Authentic Education
Authentic Education is a company that offers training and support to schools looking to implement school change, improve student assessment, and align curricula using the Understanding By Design framework designed by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe. In terms of services, the company offers workshops, web conferences, action research, and other on and off site services. Specific to curriculum mapping, the company also provides an online curriculum design software called Curriculum Framer that facilitates the creation and maintenance of a school curriculum. While this method of curriculum mapping is costly, I really like many of the ideas behind the Understanding By Design framework and I think the types of services provided by this company would be useful if used by an entire school district.
