PEDU 9206: Classroom Curriculum Resources

This course, designed to help educators enhance their curriculum with extra materials and activities, provides the opportunity to transform personal travel experiences into a backlog of original resources while earning graduate-level professional development credit for their efforts. Use information gained from travel experiences to create activities that will afford authentic learning experiences for your students and use materials you gather as you travel to give students relatable hands-on experiences. Keep a journal as you travel detailing your insights around the academic points of interest. Then, as you consider your curriculum goals and objectives and reflect on your travel experiences, seek correlations you can build on to create activities or projects that will reinforce student learnings. Once you have developed a backlog of resources, implement them in your classroom and submit a slide presentation, your travel journal, and a write-up to the University of the Pacific for evaluation.
