They're wide enough to allow for some flexibility in achieving them, and they're doable given the time and resources available. The foundation of curriculum design and assessment are learning outcomes, which help students focus on what matters most. Learning outcomes can also be considered an inclusive teaching strategy since they can assist students in understanding what is expected of them. - Keithen Smith

It enables educators to design lessons and classes centered on student learning. Backward design, also known as an understanding by design, is a method of developing educational materials by first determining goals and then selecting teaching methods and evaluations. Backward is named because it begins with the end in mind and works backward from there. - Keithen Smith]]> 2022-03-25 16:49:42 UTC https://padlet.com/amaierhofer/z3xn8zzqprqas3x4/wish/2114152038 campbellke13 https://padlet.com/amaierhofer/z3xn8zzqprqas3x4/wish/2114210898 Here is my mind map for a unit on The Great Gatsby with a paired short story "The Golden Touch."]]> 2022-03-25 17:27:52 UTC https://padlet.com/amaierhofer/z3xn8zzqprqas3x4/wish/2114210898 lawsonkr3 https://padlet.com/amaierhofer/z3xn8zzqprqas3x4/wish/2114491809 This infographic shows the higher and lower learning levels.]]> 2022-03-25 22:09:27 UTC https://padlet.com/amaierhofer/z3xn8zzqprqas3x4/wish/2114491809 morrtm https://padlet.com/amaierhofer/z3xn8zzqprqas3x4/wish/2114495009 The Ohio department of education website is a complete and thorough reference for UBD.  It provides explanations, templates, graphics, design tools, discussions of standards, references for unit planning.
