Backward design is the idea that Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe support as an effective teaching method (https://www.edutopia.org/pdfs/resources/wiggins-mctighe-backward-design-why-backward-is-best.pdf) They offer a flipped perspective on the tradicional teaching design and defend focusing on goals. What is the purpose of your class? What do we want students to achieve?
They propose a simple but useful analogy. Imagine you are planning a journey. Obviously, the places you want to visit must be the key point, therefore, the planning will gravitate around it.
According to this idea, they propose three steps when designing a teaching strategy:
1. Establish goals "What's the point?".
2. Determine appropriate evidence that assure the achievement of the suggested objetives,
3. Plan the unit or the course.
