Turning Points Chapter 4: Designing Instruction to Improve Teaching and Learing

This chapter seemed like a review of practicum which was definitely a nice review. The WHERETOS and how to teach to the whole class. This is a good reference chapter to use when I'm discussing how to teach to the whole class and it is important to do the backward design. One of the most interesting parts of the chapter was the idea of tracking. I can't count the number of times that we have talked about tracking and why it is bad. Of course I agree with that it is bad because it can quickly segregate the school based on race and social economic status. This was a nice find because we have talked about why tracking is bad, but here is a nice reference in writing.
