Building Units

One thing I really struggled with while building my unit plan is identifying the learning objectives and how each one helps students satisfy or meet the standard. I think some advise for future students going through unit planning would be to approach it using the backwards design. Focus on what the standard wants students to know and identify the different ways students can get there. I think for me in particular I really struggled with this because I was overthinking each aspect like the learning objectives and the cognitive processes but I think taking a step back really helped. The biggest takeaway for me was using that backwards planning and learning how to really breakdown standards into the objectives that are approachable for students.
