Module 8 Reflection

Of everything you learned, what do you think 

will have the biggest impact on student learning?

Of everything I've learned, I think the student centered assessment piece will have the biggest impact on student learning.  As I said in my previous blog post, I realized that I don't put a lot of trust in my students' strengths and I think that I am slowly learning how to do that. I also think that one of my weaknesses as a Special Education teacher is that I tend to just give my kids the basics and not delve into anything too deep, which in turn causes me to not give my students the opportunity to think critically or solve problems.  This goes completely against my philosophy of education which is that we as teachers are creating the people who will solve the problems of our future.  I hope that I take this reminder away from this course.
