Summary and Synthesis

The clinical interview taught me more about thinking about the way students think. It is important to try and understand how they think when creating your instruction. Think about what makes learning easier for them and how to explain it best at their level. Asking students why they came up with that answer and how can tell you a lot about the way they think and solve. Every students may have a different answer as to how they got their answer and how they can explain it to you. Therefore, your instruction needs to be varied enough to address all students and be open-ended so all students can take their own approach on it and the clinical interview taught me about that.
