Wrap It Up

     So this is it, the end, the conclusion of my bogs.  How much have I learned by reading and writing about Fulfilling the Promise Of The Differentiated Classroom?  I have learned more than I have ever learned from an assigned reading before.  Why did I learn so much?  I learned because, I found it interesting, I found informational, and I found it to be important.  This book does what it talks about. It presented the information in a way that was interesting and applicable to things that will be going on in my world.  I was able to make the connections to the things I know will be important.  This book not only told me good ways to differentiate instruction, but also showed my what the practices look like when they are being used in a classroom.

     Relationships and connections with students have always been of interest to me and I have always worked at a way of defining the type of relationship that will benefit my classroom.  This book did a great job of helping me to define my feelings and showing why it was important in a differentiated classroom.  We must know and understand our students in order to differentiate for them in order to meet their needs.

     The title of this post was "Wrap It Up"  I think that is a little deceiving.  This may be the end of my post and I may have completed the book, but to be effective this must be the beginning.  In order to take what I have learned in this book and during this course I must continue to learn, know my students, and find ways to respond to their needs.  If I am going to be a great teacher then this can only be the beginning of my knowledge.  

Let Me Begin!!!
