Conference Tracks
Learning Theories and Pedagogy – Research
Abstract
Championed by Wiggins and McTighe (1998) as a method of planning in education, the Understanding by Design offers educators a planning process to guide curriculum, assessment, and instruction. Two overarching ideas of UbD is 1) the focus on teaching and assessing for understanding and 2) learning transfer and the backward curriculum design to meet those ends (Hossein, Chalak, & Biria, 2019). The purpose of this panel is to offer reflections, perspectives, and primary research findings on how intentional, systematic, and backward curriculum design can impact programs in access schools.
