The learning design process in schools vary.
In some schools, educators are told what to do, and have very little ownership of the learning design.
In other schools, it's more of a "do what you can" process where many educators are designing learning alone or together in all sorts of ways with little organization or time.
Then there's possibly schools where there's plenty of time for educators work together with and without students to design optimal learning experiences. Of course, this is the ideal.
Our learning design profits from collaboration--a good idea has the potential to become better when there's a thoughtful process in place, time for meaningful collaboration, assessment, revision, and review.
Learning design is not a static process, instead it's an organic process that responds to the context, students, needs, interests, and passions in a learning environment.
What is your learning design process? What process does your learning/teaching organization embrace? How does your process positively affect student achievement, engagement, and empowerment?
These are important questions as we move schools forward to teach every child well.
