Backward Teaching
is a powerful and effective tool for helping you design your courses in ways that ensure significant
coherence and positive learning outcomes.
is a way of designing lesson plans, courses or curricula that assures that learning activities are aligned
with objectives.
it works backwards from learning goals through learning objectives and outcomes to lesson plans or
learning activities.
the process is typically circular—after the lessons or courses are delivered, the instructor assesses how
well the learning goals were achieved and then makes modifications to the goals and/or learning
activities.
Then the cycle repeats.
