How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAuthors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding by Design\u003c\/i\u003e. 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. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of \u003ci\u003ebackward design\u003c\/i\u003e and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as \u003ci\u003eessential questions\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003etransfer tasks\u003c\/i\u003e. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the \u003ci\u003esix facets of understanding\u003c\/i\u003e can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of \u003ci\u003eUnderstanding by Design\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ASCD\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781416600350\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 370\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.65lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.50w x 0.90d","brand":"Grant Wiggins, Jay McTighe","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36649889628316,"sku":"9781416600350","price":39.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_61916572-d498-4723-ab48-6944cf566f64.jpg?v=1603873961","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/understanding-by-design-expanded-2nd-edition-9781416600350","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
