DI/UBD Chpt 1

Book Title: DI/UBD Chapter: One
There are two areas we covered in our readings. Understanding by design and Differentiated Instruction goes over who, what, where, and how we teach. It is important to cover both models because one helps the other. Chapter one also covers seven axioms to help give instruction to a variety of students. These axioms are guidelines of sorts to help us think about our teaching style. Such things to think about include embracing technology, giving students a chance to explore and apply, review your curriculum, and giving students’ authentic context to apply their knowledge.

Each member of our group has had our own experiences with planned lessons. There are some teachers who have well planned lessons but do not apply them well. there are also some teachers who have been able to work well with planning and working with students. All of us are interested in learning more about these ideas so we may apply them in the classroom.
