Understanding by Design A blueprint for learning
Understanding by Design is also known as Backwards Design, why?
The stages are logical but they go against traditional habits • Typically lesson and activity ideas are created before clarifying our performance goals for students • By thinking through the big ideas and assessments upfront, we ensure greater alignment of our goals and means, and that teaching is focused on desired results…learning. • Plan activities last, not first.
Understanding By Design – 3 Stages 1-Identify desired results

Standard(s): Understandings Essential Questions s t a g e 1 Assessment Evidence Performance T ask(s): Other Evidence: s t a g e 2 Learning Activities s t a g e 3 The “big ideas” of each stage: What are the big ideas? What’s the evidence? How will we get there?
1. Identify Desired Results: What are the outcomes of your course? Upon completing your course, what should students know, understand, and be able to do? 2. Determine Acceptable Evidence: How will you know if your students have achieved the desired outcomes? What will you accept as evidence of proficiency? 3. Plan Learning Experiences: With the identified results and evidence of understanding/proficiency in mind, what sequence of activities best suits the desired results? How can you make learning both engaging and effective given the goals and needed evidence?
