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.

As such, the SAS IB program is inclusive and is available to all students. There are no additional admission requirements to participate in the IB Diploma Programme. To participate, students must be in grade 11 or 12 and must have met specific course prerequisites or the equivalent. Students that have not met course prerequisites may petition for access via a course waiver process. IB LANGUAGE POLICY PHILOSOPHY At SAS, we honor and respect language as an inherent part of culture. We foster a multi-lingual learning environ- ment that provides an open window to cultural understandings. Through language learning, our students strive to make meaning in a global context and our host culture. Language is foundational to all learning. Therefore, we view teachers across all subject areas and contexts as teachers of language and parents as vital contributors to the language learning process. We recognize that ideal language learning is anchored in mastery of student’s mother tongue. SAS “is committed to supporting multilingualism as fundamental to increasing intercultural understanding and international-mindedness, and is equally committed to extending access to an IB education for students from a variety of cultural and linguistic backgrounds.” (International Baccalaureate Language Policy, 2014) LANGUAGE OF INSTRUCTION The primary language of instruction at Shanghai American School is in English.
