Since 1998, thousands of educators globally, have used the Under- standing by Design (UbD) Framework® to answer that question and create more rigorous and engaging curricula. Workshop participants will apply a set of practical and proven UbD 2.0 tools and templates to create or refine a unit of study. More specifically you will learn to: • Apply the 3-stage “backward design” model for the development of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. • Use essentials questions to frame curriculum and focus on “big ideas”. • Apply processes for “unpacking” standards to establish curriculum priorities and determine content worthy of deep understanding. • Explore six “facets” of understanding and their implications for curriculum, assessment, and teaching. • Apply selected design tools to create authentic performance tasks based on the six “facets”. • Access a large collection of UbD-supportive web based resources.
