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?
