Hi Lawrence! Wow, it is difficult for me to really add anything except to say that you have referenced the major points as to the importance of adapting our instructional delivery methods to the diversities and levels of understanding in the classroom or lab. I too have found that the lesson plan is a guide, but not a directive, in that many of the skills we teach are sequential in process and our students must master the basics before moving to the next level. Sometimes it just takes a little more time and effort!
Thanks so much for your observations,
