Bringing+It+All+Together


 * 1) Analyze the original “You Are What You Eat” unit to determine which of the nine essential goals of UbD and DI it exemplifies and which it does not.
 * 2) Now look at suggested modifications for the original unit. Which of the nine essential goals of UbD and DI do the modifications address? What value is added to the unit in an academically diverse class when both the goals of UbD and DI are a part of teacher planning and instruction?
 * 3) Chapter 9 presents some observable indicators of classrooms in which teachers proficiently use the principles of both models
 * 4) As you think about the indicators, which of them seem important to supporting the success of each student in academically diverse school populations?
 * 5) Which seem of minimal importance in such settings? Note any of the indicators that would be difficult to achieve without a strong and enduring emphasis on understanding-based curriculum and/or attention to learner needs.
 * 6) Note also any of the indicators that seem to you to be just a part of rather than //something separate from// desirable teaching practice.
 * 7) Based on these indicators: In which areas is your teaching strongest? In which areas would you like to improve?
