Final Blog: conclusion
Willingham's book was all about reaching all students and understanding how they learn and retain information. Willingham expresses that learners are diverse and we need to accept them and cater to them as a teacher. I really valued his ideas and have utilized his tips often in my classroom. I can't say my ideas of diversity have changed much from reading his helpful book but my practice and outlook on teaching has improved. I feel so much more confident as a teacher after reading this literature. I understand that teaching takes a lot of time and practice and that practice is never over! I learned a lot about how the mind works and how we use our memories. I think this knowledge that I now have will benefit me as a teacher and my students.
