Episode #47: Action Mapping

In Episode #47 of "Simon Says: Educate," host Ronald Lethcoe revisits the topic of course learning outcomes in preparation for the upcoming Outcomes and Assessment Day at Clover Park Technical College. Ronald introduces the concept of action mapping by Cathy Moore as an effective approach to curriculum design. He shares a personal anecdote about an unplanned hike to Mount Rainier with his mother, using it as a metaphor to highlight the importance of having a clear plan and destination in both hiking and education. By applying action mapping, he explains how starting with desired learner actions and working backward can enhance curriculum development. Ronald also provides a practical example from the cosmetology department to illustrate this process.
