 In this course I learnt several things that will aid my growth as a teacher. One of them

was learning about the 5e instructional model. This has me creating lesson plans that are able to

ensure students’ learning. I also learn the importance of ensuring that I include multiple

intelligence activities for all my students’ learning needs. I greatly appreciated having a teacher

who provided us with very valuable resources which aided in my growth as a teacher. I also can

take some of her teaching abilities such as organization and time management. I learnt how

important it is to have very organized plans in order for me to be able to have very smooth

lessons. I also learnt how to be a facilitator for my students as I saw first hand with my own

teacher and I will very much always be grateful for the help I received. I will always keep in

mind the very supportive traits of my teacher as I myself go into the teaching world.

One of the main problems I dealt with in this course was creating my lessons to be in the

5e instructional model. I had some difficulty planning procedures to follow the five steps but I

did my best to ensure that I did my research in order for my lesson plans to be successful. I also

had a bit of difficulty with creating activities with the different intelligences as there were not

many activities available for Belizean social studies and I had to make up my activities but I did

my best to diversify my activities. My biggest challenge with doing lesson plans was simply

being creative and still following the 5e instructional model with multiple intelligence activities.

Combining the three was a challenge as I have a bit of trouble staying within standard lesson

procedures once I get my own creative activities. I felt a bit pressured and challenged to ensure

my activities were diverse, creative, and meaningful but again, I am grateful for an excellent

teacher who facilitated my own learning and I only hope to be as amazing as she is once I am a

teacher myself.
