In the very beginning of this chapter Cushman lists the different types of students that we as teachers see in our classrooms. This is important because the chapter is titled "Teaching to the Individual", and knowing your students and how they learn is key to being able to best teach them.
The fact that all types of students can be summed up in seven different types of personalities is crazy to me. There was the eye-roller, the wall flower, the hand-waver, the dreamer, the con artist, the goof-off, and the work horse. When I was reading the descriptions of these I tried to find an exception to these seven, and I was disappointed to not think of any. Its pretty amazing that a teacher is capable of being able to teach all of these different types of children at the same time and for the same information.
