This webinar is being offered as two 2 ½ hour mini-sessions in place of a full day webinar.
The Understanding by Design (UbDTM) framework offers a planning process and structure to help guide curriculum, assessment, and instruction. This workshop will focus on the two key items embedded within the UbD title: focusing on teaching and assessing for learning and designing the curriculum “backwards” to help leverage our curriculum for the highest impact.
Session 1: We will begin our UbD journey by looking at a brief history of UbD, the seven key tenets of UbD, analyzing the benefits of Using Backward Design, and implementing the process.
Session 2: During session 2, we will take a deeper look into the three stages of backward design while looking at a Backward Design template and go over some FAQs of UbD.
Target Audience: Curriculum Directors, Administrators, Instructional Coaches, content teachers looking to increase student engagement in their classrooms.
Materials Needed/Interactive Level: Participants will have the opportunity to engage in the UbD design as they redesign/design a curriculum using the process covered during the workshop.
