Understanding By Design is a framework for designing curriculum units, performance assessments, and instruction that leads students to deeper understanding of the content.

That is, teachers first determine what the students should know, understand, and be able to do as a result of instruction, and then plan the curriculum, instruction, and assessment around those goals.
