Ideas, insights, and inspiration from the
Authentic Education Team
Essential questions are the overarching questions that provoke thought and lead students to inquiry, meaning making and finally transfer, while understandings are the concepts and skills that students will use to be able to gain and draw inferences, make connections and apply the learning to new situations
A primary goal of UbD is to make meaning of learning by way of “big ideas” and to transfer learning and this can be applied to all subject areas.
I will share how I took an existing unit back to the drawing board to “UbD it” through workshops, feedback, and simple trial and error.
Educators introducing UbD into their classroom might should not worry that Essential Questions feel lofty or above an elementary understanding.
