3rd Grade ELA teachers jumped into the Unit 5 Unpacking height and early this morning! I loved getting to participate with this PLC! Amazing conversations that led to some great planning! 🦅 @RiverEves@HelloAlexElle@KCWilliamsFCS#backwardsdesign
#makeadifference#ba influence planning with the end in mind is not a new approach but it allows us to plan the path for success. Like ⛳️ golf…plan from hole to the tee and you can predetermine the clubs will have to hit. #planforresults#planwithpurpose#backwardsdesign
We’ve all been wrestling with ways to incorporate #AI into pedagogy.
Here’s a @MicrosoftFlip activity for using @bing Chat for lesson planning.

Working on an upcoming presentation on Effective Lesson Design and this stands out significantly.
Student agency and autonomy is vital in deeper understanding!

5/ 📷 All three methods place immense value on having a clear outcome in mind before starting the work. They encourage us to think hard about what success looks like and use that vision to guide our implementations. #BackwardsDesign#TDD#ProductManagement
Ooh this is a thinker 🧠! If you find yourself apologizing for how much text is on your slides, that's a 🚩. Time to redesign for a simpler message that doesn't overwhelm your audience or learners. #backwardsdesign#sixgears#memorable credit @PepsMccrea
Todays #BackwardsDesign plan looks at the #corecompetency of being Personally Aware & Responsible in an inclusive Gr 1 class. We targeted goals, made them kid friendly and found texts that vary in complexity so that ALL kids could engage and participate in meaningful ways! #bced

Twitter friends! Today we made a #backwardsdesign plan for an #inclusive gr 4/5 #science class. We need your help! What great resources, text & activities do you know that can help students w/ a range of abilities show evidence of these outcomes! I'll share the results!
ALT This image shows a curriculum unit plan for a grade 4/5 inclusive science class learning about phases of Matter. The planning template shows the unit big ideas of the unit, which ave been changed into guiding questions, and the curricular learning standards and how we have translated the learning standards into student friendly language. A third and empty column shows an opportuntity to gather resources and activities to help students create evidence of their learning.

.@and_mrsharris and I had the opportunity to collaborate w/ the @Lamar_MS RLA team to unpack Unit 4. So many great discussions about final unit assessments & performance tasks, how to scaffold instruction to reach those targets, & how to assess mastery! #backwardsdesign 👏🏾👏🏾
Task completion is a poor proxy for learning; this is something I wished I'd known in my early years of teaching. Here is a one-pager I have created for @PepsMccrea, summarising his notion of Backwards Planning.
Curriculum Renewal #HRCEpd today with a room full of dedicated teachers. Picked up some good info on #BackwardsDesign had some great conversation, and came home with some swag. Bonus: grabbed lunch at one of my fave spots. @choppedleaf 🧐🤓😋

Road mapping ourselves instructionally! If you don’t know the destination, you don’t know the route to take. Looking at the upcoming DCCA to ensure our activities and instruction are aligned. Thank you to @ksingle01 for@coming through to assist! #BackwardsDesign#CHISDThrives
