Welcome to Curriculum Backward Design at The Case HQ, where we guide educators and instructional designers in creating purposeful, results-driven curricula. Backward design is a strategic approach to curriculum development, where learning outcomes, assessments, and instructional strategies are carefully planned to align with desired goals. This course is ideal for those looking to design effective learning experiences that foster student success and engagement.
What is Curriculum Backward Design?
Curriculum Backward Design is an approach to curriculum development that begins with the end in mind. Rather than designing lessons and activities first, you begin by identifying desired learning outcomes and goals. Then, you plan the assessments and instructional strategies that will lead students to achieve those goals. This approach ensures that every part of the curriculum is aligned and purposeful, making learning more focused and impactful.
