Layers of Content-Rich 21^st CCLC Programming

Learning should be purposeful, intentional and driven by the needs and interests of the students. A content rich program supports "mastery, identity (students identify themselves as participants and contributors), and creativity" by creating a programming environment that encourages students to think in deeper and more inventive ways.

Elements of a content rich program design review process:

• Content

  Overall, does the program/activity provide students the chance to develop mastery and support intended outcomes and selected content area?

• Relevance

  Overall, does the program/activity engage students in relevant content, allowing them to engage in authentic problems and/or share their personal voice?

• Practice

  Overall, does the program/activity provide students meaningful practice opportunities that connect to intended outcomes?

• Performance

  What are the skills that students will develop and how will you know?
