UbD Overview
UbD Overview
Understanding by Design focuses specifically on what the students need to be able to accomplish after the completion of a unit. The "big idea" of a unit is determined first, in order to have a clear understanding of the final purpose or destination of that unit. Knowing the final outcome helps to effectively develop the learning objectives for the unit, as well as guide the creation of the projects and assessments used by the students to learn the content.
