Curriculum Development

 

Want to turn your program into a hands-on program, a ‘maker’s space’, a memorable learning experience for staff and students but aren’t sure where to start? Have an idea or topic you’d like to explore with your students but don’t have time to develop it as deeply or fully as you’d like?

Spark Innovations staff have been designing creative, innovative, and effective learning materials for almost two decades. We have extensive experience developing high-quality lesson plans and other curriculum materials to help K-12 teachers, after-school programs, leadership institutes for teens, tutoring programs, migrant programs, and adult education programs enhance student learning, meet educational standards requirements, integrate technology, STEM, problem based learning, and more into the classroom, and foster critical thinking

Specific skills include (but aren't limited to): Differentiated instruction, multi-level classroom instruction, ELL instruction, blended learning, classroom and virtual learning, informal learning, professional development, educational standards (national, state, and Common Core), graphic organizers, scaffolding, learning objectives, Bloom's taxonomy, rubrics and other assessments, literacy and literature integration, collaborative group learning, project-based learning, ‘maker’s spaces’,  backward planning/design, explanatory text, PowerPoint presentations, video guides, vocabulary lists, staff training, Internet resource lists, and image compilation.
