POP Activities

• Activities are targeted, purposeful teaching and learning moments.
• Activities usually lead into or are timely to where students are in an exploration process or in a project.
• Activities can be completed in a short period of time
• Activities should not stand alone, in that the activity completed should be put into context of student work
• Activities target specific key features, program content
• Activities target one phase predominantly of the learning and evaluation process but may touch on other phases
• Activities are context independent, context is provided by student explorations and/or projects
• Activities often leave traces of learning, or student work, which facilitates the evaluation process
• Activities build competency
• To ensure a balanced competency approach in the classroom, activities are developed for each of the phases of KPOP ¹.

^{1 KPOP is an acronym and in no way replaces the language used in the POP program. For instance, On-task is referred to as exploring and experimenting; Ponder is referred to as reflection in the program. The KPOP acronym is meant to facilitate the recall of such program terms, and not replace them.}
