Understanding by Design

by Grant P. Wiggins

Understanding by Design Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Book News Annotation:

Aimed at teachers in grades K-16, this text presents a framework for the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction that is focused on developing and deepening student understanding of important ideas. Consultants Wiggins and McTighe (both former classroom teachers) propose a "backward design" approach to planning that helps students meet standards without sacrificing bigger goals related to understanding. They also explain how individual units may be nested within a larger framework of courses and programs dealing with essential questions.
