Time Frame: (Keynote Address or 2-hour workshop)

Why are the best curriculum designs planned "backward?" WeŒll examine the logic of backward design and review a three-stage model for developing units and assessments that focus on developing and deepening students' understanding of important ideas. We'll also examine electronic curriculum design Templates and view the ubdexchange.org web site, a tool for "working smarter" in curriculum and assessment design.
