Reading Forward, Planning Backwards: Applying UBD To Reading Instruction

The educational world has been “UBDized” and schools struggle to keep up. In the struggle, reading instruction may have taken the back seat. This need not be.

Understanding by Design is the framework recently adopted in many private schools in the country with the aim of enhancing classroom that teaches not only content but life lessons that learners would use beyond the school. It is a given reality that teacher play a critical role in the implementation of this instructional paradigm, and it is but necessary that our teachers undergo training for the effective implementation of UBD.

In this session, we will integrate the principles of UBD to develop and implement effective reading lessons that will enable them to create performance-task activities which will target the enhancement of reading skills. The program is especially designed for general education practitioners, school principals, and educators.

This seminar aims to enhance the teacher’s ability to use the general principles of understanding by design (UBD) to develop and implement effective reading lessons. It aims to help teachers apply the principles of backward design to set meaningful goals for literacy learning. With this, the seminar will proceed to assisting teachers plan strategically.

The seminar’s content and topics, the theoretical and practical, are grounded on current research-based findings and the lecturer’s professional experience.
