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, this new edition of Understanding by Design 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.
