This class was very teaching basics and classroom management, lesson plan basics, etc. Which was amazing! Coming into this course I had no idea how to craft a lesson plan whatsoever. I loved getting to learn how to craft a lesson plan and what elements are vital and what to leave out.

What I remember most from my experiences in the classroom was putting my lesson plan into action rather than typing it up and submitting it and not acting in out in reality. I was very nervous but it went pretty much as planned besides a minor technical difficulty.

Embracing diversity in the classroom is one of the best practices I can think of to practice in my future classroom. I want my students to feel safe and included in the classroom and not feel left out. I want them to feel pride in themselves and teach others about them and their histories.

# data[].attributes.body
I plan to create and continuously reform my classroom by always seeking new tools and activities to use in my classroom. I will talk to other teacher and integrate others techniques. Most importantly, I will remember it is all about the students. I believe in ILP’s and I want to make sure my students can be successful by making sure they are getting the education THEY need versus just what the school board wants to hand them.

I met my own expectations in this course besides missing out on two assignments. I wish I had done them originally but with moving and switching jobs, I was just overwhelmed and knew I could skip them. However, skipping assignments shouldn’t be a thing, cause everything counts but my mental health wasn’t the best so I weighed my options and it long term caused me a lot of stress here at the end making sure to give my all in my assignments in order to have the grade I want and need at the end. So I could improve myself by doing every assignment, even when I am not feeling the best and have a lot going on so I can save myself in the long run if I need to.

This course met my expectations by teaching me how to accurately craft and create lesson plans and aligning it to state standards. Otherwise everything else was somewhat surprising, in a good way. I originally did not know I would need observation hours, due to COVID-19, but I am happy I got the experience!

I have no real suggestions or feedback on how this course could be better. You covered the basics of what a beginning teacher should know and it was all extremely helpful and useful! :)

Getting to be around children for my observations has helped me decide I want to be a teacher. I loved getting to work with elementary aged children and I think being an art teacher for that age range would be amazing!
