It was a beautiful and rich experience that I gained throughout the week in this course. The amount of learning is tremendous and diverse. It is not only about the preparation and the delivery of the mini lessons, it is about the improvement and the confidence I felt as I was going to the last day of the course. Each member of the group added his or her uniqueness and the personalized way of thinking to their lessons and shared it with us in a fashion that facilitate learning.
On my first mini lesson, I selected a topic related to my subject matter expertise and it was a bit heavy and too long for a 10 minutes mini lesson. The feedback I received was tough on me at the very beginning, but as I was restructuring my strategies for the delivery of instruction according to the guidelines, I benefitted the most from these feedback and helped me to drive a huge success on my second and third lessons.
The overall experience is unforgettable and it is actually helped me to become a better teacher, yet it is just the beginning.
