Kuma Chapters 1 + 2

Kuma's first chapter, I think, was important in learning about the different ways we categorize ourselves as teachers and how that plays a role in our teaching ability. It's interesting to look how theory differs from practice and how we, as teachers, come to recognize this in our own teaching. What I focused on further was the Table 1.1, which was a chart summarizing the different roles of a teacher and comparing their different approaches to decide which may be better as far as what's needed in the classroom. The outcome is fairly obvious but I still think this chart holds valuable information on what is important in teaching and how each role is used when teaching.
The second chapter for Kuma discussed the transition to post method pedagogy, which goes back to the article we read about a week ago which Kuma also wrote about the three transitions concerning this idea. What Kuma delves into here is the ways in which we can create a post method pedagogy that will benefit students and teachers in the classroom. Kuma gives us a valuable tool to start creating a more rounded and useful way of teaching which will further help a more diverse group of students and teachers.
