Where creative, articulated design brings learners and teachers together.

This framework aligns Understanding by Design (Mc Tighe & Wiggins, 2005) with the World Readiness Standards (ACTFL, 2006/2012/2015) for 
Intercultural Competence, facilitating Global or World Language Education/MFL articulation in any school, district, or university curriculum.
