The highly anticipated second edition of Understanding by Design poses the core, essential questions of understanding and design, and provides readers with practical solutions for the teacher-designer. The book opens by analyzing the logic of backward design as an alternative to coverage and activity-oriented plans. Though backward from habit, this approach brings more focus and coherence to instruction. The text proposes a multifaceted approach, with the six "facets" of understanding. The facets combine with backward design to provide a powerful, expanded array of practical tools and strategies for designing curriculum, instruction, and assessments that lead students at all grade levels to genuine understanding. The second edition, a refined work, has been thoroughly and extensively revised, updated, and expanded, including improvement of the UbD Template, the key terms of UbD, dozens of worksheets, and some of the larger concepts. The authors have successfully put together a text that demonstrates what best practice in the design of learning looks like, enhancing for its audience their capability for creating more engaging and effective learning, whether the student is a third grader, a college freshman, or a faculty member.

Features + Benefits

NEW! UbD Template for unit design-Clearer, and more user-friendly, the template now provides a structural foundation for the revised book, representing a form for the final design, with elements aligned. A practical benefit as a tool in design for understanding, the template cultivates better habits of planning for teacher designers.

NEW! Sharpened meaning of understanding - Frames the term in more conceptual, practical terms for the reader. The text now offers more specific guidelines on how to frame desired understandings (i.e. as full-sentence generalizations) and put much greater emphasis on the goal of transfer.

NEW! Updated and refined Chapter 5 - The argument about what essential questions are and are not has been more clearly defined for readers, whether coming from a humanities, science, or teaching background.

NEW! Expanded selection of exercises- The text now features a greater sampling across the grade levels and subjects. Readers will find that their concerns are better reflected in the revised materials, with illustrations drawn from a vast array of schooling experiences, elementary school to the college level.

A great selection for the in-service market- Very practical and applied.

Co-published by Merrill and the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) - One of the many texts available in the Merrill/ASCD College Textbook Series partnership.
