Throughout this course I have learned much about what
Education is and I have also developed my ideas on what I believe Education
should be. I have learned all of the ways that there are to teach a student
which is helpful in the regard that each student learns differently. This class
has been incredibly informative and eye opening into not only the how our state’s
curriculum functions but also to the overall state of education of our country.
I believe that education is very much like building a house because as
Elementary school teachers, we are providing these children with the foundation
that they need to build their educational future on. Without us at the helm,
guiding them towards the goals that they need to meet before their time with us
ends, we are insuring that they will have success in their futures.
The second half of this course, which was the observational
component, was far more beneficial to my learning than I thought it would be.
It allowed me the opportunity to go and physically see just how a classroom
works. I will admit that I was timid when I first thought about having to go
and observe these children but after the first time, it was clear that this was
where I was meant to be. It was easy to interact with the children and it was an
experience that I wouldn’t trade for anything in the world.
I will take many things from this course, but the most
important one is the security and peace of mind in knowing that I am on the
right career track. It was great getting to know you all through these blogs
and through discussions and I wish you all the best of luck with your futures.
