In designing learning experiences, which of the following would involve discussing curricular standards with other colleagues?

Backward design is an instructional planning approach that starts with the end goals or desired outcomes and then works backward to create lessons and assessments. While it may involve consideration of curricular standards, it does not inherently focus on collaborative discussions with colleagues, making it more of a solitary planning strategy.

Cognitive development refers to the progression and changes in a child’s ability to think and learn over time. While understanding cognitive development can inform teaching practices, it does not directly involve collaboration with colleagues regarding curricular standards, as it is more centered on individual student growth rather than collective planning.

Professional development encompasses various activities aimed at improving educators' skills and knowledge. Although it may involve discussions about standards, it is typically broader and not necessarily focused on collaboration with colleagues around curricular standards as its primary purpose.
