The Understanding By Design (UbD) framework is a planning resource that supports the design of curriculum, assessment, and instruction. UbD leads teachers through three stages when designing learning experiences:

1. Identify desired results (understanding and application of learning),

2. Determine assessment evidence (evaluation), and

3. Plan learning experiences and instruction (i.e., backward-planning)

By utilizing UbD, teachers can effectively engage learners in developing their understanding and application of key topics and content.
