Key Points ::
Multiple layers of
activities allow for
quick modification of
lessons
Layers ensure that all
students are engaged –
with or without laptop
Students become more responsible
for their own work
Students are required to open
their work for grading and
have it minimized on their
laptop so that Carolyn can
quickly provide feed back the
second she visits each student
Based on current brain-imaging
information, Layered CurriculumTM
is an exciting and effective
student-centered teaching method. The 3
layer model encourages complex thinking
and holds students highly accountable
for their learning. Layered Curriculum
is Help4Teachers.
