Chapter 2: UbD DI

This chapter discussed a lot about how student’s issues and personalities affect the teacher’s lesson plans. That no matter how organized and thought out the plan is, it is always subject to change. It is the hope of the teacher to be able to alter their methods to help the student get a deeper understanding of the material. Responsive teaching was a focus of the chapter in which the aspects of how a particular student learns best was the focus. Working in small groups helps students learn better and targets different levels of learning to specific students. Also, a main focus which I found important was being able to have the ability to teach in multiple ways. This is the only way that one can effectively teach all the students in the classroom. Understanding one’s students is the only way a teacher can adjust their curriculum to fit the needs of every individual.
