The Lesson Design Canvas is a classroom action research worksheet for teachers, facilitating the design of classroom experiments. It encourages teachers to identify a learning need (1), propose an intervention (2), define desired academic outcomes (3), and determine the skills and behaviors to nurture (4). The canvas incorporates a selection of common learning difficulties, toolkits for intervention, academic outcomes, and wider educational progress expectations based on the skills framework.
This practical tool allows teachers to use structural learning tools and frameworks to address specific learning needs, predict improvements, and nurture broader educational development, thereby promoting classroom-based research and experimentation.
