My journey has definitely been a meaningful process that I continue to experience as we reach the end of this program. Throughout this process I have learned many things, some of these include changing my mindset about different aspects of teaching, considering how the things I do in class affect my students, and thinking about the personal factors that affect my teaching. My thoughts about how I should teach my students have steered even more to focusing on my students instead of what makes me comfortable, to consider technology and how it can benefit my students, even when I am not comfortable with a new tool. I now think about what tools I apply in my lessons will have a greater effect in my students instead of just helping me make a lesson fun. Overall, this program has made the process of thinking about my teaching more clear and purposeful. I know I still have much to learn, but I can definitely notice a difference from the time I started the program to now that I am at the end of this step in my own learning. Thinking back to different sessions and discussions, I’m reminded of the importance of taking care of my needs as a teacher. Learning, questioning and not being afraid of making mistakes are important for growth, but so is understanding what we need as teachers. I understand that I need to further my education in order to better serve my students, I need to take risks, and at the same time feel comfortable with being uncomfortable. I am at a place now where I feel motivated to continue exploring and in no way do I feel that I know all that there is to know, but I certainly want to continue to learn what I don’t yet know.
