SUMMARY:Teaching with Clarity: Understanding by Design in Everyday Planning
DESCRIPTION:Price: $ 120  \nDate: Thursday\, October 16th\, 4:30 p.m. – 6:30 p.m. ET \nInstructors: Joan McGettigan\, EdD \nGrades: K – 8 \n  \nWhy This Workshop: \nEven the most thoughtfully developed curriculum can fall short if students don’t understand the “why” behind what they’re learning. This workshop introduces a practical approach to using Understanding by Design (UbD) principles to bring more clarity\, focus\, and intentionality to classroom planning (Wiggins & McTighe\, 2005). Participants will learn how to anchor instruction in big ideas and essential questions that promote deeper thinking\, support long-term retention\, and encourage transfer across content areas. Participants will discover how to break down unit planning into manageable steps\, use time-saving templates\, and ensure alignment between instruction and learning objectives. \nKey Learning Objectives: \n\nLearn how to identify and use big ideas and essential questions to frame instruction that deepens understanding and promotes knowledge transfer\nUse backward design strategies to clarify learning goals and align them with daily lessons and formative assessments\nApply practical planning tools to streamline instructional decision-making and highlight what matters most in a unit\nStrengthen the connection between learning objectives\, student tasks\, and assessment\, making learning more purposeful and transparent for students
