Recalling facts and figures Rote memorization Drill and Kill exercises 7 Slide 8 THE 8 FACETS OF UNDERSTANDING 8 Slide 9 9 UbD is Based on 8 Facets A method for curriculum planning Learning through big ideas and transferring learning to new scenarios big ideas Transform content standards into basic elements with appropriate assessments Students transfer their own learning through authentic performance Curriculum is planned backwards from assessment results Teachers aim and check for student understanding Reviewing curriculum and lesson units regularly against design standards for quality Adjusting and critiquing the results of curriculum design against student results Slide 10 BACKWARD DESIGN 10 Slide 11 BACKWARD DESIGN 3 Stage Process used to design curriculum to show understanding and transfer of information. The focus is on content that is used not just recalled. Visualize the learning destination then identify the learning route. 11 Stage 1 Identify Desired Results Stage 2 Determine Acceptable Evidence Stage 3 Learning Plan Slide 12 3 STAGES OF BACKWARD DESIGN STAGE 1 12 Stage 1 Identify Desired Results Stage 1 Identify Desired Results Stage 2 Determine Acceptable Evidence Stage 1 Identify Desired Results Stage 2 Determine Acceptable Evidence Stage 3 Learning Plan Slide 13 STAGE 1 IDENTIFY DESIRED RESULTS What long-term transfer goals are targeted? What meanings should students make in order to arrive at important understandings? What essential questions will students explore? 13 Stage 1 Identify Desired Results Slide 14 STAGE 1 IDENTIFY DESIRED RESULTS What knowledge and skill will students acquire? What established goals/standards are targeted? 14 Stage 1 Identify Desired Results Slide 15 STUDENTS SHOULD KNOW THE ANSWER TO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS. 15 Stage 1 Identify Desired Results Why do I need to know this? What can I do with what Ive learned? Slide 16 3 STAGES OF BACKWARD DESIGN STAGE 2 16 Stage 2 Determine Acceptable Evidence Stage 1 Identify Desired Results Stage 2 Determine Acceptable Evidence Stage 3 Learning Plan Slide 17 STAGE 2: EVIDENCE What performances and products will reveal evidence of meaning- making and transfer? What additional evidence will be collected for all Stage 1 desired results? Move your mouse over the image to view a larger picture.

I need to show you what I can do instead of just answering the questions. I need to show my work and support my thinking. Slide 19 EVIDENCE G.R.A.S.P. S. Your assessments should have the following traits Goal statement for the performance task G Role of the student for the performance task R Audience who will see the performance task A Situational context in which the student will complete the performance task S Performance on the task P Standards used to assess the students understanding? S Click the link to see and Example of a GRASPS activity. 19 Slide 20 STAGE 2: EVIDENCE 20 At the end of the assessment, can the student Explain put their knowledge into their own words Interpret offers support and justifies his understanding Apply Transfers, adapts, and adjusts his understanding to address different scenarios. Perspective See events from different points of view Empathy The student can walk in the shoes of other people or characters Self-Understanding the student can reflect and critically assess their understanding including their limits. Slide 21 Stage 1 Identify Desired Results Stage 2 Determine Acceptable Evidence Stage 3 Learning Plan WHAT IS UNDERSTANDING BY DESIGN (UBD)? STAGE 3 21 Stage 1 Identify Desired Results Stage 2 Determine Acceptable Evidence Stage 3 Learning Plan Slide 22 STAGE 3 LEARNING PLAN 22 What activities, experiences, and lessons will get students to my desired results and be successful on the assessments? How will my learning plan help students acquire and transfer their knowledge? How am I going to pace and differentiate my learning plan to make sure all of my students are successful? Slide 23 STAGE 3 LEARNING PLAN Self-Assess your Learning Plan with W.H.E.R.E.T.O.: Where is your learning plan taking the student? Hook your students attention Equip students to give them the support to gain understanding and perform tasks Rethink previous methods and look at things in a new way in order to introduce new ideas. Evaluate and give students feedback and chances to self-assess and fix their ideas. Tailor instruction to allow for differentiation Organize the work in the order that best meets to the goals of understanding the material. 23 Slide 24 IN CONCLUSION Reflect on the following questions Think about what is the best-designed learning you have ever experienced? What is true of good design, regardless of the content? How will you use UbD?
