In this episode, I sit down with Jay McTighe, internationally recognized educator and co-author of Understanding by Design, one of the most influential frameworks in curriculum and instructional design. Jay shares insights from more than four decades of experience as a teacher, curriculum developer, and thought leader.

We delve into the heart of backward design, exploring what it truly means to plan with the end in mind, and how educators can move beyond “coverage” to create meaningful learning experiences that foster understanding, transfer, and student engagement. Whether you’re a classroom teacher, school leader, or policymaker, this conversation offers practical takeaways and big-picture wisdom for rethinking how we design learning that lasts.
