What problem does it solve?

Backward design helps educators avoid misaligned curricula by starting with the intended learning outcomes and working backward to assessments and learning experiences.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Enables outcome-first curriculum planning for 1-2 day workshops
• Guides alignment of outcomes, assessments, and activities using the UbD framework
• Provides a structured workflow: define outcomes, design assessments, plan activities, validate alignment
• Supports practical validation through a backward design checklist and templates
