Ideas, insights, and inspiration from the
Authentic Education Team

If we're intentional about our read-aloud choices, we can maintain this time as one of both a regenerative calm period and as a tool for intentional learning.
Mike and Monique share why they have chosen to come together to develop their Inclusive Curriculum Design: Backwards Planning for Equity and Belonging workshop.
Taking time to reflect on the year ahead means thinking deeply about what’s working in our educational spaces and what needs to shift.
A curriculum review is illuminating and well worth the time. What we do with that information can have a huge impact on student learning and outcomes.
Sample UbD Units That Empower Learners and Promote Equity. All backwards designed with inclusivity, equity, & belonging front of mind.
Most teachers know, tricky student behaviors spike at this time of year. It can help to consider simple adjustments for a calmer, more engaged spring classroom.
UbD Gardening
Developing nature-based curricula through the UbD framework takes outdoor learning from an exciting bonus to a meaningful practice.
Letting go of activities in the classroom to simplify your teaching life is hard and it’s essential for growth, making space for new things, & to avoid burnout.
How can we apply an Understanding by Design mindset to lunch? Social connections are integral to development and a huge part of the learning that takes place within the school day.
Despite questions on homework 1 thing is certain: it must be structured with the same intention as classroom learning (in our case, UbD) if it's to be of value.
