Chapter 7: Differentiated Instruction--Fitting the Lesson to the Learner

I felt that the most important part of this chapter would be the essential features of differentiated instruction. In this there were five parts. Early and Frequent Evaluations of student's was the first one. I completely agreed with what this section was saying with the quizzes and tests and other forms of evaluations being used frequently. The next section, Adjusting the Complexity or Range of Assignments, this again is important because sometimes as teachers we focus in so much on the struggling kids that we forget to alter our assignments for the gifted kids. The last three are self explanatory and with these I also agree. I think that a good key phrase that sums up this chapter would be to vary ones teaching techniques slightly and often. If you do this then you will reach the maximum number of students.
