Effective Lecture Design Susan M. Stein, DHEd, MS, BS Pharm, RPh
Discussion: Buzz Group • Provide a brief description of a moment in teaching that things went so well, you felt you were born to teach. • Provide a moment in teaching when things went so poorly you wished you’d never been born • In groups of 3-4, discuss the positive experience and identify strengths
Objectives • Develop effective outcomes and competencies using SMART • Create two competencies specific to each outcome • Describe backward course design • Develop rubric to measure a competency or outcome • Create one assessment of an objective • Apply the Lecture Design Map to a topic
The Syllabus: The Holy Grail • Legal document or agreement with students? • Set a format for yourself if none exists for program and stay with it (table format) • Course outcomes/goals/competencies • Schedules: Lectures, discussions and topic organization, activities, assignments, assessment • Requirements, policies: never assume
Material Organization • Philosophy: learner-centered? Activity emphasis? Flow of material? • Resources: Stanford Center for Teaching and Learning http://ctl.stanford.edu/teaching/faculty-resources.html Carleton College On the Cutting Edge http://serc.carleton.edu/NAGTWorkshops/index.html Lecture/Course Design Table
Outcomes, Objectives, Competencies • Outcomes or Goals: groups of objectives create measurable outcomes • Objectives: final expectations of fact • Competencies: application of outcomes or objectives at appropriate level Diamond, R.M.

Activity: Objective Review Using your syllabus/lecture, review the objectives you have created and complete the following: • Create two new competencies for your course/lecture • Switch with the person next to you, assess and write them on a blank sheet of paper to share with class
Backward Design Resources • http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/planning-a-class-with-backward-design/33625
Systems Approach • What is the aim of the class? • Holistic perspective: what are the elements of the class? • How are the elements connected and how do they interact? • Input Process Output (Feedback) Sylvia LM, Barr JT.

Activity: Horseshoe:Assessment Assessment Discuss the following questions in groups of 4-10 in a horseshoe shaped group: • What type of assessment tools do you use? • How often do you assess formatively? • How often do you assess summatively? • How is it incorporated into measure of learning and understanding?

Activity: Pair Partners Using the Lecture Design Table as a guide, complete the following: • Design two activities for a competency in your lecture • Write two assessment questions to directly address this competency • Switch with the person next to you, assess and share
Ideas: Team Teach Format • Is this for you and your subject matter? • Professors Preach 10 Commandments of Team Teaching http://news.stanford.edu/news/2006/march15/team-031506.html
