DESCRIPTION:
. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. From the Inside Flap What is understanding and how does it differ
With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks..

I had high hopes for this book, as the concept makes sense - start lesson planning from the destination and work backwards to build the lessons that will get your students where you want them to be. The book, however, isn't as simple as it sounds. It uses language that is much too lofty for an instructional text. To really understand backward design, it requires someone who is versed in this method to teach it as you read through the chapters to explain what it really means in practice.. "Five Stars" according to Amazon Customer. For anybody developing curriculum, this is the Go To manual for the beginnings of Course Construction.
