## Description

Understanding By Design [Grant Wiggins, Jay McTighe] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Understanding By Design

Review: Every educator needs this book! - Definitely a must have for any educator. Wiggins and McTighe are almost the pioneers in this field and thought of backwards design (Robert Tyler first thought of the concept in his published work from 1947) and their concepts are easy to implement and are what I would call a no-brainer. As in it should be something that all teachers are already implementing in their lesson and unit planning already. However, we all know that it is not already in the forefront of every educators mind or else there would not be a need for this book. This book will definitely teach the educator or potential educator how to start to think about the goals of a lesson and then to plan the lessons on how to get each student to those specific goals (backwards design). It is an easy concept and once understood and fully grasped by the educator he/she can start to educate their students in a way in which the students will benefit by truly gaining meaningful knowledge from the course they are taking with the educator and be able to apply the knowledge and demonstrate understanding.
Review: What every teacher should know. - This is a valuable resource for any educator. I have been teaching for over 30 years and I reference my copy all of the time. My son is early in his teaching career and is taking some graduate education courses. I bought it for him. He has already begun to use it as a part of his graduate studies and as a resource in his classroom.
