Sometimes, lately, I have become overwhelmed by all of the "new" "cutting edge" ways of doing things, that I have lost sight of some of the "classics" that need to be at the base of what I do. I was really inspired by the idea of backwards design (UbD) when I last wrote curriculum -- however, I have not really used it since. This is a great interview, along with other links, that brings me back to what UbD is and how to apply it more usefully in my classroom!
