Understanding By Design by Grant P. Wiggins
Professional Development Workbook
The book presents a framework for designing educational curricula by emphasizing the importance of starting with the end goals in mind. It introduces the concept of "backward design," where educators first identify desired learning outcomes and then work backward to develop instructional methods and assessments that align with those goals. The approach encourages a focus on developing students' deep understanding and ability to transfer knowledge, rather than merely covering content. By prioritizing clarity in learning objectives and aligning teaching strategies with assessment, the book aims to enhance the effectiveness of educational planning and improve student learning experiences.
