Chapter 3 UbD DI

Chapter 3 of Ubd discussed what content is necessary to teach to influence to most learning. Legistations have passed at an attempt to solve content overload and to focus teaching and learning. However, it seems that these standards are just adding more to what a teacher needs to cover. The chapter also discusses the backward learning model which also focuses learning. “The deliberate use of the backward design for planning courses, units, and individual lessons results in more clearly defined goals, more appropriate assessments, and more purposeful teaching.” The thought behind this model is that with the results in mind, more appropriate activities can be created.
