This chapter showed me that there are different needs and requirements a teacher should perform in order to maximize student learning in the classroom. The way this chapter was structured makes it seem like teachers need to be really good at a lot of different things, sort of a “jack-of-all-trades,” but I think the key to this is understanding the concepts behind each idea. I like that the scenarios actually give examples for how each teacher used one of the concepts in his or her own classroom. Instead of giving a generalized explanation, there are concrete examples that someone can use as a basis for his or her instruction. I like how one of the teachers spent time working with each student, regardless of the ability level of the student. I will definitely use this in my classroom, especially during writing workshops when many students could use the one on one instruction.
