- 7. Curriculum Designing versus Classroom Planning (and Classroom Management).
- 8. Understanding by Design Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe Stage One: Identify desired results •What overarching understandings are desired? •What are the overarching essential questions? •What will students understand as a result of this unit or lesson? •What essential and unit/lesson questions will focus this unit/lesson?
- 9. Understanding by Design Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe Stage Two: Determine acceptable evidence What evidence will show that students understand? • Performance tasks • Projects • Quizzes • Tests • Academic prompts • Other evidence…observations, work samples, dialogues • Student self-assessment
- 10. Understanding by Design Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe Stage Three: Plan learning experiences and instruction •What knowledge and skills are needed? •What teaching and learning experiences will equip students to demonstrate the targeted understandings? Now the activities can be developed!
- 11. Learning experiences and activities should evolve after identifying desired results and determining acceptable evidence.
- 12. Grant Wiggins is fond of quoting Mae West: Backward design takes time and should be planned for when time is available. Grant Wiggins says plan on one well-designed “gourmet” lesson per year when you start and seek the support of colleagues. “If it is worth doing, it is worth doing slowly.”
