Understanding by Design
Sites
UbD Exchange
Understanding by Design
— is a framework for
designing curriculum,
assessments, and instruction
using a “backward design”
approach. Development of
units starts with the
enduring understandings and
essential questions. The
second stage is determining
what acceptable evidence
will be to know that the
students truly understands.
The final stage then focuses
on developing the
instructional to ensure
learning. One of the
available tools, the
Understanding by Design
Exchange, is a Web site
dedicated to the design of
curriculum, assessment, and
instruction that leads
students to deep
understanding of content.
