What issues will you face in your journey to become a teacher? How can this class help you overcome these issues?

# data[].attributes.body
I think an issue I will face in my journey as becoming a teacher is to make the students enjoy being in class. I personally know that in the past I dreaded going to certain classes because they weren't fun or motivating, I felt they were a waste of time. I worry that I will struggle getting the students involved. I hope to have students who enjoy my class and can feel welcomed and excited. I think this course will help me understand that each child is different which means each child learns in other ways rather than one. Already this course has opened my mind about ways to get involved and to realize everyone is different.

Will the kind of student you are now reflect on the type of teacher you might become? Why or why not?

The student I am now most definitely reflects on the type of teacher I may become. I say that because I believe that people can change but for the most part, we remain true to who we are. I think that the amount of work and effort I put in as being a student will give a glimpse of what type of teacher I will be. If I am not organized now how can I expect myself to be organized once I am a teacher?

What are your expectations for yourself as a student? As a future teacher?

What are your expectations for yourself as a student? As a future teacher?

# data[].attributes.body
An expectation I have for myself as a student is to stay organized and to prevent myself from procrastinating. I found that if I stay more organized I am more motivated to get things done and to stay on top of things. I expect myself to always turn in my assignments on time and never late. As a future teacher, I expect myself to be open and understanding. I know that in my own life I have many things going on and it does get hard to stay on top of things so I want to be understanding of my future students and to help them out rather than not caring and failing them on the assignment or topic. I will say though, I will not let my students take advantage of me while I do try to be understanding. There is a big line between what is and isn't acceptable.

To be successful throughout this course I plan on taking lots of notes through assignments as well as when I observe a Special Needs classroom. I will use the notes and questions to strengthen my structure of understanding what it takes to be a constructive, motivating, and adaptive teacher.

No, I do not have any preconceived notions about Special Needs Learners. I am open to learning and taking in the experience to not only benefit myself but the students as well. There were Special Needs classrooms throughout middle school and highschool but because our schedules were different I never got the chance to be involved or interact with them.

What do you hope to learn in this class?

Throughout this course, I hope to learn how to help a child get through their own personal struggles and to make it something great. I want to learn how to help a student who is in special education classes learn and to feel confident in what they are learning. I also want to be confident in myself while helping and teaching students to set and reach their educational goals. I hope this course will help me do so!

I think the course "Introduction to Special Education" is about learning how to teach and understand students who are in special education classes. Each child is different and this course I believe will help explain the differences between each child and how you can help them learn to the best of their ability and to help them feel they belong and to become confident. I also think that this course will help us future teachers allow them to have fun and be motivated to learn.
