I really enjoyed my Educational Psychology 210 class and so I am excited to be taking Educational Psychology 401. Psychology is my major so learning about motivation, theories of learning, and ways to better understand children and adolescents is interesting for me.
My objectives for this class are to learn instructional strategies that I will be able to use for my classroom. I want to have a greater knowledge about why certain ways of teaching will be beneficial for certain children. I want to be educated on how children of different race and ethnicity learn and what they value. I hope I will be able to be creative with this course and with the teacher projects.
This is my first semester to take education classes, so getting hands-on with teaching material is new to me so I don't want to feel intimidated. I like how you (Anne) told us in the first class not to feel overwhelmed, so hopefully I won't be!
Scholastic has a great website that has teaching strategies for a variety of topics, including how to organize your classroom and how to talk to your students about violence.
