Standard #7: Planning for Instruction
The teacher plans instruction that supports
every student in meeting rigorous learning
goals by drawing upon knowledge of content
areas, curriculum, cross-disciplinary skills,
and pedagogy, as well as knowledge of
learners and the community context.
lead. inspire. teach.
What is “Backward Design?”
One starts with the end - the desired results (goals or
standards) - and then derives the curriculum from the
evidence of learning (performances) called for by the
standard and the teaching needed to equip students to
perform (Wiggins and McTighe, 2000, page 8).
What is Backward Design?
lead. inspire. teach.
Consensus
Elements
Take a minute to write
your personal
definition of
“backwards design” as
it relates to presenting
instructional content
Planning Process
lead. inspire. teach.
The design process involves teachers planning in
3 stages, each with a focusing question:
Stage 1
What is worthy and requiring of
understanding?
Stage 2
What is evidence of understanding?
Stage 3
What learning experiences and
teaching promote understanding,
interest and excellence?
