  1. Understanding by Design (UbD) By: Daniella Ooi (7), Ong Pei Qi (29), Tan Kylie (35), Lycia Yam (40) & Evania Yam (41)

  2. What is UbD? • A framework for designing curriculum units, performance assessments and instruction • Expands on "six facets of understanding"

  3. What do you usually do when you first plan your lessons?

  4. Backward Design It consists of 3 steps: • Identify Desired Results • Determine Acceptable Evidence • Plan Learning Experiences and Instructions

  5. Step 1: Identify Desired Results • Ask, “What should students know, understand and be able to do?”,“What content is worthy of understanding?” • Examine goals, established content standards • Review curriculum expectations • Prioritize what we want to accomplish

  6. Step 2: Determine Acceptable Evidence • Ask, “How will we know that the children have achieved the desired results?”, “What kind of concrete evidence will we accept as a way to determine that the children have truly understood?” • The backward design wants us to think of what sort of assessment evidence we need to collect in order to prove that children have learned and met the goals determined in the first step.

  7. Step 3: Plan Learning Experiences & Instructions • Ask, "What enabling knowledge and skills will children need to perform effectively and accomplish desired results?", "What kind of activities will equip children with the necessary knowledge and skills?", "What resources and materials can we provide for the children to achieve the goals?" • Specific and detailed teaching/instructional planning can only be created once we have identified goals and types of assessments.

  8. SixFacets of Understanding • Explanation • Interpretation • Application • Perspective • Empathy • Self-knowledge

  9. Common Mistakes aka "Twin Sins" • Activity-Oriented: Hands-on, not minds-on • Coverage: No guiding intellectual purpose or clear priorities

  10. Prioritizing Framework • Look for big ideas and core tasks • Important to know and do • Worth being familiar with

  11. MOE Desired Outcomes At the end of pre-school education, children will: • Know what is right and what is wrong • Be willing to share and take turns with others • Be able to relate to others • Be curious and be able to explore • Be able to listen and speak with understanding • Be comfortable and happy with themselves • Have developed physical co-ordination and healthy habits • Love their family, friends, teachers and kindergarten

  12. Children's Interests Performance Tasks MOE's Desired Outcomes DO REMEMBER! Essential Questions

  13. As teachers, how would our understanding of UbD be translated into real-life classroom teachings?

  14. Role Play! (Recycling)

  15. Final thoughts about Understanding by Design...

  16. Thank you for your time! Any questions? ^^
