To Backwards Plan [S2 E52]
You asked, and we answered! You wanted to know a bit more about BACKWARDS PLANNING, so we’re here to help you out! In today’s episode, we look at backwards planning through the three most common types of questions we saw from you over in Instagram land:
ASSESSMENTS
This is where it all begins. The end goal = the summative assessment. When you begin the backwards planning process, this is where you need to be confident, secure, and organized.
STANDARDS
When we talk about backwards planning, assessments AND standards are intertwined. The assessment is the performance task, but your standards typically come in to plan as components to your rubric.
FLEXIBILITY
Here at Brave New Teaching, we believe in the magical fairy land of a focused, structured, and well-paced curriculum map, but also the adjustable flexibility that is needed when teaching real humans.
We hope this episode was helpful and gave you some direction to get started in your backwards planning journey. If you’re ready for more, we’d love to talk to you more about this in our course Curriculum Rehab!
