In this book, the authors provide a clear depiction of both the theoretical foundations and the practical elements putting everything together for the construction of the design of learning. The different chapters follow their three-staged backward design idea which I consider useful for a full understanding of this innovative way of planning and designing a curriculum %K Understanding by design %K Writers %K curriculum %U https://revistas.udistrital.edu.co/index.php/calj/article/view/11490
