Great Minds
Creator of Eureka Math, Wit & Wisdom, and PhD Science curricula and Geodes books for emerging readers.
This month we’re focusing on the Great Minds? Launch, Learn, Land curricula structure. This lesson structure serves an important role in?creating?the?cognitive conditions?that are?optimal for student learning by attending to?students’?cognitive load and including instructional practices that research shows best support long-term retention of information.
Read the article Setting Students Up For Success: How Lesson Design Supports Students to learn more about our Launch, Learn, Land lesson structure.
Lessons begin with?the Launch portion, which introduces the topic and activates prior knowledge. Then, the Learn portion engages students in accessing new knowledge, building on previous knowledge, and sharing what they have learned. In the Land portion, students reflect on their learning and how their new knowledge fits into the larger context of the topic or module and real-life application.?
