My Learning Essentials
Here are the principles and concepts relevant to this episode:
1. Development and learning proceed at varying rates from child ti child, as well
as at uneven rates across different areas of the child’s functioning. (NAEYC 2009)
2. Development and learning is maximized when learners are challenged to
achieve at a level just above their current level of mastery, and also when they have
many opportunities to practice newly acquired skills.
3. Differentiated instruction is a student-centered approach that aims to match
the learning content, activities and assessment to the different characteristics, abilities,
interest and needs of the learners.
An effective teacher remembers that the learners have different levels of ability,
and clearly level lets them know that their strengths are recognized and that
everyone has the chance to learn and succeed. The teacher helps create a learning
community where everyone can work together and contribute regardless of their
abilities and capacities.

My Reflection/Insights
1. Recall the time when you were in the elementary or highschool. Recall
