Backwards Design

We have a lot of wonderful resources to digest.  Mahalo to Bishop Museum, NASA, and my new colleagues and friends for a wonderful two days!!!

Another resource that reinforces and aligns well with some of our discussions/resources thus far is the concept of Backwards Design presented in Wiggins and McTighe's Understanding By Design book and materials.

For a wiki perspective on it:

I imagine all are familiar with this guide for curriculum development and instructional design.  It seems we are on the right path!
