Plans for Designing Curriculum (PDF)
The Learner Teams worked through a process for developing curriculum. These materials will help guide you through the curriculum development process either on your own or with a group of colleagues.

About This Curriculum Design
The “backward design” process used in this session is based on the book and workshop series, Understanding by Design by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe. The book is published by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development.

Additional ideas were developed through the national education reform project called Transforming Education Through the Arts Challenge (TETAC), which was funded by the Walter H. Annenberg Foundation and the Getty Education Institute for the Arts.
