Key Ideas:

Knowing how the three brain networks function suggests different approaches for teaching information (what), for teaching skills and strategies (how), and for teaching students to love learning (why)..
Individualizing the ways that students work toward goals is feasible if a variety of tools and media are available.
Another approach to individualizing is to build flexibility directly into the curriculum, using embedded, flexible supports. CAST is researching and developing such responsive tools and materials.
