Friedrich Froebel

Not one person is exactly the same. All people have different needs and are capable of different things. This holds true with children as well.

Friedrich Frobel believed that all children are unique. They don't all learn the same way; they need different ways to learn and different strategies. This is the same for anyone of any age. Everyone is different and learn in different ways. I agree with this theory very much so. I think it is the basis for the universal design of teaching, which will provide all children with everything they need to succeed. I also think is plays some part in differentiation. Through differentiation, is is apparent that all children and people are capable of different things, and sometimes they aren't all at the same level.

Frobel also came up with the idea of kindergarten. Kindergarten was a way for children to develop their relationships with their peers early. It also helped them find which ways of learning works best for them, without being under pressure to do so. I also believe that this is a good theory, and I'm surprised that Germany outlawed it at first.
