conversations.value: *Winner of a 1999 EdPress Distinguished Achievement Award! *What is understanding and how does it differ from knowing? What do we want students to understand and be able to do? What enduring knowledge is worth understanding? How will we know that students truly understand and can apply knowledge in a meaningful way? How can we design our courses and units to emphasize understanding and "uncoverage" rather than "coverage"? Understanding by Design explores these questions and provides practical solutions for the teacher-designer. The book opens by analyzing the logic of backward design as an alternative to coverage and activity-oriented plans. Though backward from habit, this approach brings more focus and coherence to instruction. The text proposes a multifaceted approach, with the six "facets" of understanding. The facets combine with backward design to provide a powerful, practical framework for designing curriculum, assessment, and instruction.

  My mother died unexpectedly in September of 2008. The entire ordeal was hard for me to grasp emotionally. Later, after she was taken to the emergency room and pronounced, I had a few minutes with her alone, a time that sticks out vividly for me.
  I was so moved by God's electrifying presence that I looked directly at my mother's face, expecting her to open her eyes and breathe. But she didn't. As her body remained in its lifeless state, I felt a wave of embarrassing disappointment; tears began to well up in my eyes.
  My oldest sister and a few other people came into the room. Ashamed and saddened at my defeat, I moved to a side wall and leaned on a counter. God spoke to me there and said verbatim, "I heard you, but that's not what I wanted to do."
  I had mixed emotions at that point, very mixed emotions. Despite the confusion those feelings caused, the Lord's voice allowed me to confirm as truths a couple of notions. One was that my mother wasn't going to receive the miracle of being raised from the dead. The other was that God's timing was for her to leave.

conversations.value: With respect to the adults who didn't receive Godly teachings when they were children, God looks to us as Christians to guide them in a loving manner. Yet, as much as we may try to lead others in the right direction, it remains that person's responsibility to do his part in obedience. Commanding understanding can only have successful results if the listening party is willing to receive.
  I can remember one period of time when my lack of listening led me to no longer want to live. When I was a teenager, I made awful decisions and I felt as if that season of my life would never end. I cried. I prayed, and then I cried some more. I hated hurting God by my crazy, worldly actions. But as much as God and my parents tried to get me to understand that my ways were only hurting myself, I refused to walk in a different direction.
  I got to the point where I asked God one night to kill me in my sleep because I didn't feel worthy of my life. When I awoke the next morning, I was disappointed that God hadn't granted my request. The Holy Spirit later told me that God wasn't going to let me off that easy, and that I had work to do for Him.
  My teenage years felt like a rat race, with me constantly scurrying after the next worldly desire that everyone else was chasing after. Each race left me in more trouble, yearning to commit my life to God's way. But through those mistakes, I learned the value of trusting God's correction over my own. As much as we may want to use our own understanding to guide our lives, adhering to the guidance of God's commands is the only way we will find true peace in this world.
