HGSE Curriculum Update:
Academic Year 2020-21
June 2020
Our Curriculum Design Process Is Anchored in Our Mission To prepare leaders in education and generate knowledge to improve student opportunity, achievement, and success.
HGSE: A Learning Organization Like any strong learning organization, as we approach a next chapter in our history and our next set of goals and commitments, we are engaged in a strategic design and development process. Creating high-quality, engaging, and meaningful experiences for students is our priority.
Our Goals and Aspirations for the Student Experience Leveraging our mission, what we know about cultivating strong learning and community-building opportunities, and our commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

Designing High-Quality Online Learning: Key Considerations Architecture Enhanced design work in the domains of learning goals and outcomes; aligning content and assessment against outcomes; segmentation into more modularized units—across sessions, within and across weeks. Pedagogy Need for varied formats, types of task for synchronous and asynchronous sessions; greater opportunities for rich, active processing; enhanced self-reflection and self-monitoring; especially focusing on community-building and connections in courses, both during live class sessions, sections, and group meetings and in asynchronous, flexible learning that complements live instruction. Interactions (Instructor-Student; Peer-Peer) Building community and developing norms and practices for engagement demands more up-front design work and ongoing attention; planning communication routines and interactions that differ from those on the physical campus; online space is more complex for instructors and peers to enter and participate in a shared conversation than in the physical classroom. Personalization & Assessment Providing opportunities for choice in projects and assignments; enhancing authentic connections to communities, organizations, and practitioners; enhanced learner control over pace and timing; flexibility generally in meaningful, motivating, professionally relevant assignments and assessments.
