I am a FACS major on the general track, and this class really givegives me a push towardtowards my future career. Above all, I thoroughly understand my subject matter. I have learned that child development comes with growth, as well as, the different stages of development. The thinking, social skills, and other characteristics of infants and toddlers students certainly do differ greatly from those older children and adults. This knowledge will help make me a better teacher, because it fosters great discussions and new learning, and can be intentionally used as a strategy for teaching children. This course allowed me to gain experience in my future field. Through the site observation I have discovered that experience alone makes you a better teacher.
