Chapter 1: Knowing Students Well


The part that jumped out at me is that you can learn a lot about a student by what they don't do just as much as what they do do.  I never thought to recognize what they are not doing to learn more about them.  

The amount of information a teacher can know about a student in order to make the classroom more comfortable really stood out as the theme to me in this chapter.  Learning about their hobbies, neighborhoods, and daily schedules make it much easier for a teacher to teach.
