Reflection on Learning

After taking this course I've learned that trial-and-error will be my best friend.  Flexibility is necessary when teaching because a lesson does not always go as planned (and that's OK).  Discussion, collaboration with colleagues, and ongoing reflection are key for professional growth.  I will need to make a conscious effort to make this happen.

Teaching English is tricky because pieces of literature are very nuanced.  To a large extent, meaning is subjective.  It is my job to make students aware of these nuances and give them the tools to support their points of views.  This can be accomplished through discussion and a WIDE variety of learning activities and instructional strategies.
