27. Planning Understanding by Design
28. We do “Agile” so we don’t have to plan! Planning Understanding by Design
29. Planning Understanding by Design No Plan No Goals No Point
30. Planning Understanding by Design Without a plan and a goal you can never finish.

39. Planning Understanding by Design In teaching, we do the same thing
40. Planning Understanding by Design A strong learning goal is learner-centric, not process-centric.
