Understanding by Design (UbD)
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
T-TESS, rigor, relevance, formative assessment, inquiry, lesson plans,
differentiation, implementation, proficient … do these words give you
nightmares?? Come to this workshop! We’ll spend the day learning how to
make our lives simpler by thinking backwards. Learn how to use the UbD
template; as well as practical terms; what teaching for understanding is all
about: digging deeper, continually asking the essential questions, and
rethinking.
“To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of
your destination. It means to know where you’re going so that you better
understand where you are now so that the steps you take are always in the
right direction.” - Stephen R. Covey, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People,
1989, page 98.
