Fulfilling the Promise, Chapter 7

This was the concluding chapter in our book, and it was very real. It told us teaching is hard, and even with all these high hopes for differentiated classrooms full of love for our students, that probably won't come so easily. It told about a man named McNulty, and the spaghetti sauce, or gravy his mother made. Try as he might, he couldn't make that gravy taste like his mother's. He discovered she made her's with love, and that is truly what made it so fantastic. "Things that cannot be written down happen when you lose yourself in your works." When we develop a passion for teaching, differentiation will come naturally. It really isn't something we can learn from reading a text book, or by watching someone else. It is something that will come as you really get to know each one of your students, and find a love for all of them.
