“Backward” Design Logicby Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe“Backward” Design Logicby Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe
Design assessments before lessons--know what evidence you seek.
Avoid the tendency to jump to designing lessons and planning activities.

Think like an Assessor. Consider assessments before you
design lessons and activities. Be clear about what evidence of
