I loved how the course illustrated different teacher languages with examples. This got me thinking of my teacher language and how I could improve it to enhance my class’s learning experience. I also loved the variety of brain breaks we explored over this professional development.

This course truly has been impactful.

I found that the brain breaks are an excellent way to get the students focused in class. I can grab their attention just by getting them to stand in between class and stretch.

I am thankful that this course has given me language to explain and describe the needs of my class. It also gives me a sense of assurance as things that I think of as instinctual actually are methodologies taught in this course. I look forward to implementing most of what I’ve learned in this course.

These concise assignments will allow students to reflect on their understanding of the day’s content, while also providing me with real-time feedback on areas of strength and weakness.  Overall, these strategies have and will continue to give me new insight on properly engaging my class, ultimately creating a cohesive and collaborative learning environment.
