Sulamot seeks to assist teachers in defining their goals in Mishna and designing their lessons, utilizing the Understanding by Design (UBD) Model. In the UBD framework, the Standards establish what we want students to know and do. The Enduring Understandings provide instructors with the key ideas critical to the Mishna that students should retain. The Essential Questions prompt students to scrutinize and analyze the understandings and aid students in constructing meaning.
