Teachers struggle every day to bring quality instruction to their
students. Beset by lists of content standards and accompanying
""high-stakes"" accountability tests, many educators sense that
both teaching and learning have been redirected in ways that are
potentially impoverishing for those who teach and those who learn.
Educators need a model that acknowledges the centrality of
standards but also ensures that students truly understand content
and can apply it in meaningful ways. For many educators,
Understanding by Design addresses that need. Simultaneously,
teachers find it increasingly difficult to ignore the diversity of
the learners who populate their classrooms. Few teachers find their
work effective or satisfying when they simply ""serve up"" a
curriculum-even an elegant one-to students with no regard for their
varied learning needs. For many educators, Differentiated
Instruction offers a framework for addressing learner variance as a
critical component of instructional planning. In this book the two
models converge, providing readers fresh perspectives on two of the
greatest contemporary challenges for educators: crafting powerful
curriculum in a standards-dominated era and ensuring academic
success for the full spectrum of learners. Each model strengthens
the other. Understanding by Design is predominantly a curriculum
design model that focuses on what we teach. Differentiated
Instruction focuses on whom we teach, where we teach, and how we
teach. Carol Ann Tomlinson and Jay McTighe show you how to use the
principles of backward design and differentiation together to craft
lesson plans that will teach essential knowledge and skills for the
full spectrum of learners. Connecting content and kids in
meaningful ways is what teachers strive to do every day. In tandem,
UbD and DI help educators meet that goal by providing structures,
tools, and guidance for developing curriculum and instruction that
bring to students the best of what we know about effective teaching
and learning.
