Di UbD Chapter 1

Abstract:

Basically the book talks about how Understanding by Design is a curriculum design model, but that Differentiated Instruction is basically a lot of different ways, we, as teachers; can teach to different students. Obviously, no person is alike, so by combining many different kinds of effective teaching methods, you will make the student comprehend more information.
In a nutshell, the chapter says that teachers need to realize who they are teaching, what they need to teach and how to send that message to their students.

Reflection:

Well, this correlates well with the Multiple Intelligences book purely because when they say that students learn differently, they are basically telling us that students have different intelligences. Some students are more hands on, while others are more visual and so on and so forth. If we, as teachers utilize all the different teaching methods and nail every intelligence along the way; then we truly are teaching to the entire class.
