Fullfilling the Promise, Pages 120-162

What Is It All About?
This reading gave great examples to creating a differentiated classroom. There are so many ways to make all your students in your classroom feel welcome, safe, and loved in your classroom and meeting all of your students needs. This chapter gave many ways to help students learn no matter what level they are on.

What Did I Like Most?
I especially like the idea of Tiering. We had talked a lot about this in class, but it was hard for me to grasp the concept. Tiering helps student who are on different readiness levels work on a level of difficulty that is appropriately challenging for them as an individual. Tiering helps the teacher to find progress in each student and how far they have come. Tiering helps the student to work at their own level and at their own pace.

How It Applies To Me
So much from this chapter is useful to a future teacher. I want to be able to use each of these strategies to help meet the needs of all my students.
