In this workshop, you will learn about the backward design process and contrast it with other methods of course design. The backward design process takes instructors through a three-stage process (develop learning objectives, plan assessments and develop classroom activities and course content). Applying backward design to the development of instructional units is an evidence-based practice that results in the development of more focused course curriculum and increased levels of student achievement.

This series of workshops will provide you with a solid foundation for planning units in which objectives, assessments, course content and activities are aligned to increase student achievement. Attend one or all of the workshops in the Course Design series this fall (additional workshops in the series will be offered twice each month).
