1. The importance of backwards learning or starting with the goal in mind
2. I'll be working with Ivan on grade 7 module 1: Identity in the Middle Ages

The big idea that I’m leaving with about the UbD framework is that backwards planning is a self-questioning process for teachers about what students should know by the end of the unit, how they will be assessed, and instructional methods. I’ll be working with unit 3 (module 3) of the 8th grade curriculum.

One key idea is that SO MUCH of UbD requires backwards design. Knowing what is expected of students in order to design their instruction in a way that facilitates greater and more authentic understanding is something that I am certainly walking away with. Myself and Danielle will be working on analyzing the To Kill A Mockingbird unit.

One think that I took away from the UBD reading was that goal setting is almost as important as goal sharing. Students should be aware of the goals of a lesson/unit. I think my host classroom struggles with this.

I plan to analyze a unit plan with Alex. We have yet to decide on the unit (preliminary choice is The Crucible)

1. The importance of the application of understanding within varied contexts as an assessment tool. ie learning within 1 context, but demonstrating understanding by applying it to another context.

2. Grade 12, Q2: The Handmaid’s Tale

# data[].attributes.body
1. Understanding is aiming to teach essential knowledge and skills.
2. 6th Module 2, I'm eorking with Tre.

One key idea I am taking with me about UbD is that we need to understand the goal, the assessment to see that goal, and then the activitities to get there.

The Unit I plan on using is Wit & Wisdom Module 3 for 7th graders and so far, I am working by myself.

1.Plan backwards with learning objectives in mind
2. English 3 Unit 1, the Crucible

# data[].attributes.body
1) Following UbD framework, students should be able to respond to open-ended, essential questions and not just facts. They should be taught how to think and not what to think.

2.) I’m probably going to work on Module 2 of Wit and Wisdom for 8th graders about All Quiet on the Western Front. I don’t think I’m working with anyone.

1. One key idea about UbD that I am leaving with is that planning precedes teaching. Learning is not by luck and requires understanding by design.

2. I plan to analyze weeks 5-10 of Persepolis.

# data[].attributes.body
1. DON’T TEACH TO THE TEST!
2. My unit is English II Unit 1 - Like Water for Chocolate.

# data[].attributes.body
One key idea I am leaving with about UBD is that assessments should be authentic -- ideally testing students' ability to transfer knowledge to new context. I am planning on doing Amplify Unit 8B: Liberty & Equality, working by myself.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Build plans backwards, starting first with the outcome you’d like students to reach and then planning from there.
2. Unit 3: To Kill A Mockingbird with Joao

# data[].attributes.body
UbD unpacks and transforms content standards and mission-related goals into relevant Stage 1 elements and appropriate assessments in stage 2.
I'm working with Sean

# data[].attributes.body
I’m taking away the true definition of understanding from the UBD framework- that understanding is not regurgitation, and Kyre and I are working on module 2 together

# data[].attributes.body
1. It is important to think about the big picture to set long-term goals and the pathway and short-term goals that will help us get there
2. 7th grade, Unit 7.1 with Cara!

# data[].attributes.body
1. Starting with that end destination, and working to get there.
2. Module 4, Grade 7, by myself

# data[].attributes.body
1. One key idea I’ll be leaving with UBd I’d the understanding of the true concept of what it means to assess understanding.
2. I plan to analyze Unit 3 of AP Language alone.
