I can't believe that this is the last week of our course. I have enjoyed how discussion based the class was, and how much we shared. I also ended up loving the student-centered model of the class with the student facilitations each week. It honestly has inspired me to make some changes in my own classroom, giving my students more opportunities to present information to the class themselves and encouraging them to ask questions about culture or speak up when they don't understand something that they are learning.
I will be honest, this class has not always been easy because every week it seems that I leave class challenged in yet another area, but the uneasy feeling is so worth it because it usually leads to me making necessary changes in my teaching practices. I hope that I continue to find ways to be challenged so that I never become complacent in my teaching and I always find new ways to connect with my students and serve them better!
