EDU 311 Wk 2 – Signature Assignment: Backward Design Guide and Lesson Plan Template

There are many ways to create lesson plans and you’ll probably experiment with several approaches before you select the best way for yourself. One popular approach to lesson planning for all levels of education is backward design. The idea behind backward design is that you teach and plan toward the end goal or what you want the students to be able to know or do. This typically ensures that the content being taught stays focused and more organized, thus promoting better understanding for the students.

 

This 2-part assignment reinforces the learning of backward design and provides an opportunity to develop a planning template for future use.

 

Part 1: Backward Design Guide

Create a 350- to 525-word guide that explains the use of backward design in lesson planning.

 

Include the following in your guide:

  • Explain backward design
  • Define the facets of understanding
  • Explanation
  • Interpretation
  • Application
  • Perspective
  • Empathy
  • Self-knowledge
  • Describe the 3 stages of backward design
  • Desired results
  • Assessment evidence
  • Learning plan

 

Part 2: Lesson Plan Template

Now that you understand the backward design process, you will develop a lesson plan template of your own to save and use for planning lessons using the backward design approach.

 

Review Ch. 11 “The Design Process,” of Understanding by Design in this week’s University Library Readings.

 

Consider the integration of the following components as you develop on your template:

  • Central focus
  • Learning goals and objectives
  • Content standards
  • Student’s background and cultural experiences
  • Student’s knowledge and skills
  • Self-reflection
  • Collaboration

 

Create a 1- to 1 ½-page lesson plan template that addresses the following stages of backward design:

  • Desired results
  • Questions to determine
  • Key elements to include
  • Assessment evidence
  • Questions to determine
  • Key elements to include
  • Learning plan
  • Questions to determine
  • Key elements to include

 

Personalize the template to your needs by adding in descriptors or reminder phrases for guidance when using the template to design a lesson.

 

Compile the following for submission:

  • Backward Design Guide
  • Lesson Plan Template

 

Submit your assignment.
