It makes so much sense, that it is embarrassing to think that I have only done so in recent years and then I need to remind myself at times. I think our schools need to have workshops to help teachers understand what backward design is (I can almost guarantee you that many have no idea what it is) and secondly, how to go about planning. The more I continue to define what it is my students are to learn, and then write my assessments/rubrics before writing the actual unit plan, the easier it becomes.WhendeeGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04589714238731545936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5632007.post-72187353972307470102013-06-30T09:22:05.156-06:002013-06-30T09:22:05.156-06:00Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Wendy.

A follow-up question: How can we best support and encourage each other in making sure we are making the effort to think forward and not backward?Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18294917969406885530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5632007.post-49165086726761713062013-06-30T02:31:26.503-06:002013-06-30T02:31:26.503-06:00Probably guilty of most of them at one time or ano...Probably guilty of most of them at one time or another - some more than others. However, I think that the main cause is #13 "Teacher thinks forward, not backward.". Obviously there is always a goal to be met, but it is too easy for me to jump back to step one and move from there. Why? It was the way I was taught and how I was taught to teach, oh so very long ago :D. However, I find by doing that, it is too easy to dictate the process, step by step, thereby taking too many unnecessary side trips. The result is a teacher directed project rather than making technology an available tool for the student to reach the goal. It takes problem-solving out of the learning process.
