Understanding by Design Template with questions
Stage 1 - Desired Outcome
Established Goals:
* What relevant goals (e.g. content standards, course or program objective, learning outcomes) will this design address?
Understandings:
Students will understand that...
* What are the big ideas?
* What specific understandings about them are desired?
* What misunderstandings are predictable?
Essential Questions:
* What provocative questions will foster inquiry, understanding, and transfer of learning?
Students will know . . .Students will be able to
* What key knowledge and skills will students acquire as a result of this unit?
* What should they eventually be able to do as a result of such knowledge and skill?
Stage 2 - Assessment Evidence
Performance Tasks:
* Through what authentic performance tasks will students demonstrate the desired understandings?
* By what criteria will performances of understanding be judged?
Other Evidence:
* Through what other evidence (e.g. quizzes, tests, academic prompts, observations, homework, journals) will students demonstrate achievement of the desired results?
* How will students reflect upon on self-assess their learning?
Stage 3 - Learning Plan
Learning Activities:
What learning experiences and instruction will enable students to achieve the desired results?
How will the design:
W = Help the students know Where the unit is going and What is expected? Help the teacher know Where the students are coming from (prior knowledge, interests)?
H = Hook all students, and Hold their interest?
E = Equip students, help them Experience the key ideas and Explore the issue?
R = Provide opportunities to Rethink and Revise their understandings and work?
E = Allow students to Evaluate their work and its implications?
T = be Tailored (personalized) to the different needs, interests, and abilities of learners?
O = Be Organized to maximize initial and sustained engagement as well as effective learning?
