# Foundations and Assessment of Education/Edition 1/Foundations Table of Contents/Chapter 4/Chapter Review
## Chapter Summary

* It is inevitable that the children in a classroom will be different from each other in many ways. They may all read at the same level, they may all like the same activities and there is even a chance that they are all the same gender. Each of these scenarios is highly unlikely but still possible. One thing is for sure, each child will demonstrate unique needs and characteristics. All teachers are forced to deal with diversity in the classroom to some degree. Whether it is managing the different teaching styles needed by boys vs. girls, or dealing with the high demands of gifted students or those with ADHD, teachers in classrooms all over the country are faced with this challenging task. Chapter 4 introduced some of the many diverse needs of all types of students. In reading the articles in this chapter, you have found that diversity in the classroom does not have to be simply an unwanted challenge. Discovering the various needs and characteristics of our diverse student population allows the teacher as well as the rest of the class to grow and learn from one another.
