Course Overview
Is it time to revise or create a new unit of instruction in your curriculum? Identify relevant content standards and your school/district guidelines that apply to this unit.
Tackle this work by creating a design to engage your students and deepen their ability to make meaning of learning and transfer to performance. Using the concepts of backward design, develop a unit sketch that defines your desired results, evidence of achieving goals, and instructional learning plan.
