Planning Backwards Templates BUNDLE!

Fellow teachers, are you interested in learning more about universal design for learning UDL? Looking to solidify the basics of planning backwards for education as you customize your instruction the students in front of you? This supper bundle of teacher planning templates will have you backwards designing like a pro in NO time!

I've taken my three best-selling backwards planning resources and combined them into this money-saving bundle because I truly believe that YOU are the best expert on YOUR students.

Here's how these three products fit together to make your Unit Design seamless - and fast!

1) The Unpacked Standards Template helps you get to the core of the standards so you know EXACTLY what is expected of your students at any time.

2) The Backwards Design Template for Cross-Curricular Unit Planning helps you put those broken down standards to great use as you design comprehensive units that are tailored to your students in this particular time.

3) The Formal Observation Lesson Plan Template will guide you into the the nitty-gritty of quality lesson-level planning. Will you use this for every lesson you teach? No! That said, it includes guiding questions and student-centered practices that will stretch your teaching practice in extraordinary ways. Plus, it doesn't hurt to nail those formal observations and wow your administrators :-)

Here's exactly what you get in this Bundle:

1. Unpacked Standards Template:

✅ A break-down of the WHY: Why do great educators deconstruct standards?

✅ An annotated guide to the HOW: How do you unpack standards?

✅ A easy-to-use two-page template you'll use over and over to deconstruct standards!

✅ 2 examples of already unpacked standards to get you started!
