Be prepared to answer these questions:
- How will viewing the curriculum as disabled, rather than students, change the way that you develop lessons?
- Willingham discusses the three properties of thinking, curiosity and how we solve problems. How do these ideas relate to the principles of UDL: what, how and the depth of what we learn?
- What was your reaction to Willingham? How could these ideas affect your practice?
