Capstone Product

The document outlines a four-module learning journey that guides educators from understanding learner development to designing inclusive learning environments and synthesizing theory into practice. Module 0 functions as a preparation for the whole course. Module 1 explores developmental and cognitive foundations—such as nature versus nurture, identity formation, sociocultural influences, and learning theories like behaviorism, constructivism, and scaffolding—culminating in a teaching plan addressing a personal instructional challenge. Module 2 applies these insights to real contexts through units on learner differences, relationships and identities, and learning design, emphasizing motivation, SEL, UDL, assessment, and alignment. Module 3 integrates brain science and culture into a final synthesis. Across all modules, participants engage in online workshops and progressive assignments that build toward a comprehensive capstone proposal demonstrating learner-centered and evidence-based instructional design.
