In|Dignity LESSON PLANS

Unit Structure

​According to Dr. Aida Walqui, director at WestEd’s Teacher Professional Development Program and Quality Teaching for English Learners (QTEL), a well scaffolded lesson can be conceptualized in three moments. Within each moment, activities address the varying purposes in a lesson moment.[1]

Using this framework, the In|Dignity curriculum unit is designed to:
  • Prepare students for their experience (Moment 1)
  • Assists students as they interact with the narratives (Moment 2), and
  • Extend their understanding by applying newly gained knowledge and skills (Moment 3)
 
Tasks within the framework help students foster optimal learning during each lesson moment. Teachers are encouraged to spend a minimum of three class periods engaged with the In|Dignity curriculum.
