Backward Design
Backward Design is an approach to instructional design (promoted by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe, 1998), with curriculum units around these types of questions: What enduring understanding do I want my students to develop? How will I know that my students have learned what I want them to learn? How will I engage my students in the instruction?
