UbD: Chapter 6

This chapter was basically explaining the importance of using UbD in the classroom. First a teacher should start off by asking themselves questions about certain units. The teacher should question what the students are learning and maybe different ways of teaching the material to better suit a students needs once a unit takes off. The next step to better suit all students needs is to understand what is going to lead them to understand information and think at high levels, expand on basic concepts, allow for the student to interpret their own understanding of certain material, and let them know what is expected from them. Once these concepts are recognized by the teacher then they can move on to using UbD in the classroom and using the classroom as a tool for this. In the end it is easier to not only realize which students are similar in their learning needs but look for patterns to adjust to this. Then in the end allow flexibility within lesson plans to work around all students needs.
