Chapter two of Differentiated Instruction and Understanding by Design discusses the importance of what matters in teaching and what we want our students to understand. The goal of this chapter was to explore ways that different learners shape how we teach. It did this by giving actual scenarios that proved some of the best laid plans of teachers often go astray because of outside factors in their students lives. Each student faces a different problem; it is up to us as educators to use responsive teaching. Responsive teaching is the method of making modifications in a classroom that helps all the students get access to important ideas and skills that they are able to understand and demonstrate. To help the students reach their full potential, it is imperative that we as educators become responsive and offer the students more ways to explore and express their learning by using their personal needs.
