Integrating: Chapter 6

Chapter 6: Responsive teaching is key to creating a differentiated learning environment. As a teacher you must be flexible in your lesson plans to allow room for other activities or slightly altered activities. This flexibility allows for your students to be fully engaged throughout the lesson/ unit. This flexibility can mean a multitude of things; extended due dates, providing resources for students and background activities for those students who finish faster. This is crucial as a teacher to be flexible in the classroom as it will help you in classroom management. Allowing students to move around and do different activities will also help cover different learning styles.
