Introduction Understanding by Design
===Welcome to our Stage One Understanding by Design Wiki page. When teachers first encounter UbD, many are skeptical, believing it is only another new fad or new terminology for the same old practices. However, once teachers go through the UbD process, they become believers. The “ backward design” concept central to UbD allows us to focus on the most important knowledge and skills that we want to impart to our students.===

In Stage 1 the desired results can be identified by reflections in the following areas:

 * ===**Establish Goals - These are the requirements set for teachers by national, state, or district standards and our curriculum.**===
 * ===**Enduring Understandings- These are the big ideas that we want students to remember forever.**===
 * ===**Essential Questions -These are open ended thought provoking questions to guide instruction and inquiry **===
 * ===**Knowledge and Skills -T hese are the more discrete objectives that we want students to know and be able to do. What key knowledge  and skills will the learner acquire as a result of this activity? What should learners be able to do as a result of such knowledge? **===
