    This was interesting to consider in terms of cognitive thinking and learning. We sometimes forget that not all students are exposed to the same environment, and it’s important to keep that at the forefront when designing differentiated instruction. Intelligence is also not an end-all be-all, and students should be empowered to think about their willingness to complete or learn a task.

  7. Sonia – EL PASO ISD (verified owner) –

    Provided a lot of information about student learning and their ability to learn and keep what they have learned.
