The Backwards Design process was first introduced to me
earlier this year in my master’s program.
This was a completely new process for me and I was nervous about how it
would work. It was a struggle at first
because it was so new. But as I
continued through the process, I began to realize how it actually made teaching
easier.
By teaching with the
essential questions in mind, I now am more focused and organized about what I
am teaching and why as well as what I want the students to know and
understand. The process has guided me to
ask higher level thinking questions and think differently about learning goals
for my students.

How do I separate enduring understandings,
knowledge and skills – I feel very repetitive when planning a BD unit?
