TEACHING FOR UNDERSTANDING

Document

• How might student individuality and creativity aid understanding? 
• Having students make connections to what they are learning to past experiences will allow them to better conceptualize the subject and retain the information.
• How might individuality and creativity complicate teaching and learning for understanding?
• If we are trying to better relate what we teach to the student for deeper thinking and extrapolation, not all students have had positive experiences in which they can recall upon. Also teaching for understanding requires more activity, possibly more group work among the students. Not all students thrive or do well in groups or social settings.
