Understanding by Design is a groundbreaking book that revolutionizes the way educators think about curriculum design. Written by renowned educators Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe, this book introduces the concept of backward design, which involves starting with the end goal in mind and then designing curriculum to achieve that goal. The authors argue that curriculum should be focused on developing students' understanding of key concepts and essential questions, rather than simply covering a list of content. This book provides practical guidance on how to design curriculum using the backward design approach, including tips for creating meaningful assessments and engaging learning experiences. If you want to transform your curriculum and promote deep understanding among your students, Understanding by Design is a must-read.
