UbD/DI Chapter 4


          The book had been repetitively expressing the importance of being vitally clear about what essential content is.  If you aren’t expressing the big ideas of the content clearly then it’s like not even teaching to a student at all.  I completely concur with this.  I have been sitting in a classroom before with a teacher that has not express the ideas effectively enough for me to understand and it is very frustrating for someone who actually wants to learn.  I will try my absolute best, as a teacher to keep in mind the different learning needs of each individual and to express concepts clearly to tailor their specific needs.  I know that even though I am a teacher I am still a learner and continuing to add ways to amend and quality of both my curriculum and instructions. 
           
            I also understand that as a teacher I need to become flexible, help all students any way possible, be responsible for my students learning success, and to continually develop as a teacher.  I could tell as a student which teacher were willing to go the extra distance to meet my needs as a student and those teacher are who I gave my best effort for.  I want to be that teacher that anyone can go to for help and it will make me extremely happy to know that I am getting students best efforts.  Being clear and flexible makes learning much more easily and enticing to a student.  Knowing your teacher is there with you every step of the way is the ultimate security blanket.
