The Understanding by Design Guide to Creating High-Quality Units | Grant P. Wiggins, Jay McTighe

CindyMyLifeIsLit You are SO better than me!! Every day I've found excellent reasons--usually bookish in nature--to avoid thinking about school starting back up. Although I have attended several technology training classes last month, so I'm preening myself on those!😜 8y

Melkyl I have done nothing for school, and I don't feel guilty at all. I need a break during summer. 8y

GypsyKat That coffee and muffin look delicious! 8y

BookishMarginalia We end the school year after Memorial Day, so I had a full month of doing nothing but resting. We start work Aug 1, and I usually do professional reading and planning in July, when I'm rested and relaxed. @CindyMyLifeIsLit @Melwilk 💜 8y

BookishMarginalia @GypsyKat They were! 8y

I'm done reading Understanding by Design, so I'm revisiting the English Language Arts Common Core Standards before attempting to plan my first UbD instructional unit. I'm such a nerd! 🤓 #TeachersofLitsy #SummerWork (and yes, that's pumpkin spice coffee ☕️ and a carrot cupcake in the background 😊)

Bookworm83 I love writing UbD units! #teachernerds 8y

BookishMarginalia @Bookworm83 @inwhichHeikereadsharder @rustoryhuf @tlmorgan @Smartypants Hello, my people! I would so appreciate any help, pointers, resource recs, etc! And if any of you would be willing to give me feedback once I have a draft, I would so appreciate it! (I'm the first in my school to venture into UbD, so I'm on my own.) My work email is custodio.g at tasisdorado.com 🤓🙌🏼 8y

rustoryhuf Just let me know what you need...when I go back to work on Monday I can send a ppt for a PD workshop on UBD. 8y

BookishMarginalia @rustoryhuf Thanks! 8y

Bookworm83 I'd love to look at a draft and offer feedback. I'd be happy to share some of my understandings and essential questions as examples. They are a constant work in progress, but it's fun to trade ideas! I'll shoot you an email from my work email 👍🏻 (edited) 8y
