K-L-D Chart
K-L-D is a graphic organizer that will help personalize your learning, facilitate taking notes, expand best practices, and organize data for your culminating activity.
K-L-D is an adaptation of the K-W-L graphic organizer (What I KNOW, What I WANT to know, What I LEARNED), commonly used to help students organize their learning.
The first section of the K-L-D is KNOW - "What do I currently know about this topic prior to the start of each unit?" Activating prior knowledge provides a context for further learning. This prior knowledge may come from college courses, professional reading, professional learning sessions, or classroom experience.
The center section of the K-L-D is LEARN - "What have I learned from multimedia segments, from reading the articles, and from completing the other course activities?" This section may be completed while reading the text sections or after completing them.
The third section of the K-L-D is DO - "What will I do (differently, better, more systematically) in my building, now that I have experienced this learning?" Think about your current practices and reflect on how they may be changed or revised based on data collection and interpretation, course content knowledge, and research-based practices that were present in this course.
Throughout the course you will be prompted to fill out portions of the K-L-D charts. Look for the check icon for instructions.
