Understanding by Design Exchange

Understanding by Design is a framework for designing curriculum, assessments and instruction. This framework explores questions such as: What is teaching for understanding? How can you unpack content standards to identify the important big ideas that you want students to understand? What instructional practices are engaging and effective for developing student understanding? To help educators enrich student understanding, ASCD offers the Understanding by Design Exchange, a Web site dedicated to the design of curriculum, assessment and instruction that leads students to deep understanding of content.
