The Wexner Foundation Curriculum Design Tree

The Wexner Foundation Curricular Design Tree provides an interactive view of the three major approaches to curricular design:

• Backwards Design
• Emergent Design
• Problem Based Design

The tree guides educators through an intentional ideation process for these approaches. 

This roadmap also includes a link to a Digital and Non-Digital Tools Inventory, which allows educators to consider which tools best support a curriculum's goals. 

The Tree and Inventory were created in collaboration with Mindy Gold of EdTech MMG.
