Designing Backwards

Backwards design? What on earth is that? Well, it’s a three-stage lesson design process that targets desired results, evidence, and learning plan. In a sense it helps educators create a roadmap starting with the end in mind and asking yourself, “what do my students have to know by the end of this unit?” Once the “final destination” is set, then educators can plan for lessons that will get their students closer to that target every day, and how they will assess their students to check that they are on the same page with them. Backwards design is extremely helpful in identifying the desired results for the unit, and determining acceptable evidence of conquering the desired results. In addition, it is helpful in preparing activities, materials, and other sorts of resources that will be used to help the student learn and reach the desired results.
