Course: EDUC 101: Introduction to Education
Brief Description: A research of different types of schools
to understand the diverse field of education as a teacher.
This allows you the opportunity to embrace the
professional field and immerse one self into an
environment that is different. A challenge to compare and
contrast vast fields as an educator and hone your skills and
ability to promote development in the classroom.
Rationale: To document my understanding of Learning
Differences, I have selected to include my Compare and
Contrast paper, because it demonstrates the ability to
separate differences and similarities in a classroom and
learning how to provide a constructive way to celebrate
development and learner based needs.
