HOMEWORK for this Class (handout- attached below): Take a look at your Understanding by Design Sample Plan Before Class on Wed. the 17th. I have uploaded a digital copy of the document here: [|Madeline Hunter Lesson Plan] [|Understanding by Design Unit Plan] = Understanding by Design aka Backwards Planning, Takes Thinking Ahead = You have vacation time coming up. Do you want The Experience to be a whirlwind, stimulating, possibly educational one, or maybe tranquil, low maintenance, and stress free? If you pick the latter, you're probably heading for the countryside or to a beach. If you are all about the first one, you are gearing up for a city trip with many sites, museums, galleries, and possibly even a little night clubbing. Either way, you will plan accordingly: the mode of travel, accommodations, food, and any outings. The desired end result, the experience, will influence your planning.

So how does this look when we plan for our students? More UBD INFORMATION: [|Understanding by Design White Paper] [|Project Based Learning] [|Google Docs Blank Lesson Plan] [|UDL Lesson Builder]
 * 1) Look at standard(s).
 * 2) Make a list of the skills, concepts, and knowledge kids need to learn.
 * 3) Next, design the final assessment/project where students will demonstrate understanding to mastery of these skills, concepts, knowledge.
 * 4) Then, create a set of lessons that lead up to that end.
 * 5) Once you've done this, reflect on the set of lessons, making sure all the skills, concepts, and knowledge for student success with the end assessment are being taught.

Share My Lesson Common Core Information Center
Ready to start thinking about classroom implementation? Share My Lesson is a fantastic free platform where teachers can exchange lesson plans and ideas, developed by the American Federation of Teachers and TES Connect. Their Common Core State Standards information center is a hub for lesson plans and advice. The Share My Lesson team did the legwork of digging through more than 250,000 user-uploaded and -rated resources on the site to find the most relevant ones for teaching with the Common Core Standards -- check out the K - 8 Math Index and the 6 - 12 English Language Arts Index for lessons mapped to specific standards. They also host a Common Core Forum so you can join the discussion. [|Resource: http://www.edutopia.org/common-core-state-standards-resources]
