Write Up Appertaining To Books Understanding by Design

This book blew my mind with its ideas. It all seemed so obvious after reading. Some of it I actually had thought of already and it was really nice to have it confirmed.The book featured a fantastic explanation of how knowledge differs from understanding, and placed emphasis on planning around the the core big ideas/essential questions in curricula. This last was a conclusion I had come to earlier, but this book really helped with determining what big ideas and questions to consider, and how to

The book is rather helpful in terms of the pedagogy it presents. It's fairly simple (i.e., start with your desired outcomes/goals, and work "backward" from there in the formation of your curriculum). A teacher's content matters, and the "teaching" matters, but those two things mean nothing if students don't actually learn (i.e., learning > teaching).

UBD is an excellent book that evaluates curriculum writing and how to achieve true understanding, as opposed to knowledge or short term recall of facts.The book dives into better definitions of understanding, and then presents a solution to achieve it. By focusing on desired outcomes and questions, a person could work backwards and pursue great results. This would avoid the two biggest teaching mistakes, coverage and activity focused learning methods (used in extreme).This is geared for

This book is tough to get through but a must read for anybody who wants to be a leader of teachers. The concepts involved in backward design can be used for everything from unit planning to curriculum writing to professional development. Unfortunately not enough administrators have read this book. I absolutely loved it.
