Social Issues in Education

This class has been an amazing experience. I only hope that other colleges and education programs have a type of class that talks about these issues that one WILL confront as a teacher. What advice I would give to future students of TED 3380 can be broken down to one question: How can I make this a meaningful experience? I would say that, first of all, being in class every session really would benefit you. And in all reality, you don't want to miss a class. Another key is to be completely open in class. Blurt out whatever you are thinking, no one will judge you, especially Dr. Talbert. You should also be prepared to have your thinking challenged. throughout the whole class, my customary method of thinking was challenged and I came away with a whole new mindset to use when I encounter students of all shapes and sizes. That really is what you need to keep in mind throughout this class: how can what I am learning now impact and effect my future students.

Keep these things in mind and you are sure to have a meaningful experience.
