Welcome, welcome!
This page is a page that is a great look into what has gone into shaping me as the person, educator, and learner that I am today! If there were endless hours of the day, I would include each and everyone of the college course, as well as life experiences that I
have encountered as I am very confident they all served much value to my life. At this time and for the purpose of this blog, I will share with you about three of the most influential course that I have been enrolled in during my four years at the University of New England.
Throughout this course, students learned the effective ways to incorporate technology within a classroom. Technology can serve as a beneficial purpose to address multiple learning styles that a teacher may see. Not only did we learn about different types of programs, we had hands-on experience with tools such as 3D printing. This class added to my professional practice and ability that I’ll be able to take with me into my career.
“The course will provide a survey of critical use of instructional technology appropriate for supporting 21st Century teaching and learning. The course will introduce technology integration tools that support engagement, enhancement, and extension of learning. Using hands-on experience and a Project-Based Learning (PBL) environment students will be actively engaged in learning about the National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS-S**) as they design, implement, and assess learning experiences to engage students and improve learning; enrich professional practice; and provide positive models for students, colleagues, and the community.” – (UNE)

Throughout this course, my peers and I learned about the effective methods to implement within a classroom. The course covered Trauma Informed practices to building and maintaining supportive relationship with students. We created a term-long project that was call, “My Classroom Management Plan”. It was here that we were able to combine all of the knowledge that we had gained from the semester and digest it into our own practice.
“This course addresses the theories and methods associated with the learning process, as well as the application of this knowledge in a variety of classroom environments and situations. Pre-service teachers will learn how to create a proactive classroom environment that will allow them to spend contact time in instructional activities resulting in increased student learning. Pre-service teachers also develop knowledge and understanding of requisite strategies for effectively managing student behavior in the classroom. Field-study required.” -(UNE)

Check out my work: OCD Project
Throughout this course, we as students learned in great detail about difficult situations that many of our students suffer from. Some of which these sufferings we may or may not be aware of. Due to these unfortunate circumstances, students are sometimes dissociated and struggle with school. From this course, I was able to gain a whole new awareness and strategies about how to help these students. At the end of the term, we had a project where we had to teach the class about a topic in further detail. This is was an amazing opportunity to show your overall learning and understanding.
“The course addresses diversity issues that affect students in K-12 classrooms. Hate crime protected indentities will be examined, as well as other differences – like body size, low socio-economic status, homelessness, expelled & suspended students, children of incarcerated parents, and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACES). If left unaddressed, these issues can lead to negatice scheool experience that disenfranchise students from learning opportunities. Increasing future educators’ and other professionals’ awareness of strategies that convey respect and value for students’ differences is critical for creating an inclusive and safe school climate for all students.” -(UNE)
