chapter 1

Abstract

Chapter one gave us more information on the differentiated instructing, in this chapter the book explains that it is doing what is fair for students, it goes into a lot of information about differentiated instruction and asks if there could be any downsides to it being used in the modern classroom. It also explains to teachers what we must be able to do in our classrooms with our students to be successful in using the differentiated theory of teaching. Some of these things we must do is recognize who our learners are, what could hinder them from leaning, what their abilities are, and also being able to be flexible to accommodate for our students.

Reflection

We all felt that we could understand this chapter really well because of the overlapping of the material to our other books. Being able to read this chapter and really bring together both the Mi theory information and the other information from DI, and be able to apply both to the classroom at the same time really helped consolidate the information. We all also thought that the most important part of this chapter is when it tells teachers to take responsibility for the information and their student’s performances in the classroom. We all thought that this has been lost on many teachers, and that the differentiated theory of learning could help bring that back and revitalize the classroom setting for many teachers.
