Episode 9: The Six Facets of Understanding

This week, I am joined by Xuemeng and Wendy, students from China and Taiwan, respectively, to discuss the six facets of understanding described by Wiggins and McTighe. We also return to UDL and consider how to implement it as part of effective instructional design. Our readings were Chapters 4 of Wiggins and McTighe's Understanding by Design and Chapter 5 of CAST (2014) Universal Design for Learning: Theory and Practice.

Coming up next week: Planning for learning and teaching for understanding. Our readings will be Chapters 9 and 10 of Wiggins and McTighe's Understanding by Design. Tweet your questions at us using #askedt503.
