Future Study and Practice

● Find out what learning styles best fit your students' needs and make sure you are
imitating that when getting to the assessment portion of the lesson.

● Make sure that the assessment influences the future lesson and planning of the
curriculum so that the journey to the class goal is seamless.

● Have students take SOLs goals and rewrite them so they include them but are
tailored to their own growth and learning.

● Survey students of different classes and find how the students perceive the final
product or the goal of the classes to be.

Closing Point:

Life is full of doors and education is the key. Doors come in many different sizes
and shapes and so should the keys. The moment we limit our ability to teach and inform
our students is the moment we have failed them. We teach them to give them the ability
to go through life and give them a thoughtful and meaningful perception. If we refuse to
make only some keys than students will lack the ability to unlock their full potential.
