Our bookstore is not yet ready for its grand opening, but soon this will be the place to go for books in the Understanding by Design series and for large-scale UbD templates perfect for workshop sessions and gallery walks. Also, watch this space for the debut of Big Ideas Press, featuring useful titles on unit design. In our Designing from the Standards series, we will offer state-specific guides to creating UbD units using the standards and other state resources from your state. In another series, watch for such titles as Science by Design and World Languages by Design, featuring tips on designing UbD units within a single subject area, packed with dozens of Essential Questions and Understandings, as well as model units at many grade levels.
This bookstore will also be the home of “Big Ideas to Go,” a growing collection of downloadable MP3 files on topics related to our themes. Soon, you’ll be able to grab a cup of coffee, jump in the car, and enjoy ten minutes of professional development as you drive to school in the morning.
