I learned a lot about making sure students feel heard and have autonomous learning so they’re in charge of their learning. The course also had a clinical component. I assisted a teacher at Cheney Middle School who was awesome to work with and had a lot of different ideas on what to bring to the classroom. That was really inspiring.
