Introduction
Ensuring the success of your students requires a clear vision. The clearer you are in your vision of what students should know and be able to do, the more effective you will be. In this section, you will explore the basic principles of Understanding by Design, a framework for designing curriculum, instruction, and assessment, that facilitate your students’ deep understanding of the content you teach.
