I learned about the resources available for assessing the background knowlrdge of diverse students in order to have a better understanding of the techniques and types of lesson objectives I will need to incorporate into my lesson plan. I have a diverse group of students in class and this will help me to better connect to my students' experiences as well as provide them a more personalized, as well as effective, method of instruction in order to increase their knowledge base by linking learning outcomes with their prior knowledge and experiences.
