Chapter 2: What Really Matters in Teaching? (The Students)

The final chapter of this book began by providing examples of students who had once performed well and suddenly encountered difficulties performing in class, thus challenging the teacher to manipulate the curriculum to the students needs. In the case of one of these students, the teacher was able to diagnose an otherwise unseen learning disability. The chapter goes on to explain the methods of teaching responsively, and ways in which teachers may do so on a daily basis.
