What is the difference between the DLE2 (or DL) Model, 7-Step Model, Embodied Theory and Higher-Level Literacy Skills?
The Designing Learning model has two components. First, it utilizes an Embodied Theory (aka the 7-step model) for curriculum planning and delivery. Second it promotes higher-level thinking and conceptual understanding by explicitly using Higher-Level Literacy Skills (HLS) to actively promote the teaching for transfer. By focusing on the five HLS–critical thinking, problem solving, mathematical reasoning, inference making and visualization/modeling–more learners will move away from gaining mere “inert” knowledge to use their learning and understanding from one subject and apply it in other subject areas and real-life situations. These two components together will help us explicitly focus on both equity and excellence at Overland to close the achievement gap (equity) and raise the academic achievement of all students (excellence).
