Kim A.: I read this in conjunction with a class. Both together were definitely helpful. But the book provides a lot of insight into how to be deliberate about doing things that matter. I’ve been teaching well for thirty years, but I’m about to get better. :)

Nerdy-Birdy101: I had to read this textbook for a Social Studies content course for my Masters in Secondary Education course. Overall, the process of UbD is a brilliant process that is helpful for many teachers. I think the tips that the textbook offers are great and can be helpful for all teachers. The only critique that I have for this textbook is that it is extremely wordy and they jazz up the language at times to make it seem more academic. It would be cool to have the authors write a series of UbD for the different content areas, so all the examples and frameworks would be directed for that specialty. I know that I would have loved to have more history or social studies examples.

ABCKids: Definitely a must have for any educator. Wiggins and McTighe are almost the pioneers in this field and thought of backwards design (Robert Tyler first thought of the concept in his published work from 1947) and their concepts are easy to implement and are what I would call a no-brainer. As in it should be something that all teachers are already implementing in their lesson and unit planning already. However, we all know that it is not already in the forefront of every educators mind or else there would not be a need for this book. This book will definitely teach the educator or potential educator how to start to think about the goals of a lesson and then to plan the lessons on how to get each student to those specific goals (backwards design). It is an easy concept and once understood and fully grasped by the educator he/she can start to educate their students in a way in which the students will benefit by truly gaining meaningful knowledge from the course they are taking with the educator and be able to apply the knowledge and demonstrate understanding.

Alex Quigley: A really useful book on backward curriculum design. It encompasses a great deal of theory and research, but it is presented in an accessible style. This is a very useful book for any teacher or school leader devising a curriculum.
