May 11, 2017 @ 3:00 pm - 5:00 pm
New Faculty Workshop: Introduction to Using Backwards Design to Develop Courses and Curricula/Setting Clear Expectations
In this workshop, new faculty will learn about the concept of Understanding by Design (UBD) (Wiggins & McTighe, 2005), which is also referred to as backwards design or backwards planning. This workshop will introduce new faculty to concepts that will be further developed in the New Faculty Institute which will occur 6/19-6/20/17 in the Faculty Commons. Hands on exploration of UBD will take place during this first workshop, as well as discussion about the theoretical foundation for UBD. New faculty are encouraged to attend this introductory workshop in order to gain an understanding of the work that will take place during the New Faculty Institute.
