In chapter seven, Lemov discusses the different ways teachers can use to build rapport through questioning. He reasons: “even if participation is necessary, it is not in itself sufficient” (Lemov, p.240). From this sentence I learned that the more rigorous the content, the more likely I will get student participation. In the future, I plan to differentiate my teaching and challenge my students, so that they can demonstrate their maximum potential. Personally, I learned the most from teachers who challenged me. Although as an immigrant student I liked that teachers were lenient towards me because I had a language barrier, some teachers expected me to turn in the same assignments as my peers. I appreciate their hope in me because that simple gesture and inclusion transformed me into a well-rounded student. Overall, I learned effective and challenging concepts in this course. I will make an effort to use these tools and implement them in my classes in the future. Because I possess a growth mindset, I believe I will be well equipped to teach a differentiated classroom. If I find myself in difficulty, I know which sources to turn to for assistance. I am determined to change education and inspire children. I can't wait to change the future
