context_page_description: Backward design is a method of designing an educational curriculum by setting goals before choosing instructional methods and forms of assessment. Backward design of curriculum typically involves three stages:
  Identify the results desired
  What the students should know, understand, and be able to do
  Consider the goals and curriculum expectations
  Focus on the "big ideas"
  Determine acceptable levels of evidence that support that the desired results have occurred
  What teachers will accept as evidence that student understanding took place
  Consider culminating assessment tasks and a range of assessment methods
  Design activities that will make desired results happen
  What knowledge and skills students will need to achieve the desired results
  Consider teaching methods, sequence of lessons, and resource materials
  Backward design challenges "traditional" methods of curriculum planning. In traditional curriculum planning, a list of content that will be taught is created and/or selected. In backward design, the educator starts with goals, creates or plans out assessments and finally makes lesson plans. Supporters of backward design liken the process to using a "road map".
