Overview
In this participatory workshop, ESOL practitioners develop an instructional unit using the Backward Design approach that aligns desired learning outcomes, assessment and activities.
Description
This workshop on Backward Design is focused on designing instructional units for effective teaching and learning. The Backward Design approach, originated by Wiggins and McTeague, helps you connect the purpose and desired results of your instruction with student demonstration of their learning.
