Chapter 5 Teaching to the individual, working with the group

This chapter had several valid points, however what stood out to me most was "Getting all kinds of students to open up in class creates an atmosphere where they can learn together even through they may have different academic backgrounds"(89). It is very important for teachers to reach children at all different levels. When the teacher is able to reach everyone is when the class starts to expand, grow, and develop together. Learning together is a part of life and people will have to work with other people throughout their entire lives so it is important to understand different learning styles and different points of view.

I believe that the classrooms which were most successful in my high school career
were the classes which included everyone and got every ones attention. The more my classmates put their input into conversation the more other students could feed off of and add to. Someones ideas can turn into goals and reality when everyone is contributing. When students open ideas to other students it helps for the classroom to gain knowledge and see others point.
