Building World Class Learning Experiences for students in High School Mathematics through Backwards Design: Thurs AM

In this professional learning session, educators will explore how to create world-class learning experiences for secondary mathematics students through the framework of Backwards Design. By starting with the end in mind—focusing on desired outcomes, key concepts, and essential skills—teachers will learn how to align curriculum, instruction, and assessment to ensure deep understanding and student success.

Through hands-on activities and collaborative discussions, participants will discover how to design meaningful lessons that engage students, foster critical thinking, and promote mastery of mathematical concepts. The session will cover techniques for identifying big ideas, crafting clear learning objectives, and designing assessments that truly reflect student learning.

By the end of the session, educators will be equipped with a cohesive and impactful mathematics curriculum that leads to lasting student achievement and prepares them for real-world problem solving. Whether you are designing a single unit or a complete course, this session will help you build effective, student-centered learning experiences with lasting impact.
