Chapter 10

This chapter discussed moving forward to integrate UbD and DI. It expressed how the best place to start is by really figuring out our desired results and finding that "big idea." This is found in stage one, which, focuses on engaging student interest in school and creating higher quality and meaningful work for each student. Stage two discussed the teachers job. It is important for them to decided how they are going to assess each student and cater to their learning styles. It also emphasized the culmination of knowledge in a project or activity. Stage three is when the teacher thinks bout how to get their students to the chosen goal. It reminds the teacher to pay attention to goals and methods of assessment, because those can make or break the learner. The chapter also discussed different methods and practices for teachers. One of which was finding a parter to work and plan lessons with. This way the students wil be learning two different subjects in two different classrooms. The overall main idea of the chapter was to keep the desired results in sight.


We all liked how this chapter summarized the major points of the book. It outlined what we have been doing in class this semester. One helpful idea was the suggestion to take this book and share it with others. Teaching should be a team based effort. We know when we are in our own classrooms we will use differentiated instruction because it really helps students learn more.
