Christel replied to Lisa Privitera's discussion Lesson planning using backward design"Hi Lisa, some of our district teachers have been using Backward Planning (Wiggins and McTighe) for ten years now.

Lisa Privitera replied to Lisa Privitera's discussion Lesson planning using backward design"Chris,
Thank you so much for your response. Your analogy really helped me to see how backward design is really the way to make lessons sucessful! I have read Wiggins and McTighe. The Understanding by Design is one of the major topics that we have…"

Grace Gorman replied to Lisa Privitera's discussion Lesson planning using backward design"We just started using Backwards by Design this year and as a coordinator I like it very much.
