It is amazing to me how each 8 weeks go by so quickly. Personally so much has happened. I have changed jobs, had my third child, lost my grandmother to cancer and yet I keep on moving forward with this journey. I have learned so much from the course material and even more from each of you. I know that to really be an effective communicator one must also be an active listener. I learned that I needed to be a better listener. As a director and as a mother I feel that I am constantly multitasking but to really be able to listen I need to stop sometimes and really LISTEN.
Each week we have had the opportunity to expand our knowledge in the field and enhance our learning by sharing our views and personal experiences. I hope that I have been able to share with each of you as much as I have gained. This course is the last of this section before we move on to our specializations. I wish you all best success and I look forward to continuing with those of you have chosen the specialization of Teaching Adults in the Early Childhood field.
Thank you.

Emily,
ReplyDeleteYou have a had a busy eight weeks! Congrats on the baby and job but sorry about your grandma. And I thought my last eight weeks were busy! Not only should you listen to other but with your busy life now please take time to listen to yourself and what you need to become the better listener.
Best of luck in you specialty!
As I read over my post it sounds like all of this happened to me throughout this one course. Just for clarification, I was reflecting on the entire journey so far with the beginning of the first course. But thank you for your kind words.
