EDPC 605
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.
