Chapter 1

Summary: The chapter introduces the approach of teaching with differentiated instruction. This is the method in which the teacher adapts the lessons to benefit individual students. This type of instruction does not make things easier for students but does make things more fair and effective for all students so that they can learn in an equal manner.

Connections: We all decided that the way in which the method was described was done effectively. We all also liked the number of examples that were given to us to illustrate the chapter's contents. The book seems to be relatively successful in achieving it's explanation of Differentiated instruction by modeling it in the chapter itself.

This chapter functioned well on an introductory level. It gave us the basics to differentiated instruction and why it is useful to us as teachers. I agree with this blog on how helpful the method is to students.
