Featuring a clear 3-stage planning process and downloadable templates, it helps teachers focus on meaningful, transferable learning aligned with educational standards. Highly rated and widely used, this guide transforms curriculum planning into a strategic, outcome-driven journey. ## Description The Understanding by Design Guide to Creating High-Quality Units offers instructional modules on the basic concepts and elements of Understanding by Design (UbD), the "backward design" approach used by thousands of educators to create curriculum units and assessments that focus on developing students' understanding of important ideas. The eight modules are organized around the UbD Template Version 2.0 and feature components similar to what is typically provided in a UbD design workshop, including— * Discussion and explanation of key ideas in the module; * Guiding exercises, worksheets, and design tips; * Examples of unit designs; * Review criteria with prompts for self-assessment; and * A list of resources for further information. This guide is intended for K-16 educators—either individuals or groups—who may have received some training in UbD and want to continue their work independently; those who've read Understanding by Design and want to design curriculum units but have no access to formal training; graduate and undergraduate students in university curriculum courses; and school and district administrators, curriculum directors, and others who facilitate UbD work with staff. Users can go through the modules in sequence or skip around, depending on their previous experience with UbD and their preferred curriculum design style or approach. Unit creation, planning, and adaptation are easier than ever with the accompanying downloadable resources, including the UbD template set up as a fillable PDF form, additional worksheets, examples, and FAQs about the module topics that speak to UbD novices and veterans alike. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #55,916 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #30 in Curricula (Books) #33 in Educational Psychology (Books) #119 in Educational Certification & Development | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 385 Reviews | ## Images ![The Understanding by Design Guide to Creating High-Quality Units - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61NbGT18XoL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by C***S on July 15, 2014* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by E***Z on November 6, 2011* ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by F***N on April 11, 2024* ## Frequently Bought Together - The Understanding by Design Guide to Creating High-Quality Units - Understanding By Design - The Understanding by Design Guide to Advanced Concepts in Creating and Reviewing Units --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/1200135-the-understanding-by-design-guide-to-creating-high-quality-units](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/1200135-the-understanding-by-design-guide-to-creating-high-quality-units) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
