Grant P. Wiggins

Grant Wiggins is widely recognized for his significant contributions to educational theory, particularly for co-developing the "Understanding by Design" framework. This framework emphasizes teaching for understanding and designing curriculum backward from desired results.

Grant Wiggins frequently collaborated with Jay McTighe, most notably on the influential "Understanding by Design" series of books and resources. Their partnership was central to the development and dissemination of this educational approach.

The 'Understanding by Design' framework, co-created by Grant Wiggins, is a curriculum development model that focuses on designing learning experiences and assessments with the end goals in mind. It encourages educators to identify desired results, determine acceptable evidence of learning, and then plan instructional activities.
