Backwards Design Curriculum Development
Backwards Design Curriculum Development
Understanding by Design (UbD) is a curriculum approach that is driven by the “essential questions” at the heart of each discipline. UbD starts with learning outcomes (what students should know and be able to do) and structures the course towards those goals. Student learning is reflected in assessments that indicate student ability to transfer learning to new and authentic tasks.
