Inspire your students to think deeply, make long-lasting connections, and be self-directed learners. When teachers intentionally plan curricular lessons and units with the end in mind, student understanding transfers to new situations and the world around them. Building from Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe’s Understanding by Design approach to backwards planning, participants in this course will design a meaningful and aligned unit to implement in their own classroom. By engaging in peer reviews of unit development drafts and collegial discussion, participants will further deepen their own understanding of this design process. This course is suitable for teachers of any grade and content area.
