Although this semester has been stressful and challenging, I have learned a lot. After taking all the necessary courses in the education program and completing my student teaching, I am I finally able to say that I feel prepared and excited to begin my teaching career. I have learned a lot about students with disabilities in this course. I have learned different differentiation strategies to help support each of my students. I have also learned about the feelings of the family members of students with disabilities and how to support them. I have enjoyed collaborating and interacting with peers through discussion posts as well.
Congratulations to all! Best of luck in your future career! :)

This semester summed up in one word would be: CRAZY! Congratulations to those who are graduating this semester, I won't lie, I am a bit jealous. I have one class next semester, and then I'm done!
This semester, although crazy, has been pretty amazing. Leaving my student teaching this upcoming week is going to be one of the hardest things I have done. Any doubts I ever had about becoming a teacher are now gone.

Remember, all students deserve the best! It doesn't matter if they're gifted, an SWD, an ELL, they all need us to help them achieve their best :)

What a semester I must say.. by far the most challenging semester. We have all worked our hardest and can finally say we made it! It's always great to collaborate with one another, and I definitely feel I've learned so much about students with disabilities, their families and myself. Being able to apply what I've learned in my field experience has made me feel more confident. We only have a few days left til graduation! I wish everyone the best of luck in your future endeavors and I'll see you guys at graduation!

I am very excited to close this chapter and move on to the next one. Nonetheless, I am appreciative to be leaving with so much knowledge I didn't have at the beginning of this journey. I can thank student-teaching, courses such as this one, and those around me. Now we are off to learning, this time as the teacher! Congratulations to all:)

This semester has been one of the most exhausting semesters I've ever had. I am so thankful to have learned so much and for it to finally be over. It was helpful to learn ways to help differentiate instruction for all students. Congratulations everyone, we did it!

I really enjoyed this class! It was neat to take this course while student teaching in an inclusion classroom because I was able to see some of the things we discussed in class actually play out in the classroom. It was interesting to read about and discuss things like differentiating, accommodating, and advocating and then witness it in the classroom! However, I am so glad this semester has come to an end! Next step, graduation! I wish everyone the best of luck!

I cannot believe this semester is coming to a close. Throughout this last semester, and specifically this course I have learned a lot of wonderful information that will help me along the way throughout my educational career. I am going to take this valuable information forward with me as I grow as a teacher. This semester has been very challenging; however, it has helped me grow not only as an educator, but an individual as well. I am glad that I have had some wonderful classmates to share this last semester with. I wish you all the best in your future, we finally made it!

This semester has been one of the biggest challenges of my life. I am so thankful to be graduating December 12th! I am also very thankful for all the knowledge I gained from KSU. In particular, this class helped me understand special education in ways I never thought I could understand. There is so much that goes along with special education. Accommodations, modifications, differentiation, assisting students with IEPs, 504 plans or on RTis, meetings, etc. The list goes on. I admire all the special education teachers out there!
