Review: Definitely a must have for any educator. Wiggins and McTighe are almost the pioneers in this field and thought of backwards design (Robert Tyler first thought of the concept in his published work from 1947) and their concepts are easy to implement and are what I would call a no-brainer. As in it should be something that all teachers are already implementing in their lesson and unit planning already. However, we all know that it is not already in the forefront of every educators mind or else there would not be a need for this book. This book will definitely teach the educator or potential educator how to start to think about the goals of a lesson and then to plan the lessons on how to get each student to those specific goals (backwards design). It is an easy concept and once understood and fully grasped by the educator he/she can start to educate their students in a way in which the students will benefit by truly gaining meaningful knowledge from the course they are taking with the educator and be able to apply the knowledge and demonstrate understanding. Review: A seminal read that has proven to be well lent to colleagues and schools alike! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #70,862 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #576 in Education Theory #2,688 in Psychology & Counseling #4,005 in Science, Nature & Math | | Customer reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,030) | | Dimensions | 21.84 x 2.29 x 27.69 cm | | Edition | 2nd | | ISBN-10 | 1416600353 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1416600350 | | Item weight | 907 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 370 pages | | Publication date | 30 March 2005 | | Publisher | Association for Supervision & Curriculum Developme | | Reading age | 18 years and up | ## Images ![Understanding by Design - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71x2NhfonXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***S on 27 July 2015* Definitely a must have for any educator.
