Summary:

This guide is for K-16 teachers, administrators, curriculum directors, and students in curriculum who have designed instructional units using the method described by the authors in their previous book, Understanding by Design Guide to Creating High-Quality Units, and are now ready to refine their skills in unit design. The authors also offer information on self-assessment, peer review, implementation, and supervision of the unit. The book's eight instructional modules provide unit design examples, exercises and worksheets, and assessment criteria, covering areas such as differentiating instruction, designing lesson plans, and obtaining and using feedback. A companion website offers downloadable forms, worksheets, examples, and FAQs. Wiggins and McTighe are education consultants. Annotation ©2012 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
