Ideas, insights, and inspiration from the
Authentic Education Team
Frameworks like UbD and PBL have been instrumental in shifting ways in which we organically incorporate assessments and feedback.
Students engage more and are more motivated when they realize their impact on the world through direct community involvement.
UbD helps us think beyond test scores and memorization to better support students develop thinking and questioning skills that will benefit them in the future.

Let’s dive deeper into how to look critically at our curriculum in order to cultivate a more flexible, thoughtful and inclusive approach to teaching reading.
Unpacking world language standards into what we want our students to KNOW (knowledge) and be able to DO (skills) narrows our focus.
One of the most powerful tools educators have is asking ourselves “How do I know?” We must interrogate evidence we come across even in our own classrooms.
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.
As AE’s President, I am delighted and humbled to follow in the footsteps of Grant Wiggins and Denise Wilbur in this next chapter for Authentic Education.
