Chapter 7: Thinking about Teaching and Learning

I like the idea of a Student-Focused Classroom because I think that an encouragement on hands-on activities is really important. I also think that activities are the best way to remember certain subjects because you associate a subject with a (hopefully) good experience. (286)

I like that the Socratic Method puts an emphasis on the connection between society and teaching, for if all of society if taught poorly, then society is going to be much less successful. (264)

I also really like the thoughts of Ralph W. Tyler because his four step framework is something that is very straight forward, but seems to be very practical and effective. (266)
