Learning Activities

Learning Activities are the core instructional experiences through which students acquire the knowledge and skills identified in a lesson’s Learning Goals. While these activities may take many forms—such as reading, conducting experiments, participating in discussions, or exploring digital tools — their design must be intentional. Effective Learning Activities are not chosen at random; they are aligned with the Learning Goal and structured to promote motivation, engagement, and long-term retention.



This learning experience equips educators with the tools to plan Learning Activities that are purposeful, engaging, and appropriately rigorous. You will explore how motivation, mental engagement, and active learning strategies work together to support students in achieving learning outcomes. By chunking content, using distributed summarizing, and applying a range of engagement strategies—including movement, discussion, writing, and questioning—teachers will design lessons that move students from surface understanding to deep learning.
