Chapter 9 UbD/DI: Bringing It All Together: Curriculum and Instruction Through The Lens of UbD and DI

Chapter nine was about bringing differentiated instruction and understanding by design together. It brought together everything from the previous chapters that we had read, and gave us many useful tips in order to make the two fit together in the classroom setting. The backwards design is very important and key to the whole UbD/DI way of teaching, because it is focused on goals, and it provides flexibility for the teacher to make sure students are learning the way they need. It also provides a place for there to be a lot of summative assessment to happen, where students can check in.
