According to the author programs and courses should be conceived in terms of essential questions, enduring understanding, key performances and rubrics. I believe that the programs I have read did not include all these elements. It is very difficult to follow the approach established in this book, although it can be considered as an important way of visualizing the big picture.
The element I considered has been left behind in programs or courses is mainly “essential questions”, I assume that teacher ask themselves these kinds of questions, but they do not considered when writing down programs or courses.
What I consider important to include are the course understanding, the course skills and rubrics.
I agree with you. Some teachers are concerned about how they can improve their practices. But , I think it is not a matter of individuals. This has to do with the STATE. Education is a political issue.
