UBD/DI Chapter 3

    This chapter really seemed to strike me as most interesting because it was based on the important questions and ideas of what is important for the students to learn and it seemed ton include the ideas of why many teachers become teachers. I thought the Backward Design process was made in the students best interest and I feel like that is why it is so remarkable about it is that it was made to help the students and that right there makes me feel it is so important. This chapter really had an impact on me because it really made me understand how caring teachers are and how they really do care about the success of their students. For instance, stage two of the backward design I thought was such a great idea because teachers really thought about how this would be impacting students and trying to plan ahead to help students obtain the best results. One thing this chapter helped me feel is important enough to help my students understand is that education should be about gathering knowledge and that school shouldn't be about the grades because when the grade becomes more important then the information suddenly learning doesn't seem to be enjoyable anymore. I want my students to remember that being challenged in their academics is a good thing and that teachers are their mentors and are always looking out for the students best interest.
