I want to be honest when I say that the reading assignment kind of made me frustrated. I do think a lot of the reading I will be doing in various classes this semester will make me frustrated because as Dr Bryan Waite told us we should be thinking as we read is, "Isn't this how every teacher should be?" Thats what I thought through the reading.
A few of the ideas that I pulled out of the reading is one the questions that I should ask myself as a teacher of being responsive of my teaching are:
Who I teach?
What I teach?
Where I teach?
How I teach?
In order to be a responsive teacher it "takes all these parts" to understand my students needs.
Another good idea I was able to pull from the text is about having a learning profile. The pro's and con's of having a learning profile is that its great to know the way a student learns the best but also a con is to make sure you let the child to learn any other ways the student is able to learn. Allow the student to change.

Okay... I think you're used Dr. Waite's direction a little bit out of context. Yes, every teacher SHOULD be doing what you read about in this chapter.... (but they don't... so how are we going to assure that YOU do?). This introduction attempted to explain what differentiation is by "attaching" the explanation to things that all teachers (should) know and want.
In your reflections here on out, please take time to ask YOURSELF what the statements you're reading mean to YOU. Please explain what you are learning, and make connections to experiences you've had or beliefs you've had. Find quotes that you really want to remember and tell me about them. This is your opportunity to show me what you are learning from the reading. 2 points.
