Backward Design
Backward design is a method of planning for a teacher. The
most important step is for the teacher to have a clear understanding of the
goal that he/she wants the students to reach. The goal should be skilled based
and not primarily content based. Each teacher has to be in tune to each and
every student’s interests, strengths and weaknesses. It’s the teacher’s responsibility
to find a way that the material is relevant and attention-grabbing for the
student. Once the student is motivated, the learning can take place in a
meaningful and engaging manner.
The way I accomplish this in my classroom is by basing my
lesson plan on goals which I establish through classroom and individual student
observations and assessments.
