Chapter 9, Bringing it all Together: Curriculum and Instruction Through the Lens of UbD and DI, talks again about the essential goals of UbD and DI. It explains that together they describe a comprehensive was of thinking about curriculum, assessment, and instruction. The most important part of the chapter for me was when it said “In teaching, it is necessary to precede form considering where students begin the unit in relation to the desired results.” I plan on using this in my classroom because it makes complete sense. If I have a class where everyone is already very knowledgeable in the area of a unit then the desired result is not going to be far off, whereas if I have a class that is really struggling in the area of my unit then it might take me longer then expected to reach the desired results. Being able to read where my students are is very important in making my lessons and units as well.
