Educators gain a strong understanding of the major concepts through their work in levels one and two, but will need to apply what they have learned in a structured and supportive environment in order to refine what they know, are able to do, and understand. This requires both support for teachers as they continue to develop unit designs and for administrators as they continue to address implementation issues through their action plan.

CREC staff provides on-site support to facilitate curriculum development and to address implementation concerns. This enables participants to adapt UbD to individual school needs and master more effective curriculum design.

This training can include (but is not limited to):

• Adapting the UbD template to fit the needs of an individual district
• Building personnel capacity to facilitate peer review
• Developing opportunities for teachers to collaborate across grade levels and subject areas
• Connecting UbD to school evaluation and improvement planning
• Publishing units in print form and electronically.
