Chapter Two: What Really Matters In Teaching? (The Students)

Chapter two of Integrating Differentiated Instruction and Understanding by Design describes how important it is for educators to link the basic human needs of students and curriculum. High school students struggle with personal barriers to learning, identity crises, and learning disabilities. Therefore, students need teachers to have the skills to adapt to varying individuals. To be a successful teacher, I will have to adapt to learning needs and work constantly to establish positive relationships with my students. Positive relationships will be able to contribute to students' energy for learning. However, although I will exercise differentiation, I will make sure that my teaching strategies will work to the benefit of many students by using different instructions likely to serve multiple needs in one single lesson.
