Getting a general idea of getting more clarity in a teachers instruction was interesting to read about. There were questions asked about how different teachers teach for example, labs, experiments, or teacher demonstration at the front of the class. This kind of opened my eyes as I was reading. Then the article was talking about how yes this may be good at times, but the students are not necessarily understanding it or knowing why they are learning what they are learning. A big take away from this is the clarity piece, and as a teacher you need to address this with your students. One thing to make sure that you implement this is to plan for it. Before teaching plan to tell the students why they are learning this and the importance because if they don't understand that they might not understand what you are really trying to get across to them.
