In chapter one titled “UbD and DI: An Essential Partnership” I learned about more than just Understanding by Design and Differentiated Instruction. The biggest thing that I learned was in the scenario for Axiom 4. In this scenario it discusses how the teacher, Mr. Axelt, preassesses his students before the unit to be able to pinpoint where each student was with their learning, this was not a new idea for me. However, farther along the scenario states that as the unit continues he uses “formative or ongoing assessments to chart the progress.” It then gives an example on how to do such a thing. I really liked this idea because it is a way to see where each student is without having to have a graded quiz or test, which is fairer for the students who are struggling.
