Assessing Chapter 1

Abstract: This chapter focuses on differentiated instruction as a means of teaching students. DI is a way to help students learn by provided them with different methods of learning. Without differentiation, students would not be able to reach their full potential. It can be thought of as a crutch, a helpful tool to help students learn. Some people think that differentiation is not necessary and that it is making it too easy for students. This isn’t true; it is just helping the students learn in all different ways. It maximizes the students’ ability to learn information.

Reflection: I think differentiation is a very important tool. It is unusual to think that every time a teacher lets a student retake a test or presents them with an alternative example that is using DI. This chapter was just a good overview of DI.
