Moving forward with understanding by design
Description
Now that thousands of educators use ASCD's Understanding by Design® (UbD) framework to create results-oriented curricula, here's your opportunity to see examples of best practice in implementing this breakthrough approach. Use the DVD in workshops, team meetings, and professional development events to take audiences to the frontlines of schools that are implementing UbD system-wide. Throughout the program, UbD experts Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe and practitioners describe the critical elements of getting started and succeeding with UbD. Interviews with educators who have implemented UbD district- and statewide illuminate keys to success, including How to introduce UbD through professional development workshops where teachers work together on applying UbD templates and planning tools to an existing lesson. How to lead school teams in using backward design and essential questions in framing curriculum and assessment. What to expect to see in classrooms where teachers are beginning to implement UbD and in classrooms where teachers have used UbD strategies for many years. How to support teachers as they practice the seven design principles of effective learning experiences, known as W.H.E.R.E.T.O. Classroom scenes and practitioner interviews flesh out concepts that are vital to your UbD effort, such as Steps for starting teachers on the backward design process so they understand how to apply it to units. Key decisions teachers make at each stage of the W.H.E.R.E.T.O. model of learning design. Show teachers and administrators what UbD-driven instructional practice looks like in the classroom, and introduce your staff members to the stages and structures involved in a systemic adoption of UbD.
