Chapter 9

I really enjoyed this chapter it gave me really good insight into childrens minds and behaviors at certain ages. The figure on page 293 of Erikson's eight stages is very interesting it reminds me of Freuds stages of development. Also the figure on page 292 was and will be very helpful when trying to get an understanding of children at certain ages. I also found the eight intelligences interesting i didnt know there were so many types. It is so important for teachers to be flexible with their teaching methods so that all the students with or with out disabilities can understand and learn. Im very happy to know that there are laws for the disabled which allows them to attend school for free and still get an equal education. Im still nervous about having to teach classes of all different abilities and disabilities but im excited for the challenge.
