If so, in what ways? gail_dececco1 https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160865492 2017-03-17 17:59:23 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160865492 Do you use your UbD template to populate your board configuration? gail_dececco1 https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160865816 2017-03-17 18:00:24 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160865816 If you could add or delete something to/from the UbD, what would that be? gail_dececco1 https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160866488 2017-03-17 18:02:44 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160866488 Does the UbD template help you envision your unit, providing the road map of understandings? gail_dececco1 https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160866793 2017-03-17 18:03:49 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160866793 I have experienced the UbD as positive from the perspective of looking at a full week with brief notes on each day. On the other hand, I don't feel that it facilitates co-planning because I have trouble writing concise notes that are easy for someone else to grasp quickly. I seem to be the only one who can grasp my own notes. https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160868827

As a person who supports teaching and learning in the classroom, it affords me the opportunity to be a participant in the process and offer modifications and accommodations for all learners that might be beneficial in the planning process. https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160870839 2017-03-17 18:19:22 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160870839 Good Italian food for thought... https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160870871 The UbD is a useful template for my colleague and I to come up with some different ideas on teaching similar material. It does seem to take a long time to put one together because the language seems like it needs to be extra specific and detailed. ]]> 2017-03-17 18:19:28 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160870871 This tool does facilitate co-planning in a positive way. We have had the opportunity to share ideas and lessons to promote engagement and critical thinking from the students https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160871093 2017-03-17 18:20:14 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160871093 I find the UBD template helpful for thinking through the unit at multiple levels, and especially for narrowing the focus. Sometimes I find myself being repetitive in the Stage 2 boxes -- maybe I'm misunderstanding the differences between them? https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160871125 2017-03-17 18:20:21 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160871125 planning tool https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160871309 1) I do think it is a necessary piece in the puzzle of how to improve practice. 2) I do think it is a way to foster same grade conversation. 3) I think it was useful to look at a strong unit and to talk about what was right about it. 4) I am not sure it is the most "high leverage" PD strategy... however, it is certainly a reasonable focus and, one might argue, it is a necessary initial step. ]]> 2017-03-17 18:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160871309 The UBD works well as textual evidence to others that one knows what one is doing, but personally I only complete them because they are required. https://padlet.com/gail_dececco1/tx9rl8lu5v45/wish/160871716

In Stage 1 for example:
"Students will be able to independently use their learning to..."

"Students will understand that..."

"Students will know"

"Students will be skilled at..."


I get bogged down in differentiating between these 4 prompts and as a result I feel like the process becomes a bit of a time suck.
