Synthesis of Chapter 2 DI/UD
Synopsis:
This chapter discussed successful teaching and how it is extremely important for the material being taught to relate to students in some way. The chapter discusses several different ways in which the material can be tailored to the students learning aptitudes and how to teach responsively. Teaching responsively allows the teacher to respond appropriately to the different needs of different students. Among the most effective ways to teach responsively would be the use of group activities.
Connections and Reflections:
Readers were both reassured, and in agreement with the text. All of the readers were glad that successful teaching does require a certain amount of personal involvement in the class. A few noted some of the quotes that they liked including “teaching is an art that calls on its practitioners to work simultaneously in multiple media, with multiple elements”. Everyone agreed that finding new ways to relate to the students helps the students and the teachers.
