The book opens by analyzing the logic of backward design as an alternative to coverage and activity-oriented plans.

The facets combine with backward design to provide a powerful, expanded array of practical tools and strategies for designing curriculum, instruction, and assessments that lead students at all grade levels to genuine understanding.
