UBDDI Chapter 2

Teachers must use different strategies to help them get to know their students. In the chapter, the importance of getting to know students was highlighted because knowing a student will help a teacher to discover how that student learns. I really liked the suggestion of having students answer a couple of questions about the class material at the end of the class. Knowing what the students understand, what they do not understand, and how they answer the question could be the first step into the right direction for that group of students. The book emphasized the importance of thinking of the students needs first. It is important to have a plan, but plans can change in response to the needs of students.
