Reflection on CEDu521

This course has helped me to become much more organized when thinking about how to plan an entire unit. It has also gotten me to think a little more about how students, even my third graders, can have a huge role in their own learning process. This course was perfect for me because I had just switched to third grade and spend most of my year putting things together. It really helped me to sit down and plan out a unit so that next year when that unit comes around again, I will feel much more prepared. I am looking forward to sharing my unit with other teachers in the district. This was a great way to organize activities and resources. It is easy to follow, laid out nicely, and even has room for teachers to do their own thing with it. I have worked really hard on this unit and I am looking forward to trying more of them. There was a lot covered in a little time, which was fine for me because I am familiar with unit planning, but to someone who is not, the course may have been overwhelming. The resources are very clear and easy to follow. I enjoyed this class because this is something that I can use in the future.
