Students succeed when educators start with the end goal in mind. This backward design approach allows educators to create deliberate and focused unit design choice, laying the foundation for Grant Wiggins’ and Jay McTighe’s internationally respected and widely applied Understanding by Design® curriculum-planning framework.
Designed for educators who are just beginning their study of backwards design, this Learning Path series, authored by Jay McTighe, will explore the concept of backward curriculum design, and teaching for understanding and transfer. This series includes access to all six Understanding by Design Learning Paths at a reduced rate.
