Unit designs give teachers an overarching view of the learning goals, tasks and assessments needed to impact learning. The aim of pacing guides is to provide teachers with the general topics and length of time necessary to be spent on learning goals in order to help teachers stay on track. However, do pacing guides really help teachers? The reality and research of pacing guides are that these provide more pressure for teachers and make them feel even more overwhelmed before ever starting the course or unit. Very importantly, they fail to include the depth of tasks and learning for students, the most important focus and stakeholder in education. Therefore, the very critical question here is, are pacing guides truly benefiting teachers and students?
