses, the final
assessment and rubric, and the learning outcomes for their students. They also
will receive feedback from colleagues and facilitators on their drafts.
