Understanding by Design Chapter 9: Bringing it All Together: Curriculm and Instruction Through the Lens of UbD and DI

Chapter nine summed up everything that we have learned in the book so far. Using UbD and DI in our lessons is vital but you have to be aware that not every lesson can use every single strategy. Throughout the lesson, the strategies should be used and implemented wherever applicable. One of the most important things for me to do is be flexible with the way that I instruct and assess. Starting the planning process with the big ideas, then the assessments and the lessons is important to maximizing the effectiveness of my lesson plans. Keeping the students and their learning styles in mind will help to make the class a safer and more encouraging place for students to learn and demonstrate their knowledge.
