DI/UBD Chapter 10

Abstract:

This chapter applied the backwards planning model to the evaluation of how well you have applied the UBD and DI model. It also explores the importance of integrating new teaching practices into your established routine and not just falling into the same patterns year after year, or even unit after unit. They suggest working with colleagues to develop and implement new ideas and practices. Many suggestions are given for implementing UBD/DI into the classroom.

Reflection:

The suggestions given in this chapter are easily applied to the normal classroom. There seem to be many ways to ease into the UBD/DI model if you are a veteran teacher, and there are many bases from which to start as a new teacher. We found this text to be very helpful in designing a classroom conducive to learning and that is also flexible.
