This chapter made sure to touch on the subject of the connection between the teacher and
the students and most of the chapter was highlighting ways that teachers can strengthen that
connection. Some of the biggest ways that the chapter highlights are, having an understanding of
culture diversity in one’s classroom, making time to make one on one connections with students,
no matter how small they might be, and making sure that student’s interests are tapped upon in
the classroom.
One of the parts of the chapter that really impacted me, was the part where the authors talk about responsive teaching. Responsive teaching is when teachers find the best way for students to access information and establish positive relationships with the students to help them access this information. The chapter then goes on to list many different ways that teachers can establish those relationships and become successful responsive teachers.
I really loved how this chapter gave real world examples of students who provide student variance that we as teachers might have in our classrooms. I also loved how the authors showed us examples of students who had all the potential to be wonderful, successful students in all rights, their might be an outside source that is stopping them from reaching their full potential. This is where the responsive teaching method comes in, by having a good idea of some of the things happening in kid’s lives outside of school, you might help reach out to a student that would otherwise be suffering.

These real world examples of students also provide a look at students who have different
ways of processing information and have different strengths within the classroom, and as
responsive teachers, it’s our job to teach using many different methods to reach out to many
different students.
