Description
This session focuses on developing lessons for the purposeful teaching of wisdom using the planning processes of Understanding by Design. Robert Sternberg believes that "wisdom is a largely neglected form of giftedness" and it can be taught in the context of any subject matter. Wisdom, as defined by Sternberg, is explained and a written lesson presented along with video clips showing its actual implementation. As the lesson is explained, the session leaders demonstrate how to embed the teaching of wisdom into instructional units through UbD and use the video clips to illustrate each step.
