What I knew: Start with the end in mind.

What I learned: How backwards design brings focus to what needs to be learned and objectives versus traditional way.

Wondering:

Set clear learning targets for students.  Start with the end goal that you want students to know beforehand.  Look at your assessments/create assessments first.

Question: Do we have Power School ?

Knew:  I knew that you had to look at the end result then begin to plan lessons.  Lessons should be engaging and purposeful.

What I knew: The traditional way of teaching DOES NOT GUARANTEE LEARNED, APPLICABLE knowledge.

What I learned: Backwards planning sounds amazing, almost like a magic pill. It is intentional teaching + intentional learning.

What I am wondering about: How does BACKWARDS PLANNING look like? Examples? Best strategies? How does this ensure learned skills?

Question: What is the research findings and data of the success of Backwards planning based on the book that was written in 1998?

# data[].attributes.body
Lessons should include clear measurable learning targets

Learned: No busy work or filler assignments during instructional time.

Question: How does this look with distance learning?

# data[].attributes.body
Knew: nothing
Learned: Don't use instructional time to do fillers/coloring/fun activities that you THINK are supporting the learning.
Question: How do you hold students accountable to do their part in the backward design model? How does this look for distance learning? What happens if students do NOT do their part and come to class with the work done?

# data[].attributes.body
Learned:
*Teach what your kids need, not what you want
*Kids should be engaged with learning, not just busy with content.
*Instructional teaching v. "activities"
Questions:
How large of a role does our curriculum play? Do we focus on using their assessments?

What I learned is the 3 step process to accomplish the backwards planning: 1- create and state objective of what students must be able to do by the end of the unit/ lessons.  2- create an assessment  3- create lessons that work towards assessment.

Question: Every time I hear assessments I always think of multiple choice questions or essay/short answer questions, so what are different types of assessments that can be used?
