Universal Access Concentrated Instructional Module (CIM)™ Template Information and template for all CIM™s.

Delivery Method: All CIM™s will be uploaded into TaskStream. content is designed for easy uploading. Please carefully note the Independent work and In-class activity time constraints.

As creators of the CIM™s, we will provide all instructional input materials as well as class activities, questions to assess comprehension, and Socratic style discussion questions. Acceptable responses to the comprehension questions will also be provided to the course instructors. Each CIM™ will consist of 3 separate mini-modules (for example, CIM™ #1A, CIM™ #1B, CIM™#1C). Independent work may require 60 minutes of at-home study. In-class work is targeted to require 30 minutes.

In order to honor the populations of students for whom these CIM™s are a focus and to purposefully improve the quality of instruction and learning opportunities our credential candidates receive, this curriculum cannot be seen as “add-on” or superfluous but a “worthy” and important part of the teacher preparation process. For this reason alone, candidates will be assessed on the material. You will receive a rubric to include with your materials.

In summary, your work consists of the following: __Session A__ 1) One powerpoint presentation (instructional input/content specific to CIM™) for at-home independent study 2) Two powerpoint comprehension check review questions to be asked in class. 3) Four Socratic discussion questions based on information from the powerpoint. The Socratic Seminars are meant to be small group discussions that will take place in class.

__Session B__ 1) Identify and provide an IRIS Module/Case Study or similar for at-home independent study 2) Approximately 8 instructional input questions with sample appropriate responses that the candidates will complete in writing (as out-of-class assignment) and submit to course instructor for assessment. [Recall that we do not need to have the responses for the June 15 due date] 3) Four Socratic discussion questions based on IRIS Module/Case Study

__Session C__ 1) Identify and provide an IRIS Module/Case Study or similar for at-home independent study 2) Approximately 8 instructional input questions with sample appropriate responses that the candidates will complete in writing (as out-of-class assignment) and submit to course instructor for assessment. [Recall that we do not need to have the responses for the June 15 due date] 3) Four Socratic discussion questions based on IRIS Module/Case Study
