I'VE ALWAYS CALLED IT BACKMAPPING. THE IDEA IS TO DECIDE WHERE YOU WANT THE KIDS TO BE AT THE END OF A UNIT, OR QUARTER , WHATEVER TIME FRAME. FROM THERE, YOU WORK BACKWARDS TO PLAN FROM THE END TO THE BEGINNING. WHERE I COME FROM IT'S MOSTLY USED TO BE SURE YOU GET ALL THOSE STANDARDS TAUGHT (NOT NECESSARILY LEARNED) BEFORE TESTING. IT'S EASY TO PUT IT ON PAPER, BUT I FIND IT TO BE TRICKY TO STICK TO. KIM
