This was required reading for my M.A. in Jewish Education, but the UbD framework applies to all educational contexts. UbD is one of the most effective curricular design process I have studied, and I currently hold 3 master's degrees in education. UbD, as its name implies, seeks to design lesson plans such that student understanding will result. In a process also called "backward design," teachers start with the things they want their students to learn (standards), unpack lesson specific benchmarks, and then build course activities around those. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today s high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K 16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, Understanding by Design, 2nd edition, offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.

Furthermore, this, I think, is simply the best guide to and for curriculum planning in print. If you want students to understand something in all its complexity as well as its connection and application to material in other domains, rather than just know something as a fact to be recalled for a test, then this is the place to start your planning agenda. That said, I particularly recommend the final chapter of the second edition, in which Messrs. Wiggins and McTighe allay anxieties about backwards design and standardized tests. In my not particularly humble opinion, this is the method of planning that should drive pedagogy in all K-12 classrooms in this country.
