Awareness and Creativity in teaching #1

I am preparing for a career in education and the most important thing I will take with me from Delpit’s article is the awareness that all students do not learn the same. Not all students come from the same background and not all of them are going to understand the same things taught in the same way. If teachers and educators can find ways to equal out the criteria than all students will be able to have an equal opportunity to a better education. I really liked the example that Dr. Tolar Burton used talking about her daughter and the other girl in her class that had very limited vocabulary, with some different kinds of teaching strategies that student was able to catch up and keep up with her class members. one of the best parts about choosing a career in education is the option to be creative and help all different kinds of people end up in the same place.
