**UbD Unit Feedback Form** Teacher: Course: Date:  ||  ||     **Exceeds Expectations** ||  || Exceeds Expectations There is substantial evidence of effective backward design. Planning is inclusive of well-developed EUs (Enduring Understandings) & EQs (Essential Questions). The UbD model, and W.H.E.R.E.T.O. strategy are evident in construction of a rigorous & relevant learning plan.  || Adequate Evidence of backward design is apparent. Planning includes EUs and EQs in the emerging stages. The UbD model and W.H.E.R.E.T.O. strategy fall within the developmental stages and have assisted in the construction of a moderately rigorous & relevant learning plan.  || Needs Revision Evidence of backward design is minimal. EUs and EQs are written, yet lack focus and/or miss the "Big Idea" target. The Learning Plan is unclear and/or activities do not guide students to uncover the appropriate EUs and EQs of the UbD Unit Plan.  || ||  || Exceeds Expectations There is substantial evidence that students will be made aware of what they will be learning, performance goals, and EQs. The students will be given ample opportunity to apply the aforementioned to their own experiences.  || Adequate It is somewhat evident that students will have an awareness of what they will be learning, performance goals, and EQs.

These activities have the potential to be differentiated when necessary. Activities are varied in a manner that will engage and accommodate the differing interests, styles, and abilities of all learners. The sequence of the learning activities has been organized in a manner that will maximize student engagement and productivity.  || Adequate Learning activities have a moderate level of diversity throughout the unit. Potential for some differentiation is present. Activities are varied in a manner that will engage and accommodate the differing interests, styles, and abilities of MOST learners.

The following are clearly apparent: Diagnostic, Formative, and Summative Assessment. Tasks reflect the use of G.R.A.S.P.S. and provide opportunities for students to exhibit their understandings. Many opportunities exist for feedback to both teacher and students concerning progress toward desired results. The assessments are tied to the EU and EQs. <span style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 8pt; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Arial Unicode MS';"> || Adequate Performance Tasks reflect many of the Facets of Understanding.
