Millions of teachers worldwide use the Understanding by Design(R) (UbD) curriculum planning framework to create units of instruction that develop and deepen student learning. This quick reference guide from UbD co-creator Jay McTighe covers UbD's key tenets and three-stage backward design process and introduces the framework's design templates and quality standards. It also explains key vocabulary and explores essential aspects of unit construction, including - Focusing instruction and assessment on big ideas and essential questions;
- Creating authentic performance tasks that reveal evidence of understanding; and
- Designing meaningful learning events that help students acquire targeted knowledge and skills, understand important ideas, and be prepared to transfer those understandings to meet new challenges in and beyond the classroom.
