Our orientation is coming to a close- and I'm already really enjoying and looking forward to what lies ahead.
I hope to be able to gain both practical (day to day) classroom strategies and understandings that I can apply in a classroom situation- about how children best learn, and students with learning differences can be accommodated for. I also am hoping to gain enough insight and knowledge to share professionally and possibly take with me to use in another grad program- possibly on autism spectrum disorders.
I'm a visual learner and for me to be successful, I think I need to utilize the checklists and keep up to date on announcements etc- so I stay current and on top of things. I've really enjoyed this so far- and I know it hasn't been a course for credit- but I'm so happy we've been able to do this- it will be helpful moving forward. I've signed up for the email subscriptions- and haven't been receiving those- as well as the emails sent to my JHU account- so I need to get that sorted, ASAP... once that is all sorted, I hope things will go smoothly!
As for what I need to support with- it isn't so much support, as I need/hope that the time difference doesn't pose a problem all the time. I realize that I will be the one to have to stay up late some nights for chats both for class and group projects, and that is normally not an issue for me- Unfortunately for the orientation it coincided with an inspection by a UK official and I needed to be rested for my observation.
I must say that I am truly excited about this learning opportunity and can't wait to get started!
