UbD/DI Chapter 4

This chapter talks about how it is important to make sure that as a teacher you present the information so students understand. It also talks about how teachers should make the goals clear to the students so both the teacher and the students know where they are trying to be at the end. It is important to know about individuals and their learning styles and to teach to them. It is also important to have mutual respect between the teacher and students.

This chapter connected with the backward planning model because this model allows us to see the goals clearly and also plan how to achieve them. It was also easy to connect the idea that understanding is most important, because if the students don’t understand after the lesson or assignment what was the point? Also if some students don’t understand it is not helpful to give them less work than the other students. It is important that everyone understands.
