Download or read book Understanding by Design written by Grant P. Wiggins and published by ASCD. This book was released on 2005 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is understanding and how does it differ from knowledge? How can we determine the big ideas worth understanding? Why is understanding an important teaching goal, and how do we know when students have attained it? How can we create a rigorous and engaging curriculum that focuses on understanding and leads to improved student performance in today's high-stakes, standards-based environment? Authors Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe answer these and many other questions in this second edition of Understanding by Design. Drawing on feedback from thousands of educators around the world who have used the UbD framework since its introduction in 1998, the authors have greatly revised and expanded their original work to guide educators across the K-16 spectrum in the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. With an improved UbD Template at its core, the book explains the rationale of backward design and explores in greater depth the meaning of such key ideas as essential questions and transfer tasks. Readers will learn why the familiar coverage- and activity-based approaches to curriculum design fall short, and how a focus on the six facets of understanding can enrich student learning. With an expanded array of practical strategies, tools, and examples from all subject areas, the book demonstrates how the research-based principles of Understanding by Design apply to district frameworks as well as to individual units of curriculum. Combining provocative ideas, thoughtful analysis, and tested approaches, this new edition of Understanding by Design offers teacher-designers a clear path to the creation of curriculum that ensures better learning and a more stimulating experience for students and teachers alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Effective and practical coaching strategies for new educators plus valuable online coaching tools Many teachers are only observed one or two times per year on average—and, even among those who are observed, scarcely any are given feedback as to how they could improve. The bottom line is clear: teachers do not need to be evaluated so much as they need to be developed and coached. In Get Better Faster: A 90-Day Plan for Coaching New Teachers, Paul Bambrick-Santoyo shares instructive tools of how school leaders can effectively guide new teachers to success. Over the course of the book, he breaks down the most critical actions leaders and teachers must take to achieve exemplary results. Designed for coaches as well as beginning teachers, Get Better Faster is an integral coaching tool for any school leader eager to help their teachers succeed. Get Better Faster focuses on what's practical and actionable which makes the book's approach to coaching so effective. By practicing the concrete actions and micro-skills listed in Get Better Faster, teachers will markedly improve their ability to lead a class, producing a steady chain reaction of future teaching success. Though focused heavily on the first 90 days of teacher development, it's possible to implement this work at any time. Junior and experienced teachers alike can benefit from the guidance of Get Better Faster while at the same time closing existing instructional gaps. Featuring valuable and practical online training tools available at http://www.wiley.com/go/getbetterfaster, Get Better Faster provides agendas, presentation slides, a coach's guide, handouts, planning templates, and 35 video clips of real teachers at work to help other educators apply the lessons learned in their own classrooms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Understanding by Design Guide to Creating High-Quality Units offers instructional modules on the basic concepts and elements of Understanding by Design (UbD), the "backward design" approach used by thousands of educators to create curriculum units and assessments that focus on developing students' understanding of important ideas. The eight modules are organized around the UbD Template Version 2.0 and feature components similar to what is typically provided in a UbD design workshop, including— * Discussion and explanation of key ideas in the module; * Guiding exercises, worksheets, and design tips; * Examples of unit designs; * Review criteria with prompts for self-assessment; and * A list of resources for further information. This guide is intended for K-16 educators—either individuals or groups—who may have received some training in UbD and want to continue their work independently; those who've read Understanding by Design and want to design curriculum units but have no access to formal training; graduate and undergraduate students in university curriculum courses; and school and district administrators, curriculum directors, and others who facilitate UbD work with staff. Users can go through the modules in sequence or skip around, depending on their previous experience with UbD and their preferred curriculum design style or approach. Unit creation, planning, and adaptation are easier than ever with the accompanying downloadable resources, including the UbD template set up as a fillable PDF form, additional worksheets, examples, and FAQs about the module topics that speak to UbD novices and veterans alike.

Book excerpt: Do you know children who struggle on standardized tests? Do you want to help them? Becoming Test Savvy is an insider's guide for parents and teachers who want to improve their children's standardized test performance. Combining his experience as a standardized test question writer and over 30 years' experience working with students, training teachers, and publishing books on improving test scores, Bob Alexander is making his highly effective strategies accessible for everyone. In addition to individual students, K-12 public and private schools have documented exceptional results using his copyrighted approaches to improve scores. This ground-breaking book provides a unique, insider's perspective on how test writers develop those "tricky" questions and answers while explaining proven test-taking strategies that can conquer them. This engaging, motivating approach describes how standardized tests are surprisingly like games. The parallels to sports, video games, and board games will astound you and encourage your child to keep working. You and your children will learn the opponent's (test writer's) game plans for developing questions. More importantly, the book explains proven strategies that tens of thousands of students have used to beat test writers at the testing game. Dozens of specific activities are provided to use with your children/students to level the playing field for test day. Becoming Test Savvy is designed to help parents and teachers: Transform children's attitudes toward standardized tests. Explain these tests and how to approach them. Reveal rules that test writers must follow. Understand how teacher-made tests and standardized tests are different. Recognize that standardized tests require critical thinking skills. Teach powerful analytical and reasoning skills that are used by successful test takers. Provide concrete strategies to attack test questions. Engage students in exercises to practice these strategies. Reviewing content and teaching test format has gotten test takers their current scores. Learning how to approach the test analytically improves students' performance even more. Educators who have used this program have reported a bonus--students who employ these strategies for attacking word problems and reading passages boost their classroom performance as well. As you and your child/students get into the test writer's head, you will discover this test-taking system does not simply apply to any particular test. It has been highly effective for elementary, middle, and high school students. The techniques have helped test takers conquer state tests as well as national tests like the ACT, SAT, Stanford (SAT10), SSAT, GRE, GMAT, and even licensure exams. The additional payoff is that students report learning their new skills is both motivating and fun. Unquestionably, by the end of the book, you will be asking yourself what a CBS reporter exclaimed on his television news program, "Where was this guy when I took the test?"

This book was released on 2015-08-07 with total page 953 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Undergraduate Psychology Education is dedicated to providing comprehensive coverage of teaching, pedagogy, and professional issues in psychology. The Handbook is designed to help psychology educators at each stage of their careers, from teaching their first courses and developing their careers to serving as department or program administrators. The goal of the Handbook is to provide teachers, educators, researchers, scholars, and administrators in psychology with current, practical advice on course creation, best practices in psychology pedagogy, course content recommendations, teaching methods and classroom management strategies, advice on student advising, and administrative and professional issues, such as managing one's career, chairing the department, organizing the curriculum, and conducting assessment, among other topics. The primary audience for this Handbook is college and university-level psychology teachers (at both two and four-year institutions) at the assistant, associate, and full professor levels, as well as department chairs and other psychology program administrators, who want to improve teaching and learning within their departments. Faculty members in other social science disciplines (e.g., sociology, education, political science) will find material in the Handbook to be applicable or adaptable to their own programs and courses.
