When I first signed up for this class I never had a clue of what it would entailed. All I knew it was going to teach me about what I needed to become a Secondary teacher. Teaching is a very rewarding job and a valuable career. The main role of the teacher is to further the knowledge and understanding of every child within the classroom, which can be very difficult at times. Although I am not a teacher yet, I have had many educational interactions with children. I am an invigilator for BJAT and CXC Exams but that’s nothing when it comes to the true experience you get when you’re actually teaching.

It helped me to gain sight of what I really want to do for my career. Nothing is more rewarding that sharing your knowledge and making a hug impact in students’ lives. It gives me great joy and warmth to my heart that I actually can make a difference and make the world a better place.
The only thing that I never like from this class was that it was too overwhelming when it came to the assignments and forums put together. I think that the workload could have been much lighter because it took away so much time from other classes that we had. I hardly had time to do anything for myself. I was leaving my job unattended just to keep up with this class and was trying to squeeze time for my other online class which also entailed as much
