Of all the material we have reviewed, we believe this method best serves our purposes for the thoughtful design of curriculum. Using a “reverse engineering” approach, we will explore the desired outcomes for your course, and then work backward to create a rich learning experience for your students. Along the way, we’ll talk about “understanding” - what it really means and how you’ll recognize when your students achieve it. Credits and Sources Our primary resource for this method is the 2nd edition of Understanding by Design, written by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe. We’ve provided a copy your packet of materi- als. A workbook is available by the same authors; from this workbook we’ve chosen a handful of worksheets that we fi nd particularly useful. We’ve secured reprint permission and included copies in your binder.
