CURRICULUM DESIGN
|
My passion is designing curriculum. It's like creating a road map that comes to life in a room full of people. I can help you write the road map of YOUR lesson.
Designing curriculum is writing a story. It has a beginning, middle and end. It's going through an experience that makes total sense at the end. Designing Curriculum is taking the different ingredients, namely the overall message, the lesson, the goal, and the audience, and creating the specific journey your group will go on to get them to the end, which is the transformation. As your curriculum designer, I take 1. All the information that you have and 2. What you would like your group to feel and know at the end. Then I help you achieve it using big-picture view, humor, imagination, interactive learning, experimental learning and more. I use many creative tools in building and designing curriculum including games, metaphors, journaling, posters, art, magical realism, creativity, questions, videos, photos, music and more. I can create for you: A lesson plan A workshop An experience A ceremony, a class A seminar A retreat An event and more Your curriculum will be true to your goals and be a journey of originality, fun and exploration. |
"I had been stuck in my career for years. I had an idea of what I wanted to do and even how best to get it done but somehow taking the practical steps eluded me. I just couldn't move forward and I was miserable. After meeting with Maia Akiva all that changed and more! She took me through a creative exercise that allowed me to uncover what was keeping me stuck. It wasn't what I expected. From that point on I was able to make a shift that affected not only my career but every area of my life including my health. I suffered from high-blood pressure and was on medication. Not any more. I was depressed. Not any more. Working with Maia unleashed a truth that I was able to accept, adjust for and have since been more joyful than I can ever remember being. I wish this kind of peace, optimism, health and forward movement for everyone and as such I can't recommend Maia highly enough!" |
"I started working with Maia to get clarity about my career and what do I want to do next in my profession. Maia's coaching and guidance was everything I needed and more. Maia helped navigate through the vast information and decision making that was in front of me. She helped me get clear about what I want instead of what I should do and helped me navigate through my fears and lies to myself. And to find practical options for me to move forward in my career. I feel ready and willing for the next step of my professional life." |
"Oh my goodness, Maia, how can I say thank you enough? You're amazing! You got me to tap into some major uncharted territory and now I get to have a whole new experience with myself. By the way, the morning after working with you, I woke up and naturally felt like playing piano before heading out to work. That never happens!" "Maia gave me a lot to think about. I appreciate her attentiveness and focus and especially her commitment to supporting my own answers from within. I can take the information she gave me and use it to improve my work as well as nourish my inner critic. I recommend sessions with her to anyone that would like to shift from where they are to where they want to be." |
