Chapter 2 UbD/DI: What Really Matters In Teaching? (The Students)

In this second chapter I learned that not only what we teach, but also who we teach it to is the key ingredient to what matters in teaching. I have been around the inner workings of teaching for many years, since many people in my family are teachers, or work in the schools. So when I read that teacher’s usually indentify “successful” and “unsuccessful” students, I wasn’t very surprised to read that. But it was nice to read ways to avoid becoming those types of teachers. Reading how to be a responsive teacher was very informational, and I liked seeing the ten different ways in which to be a responsive teacher. Those ten ways in being a responsive teacher will be with me when I find myself in a classroom setting.
