This class has helped me to gain a greater appreciation for the need to collaborate with my colleagues. I have gained much from the ideas presented in the discussion forums. I also enjoyed having my beliefs criticized. Honestly! I especially appreciate the comments of the parents in this course who provided a perspective that I don't yet have. In the future, I will continue to consult others and will not trust that my opinion is always correct. Why? Because it isn't, of course.

The topic that I benefited from most is behavioral theory when it comes to classroom management. During observations I was able to see that the things mentioned in the textbook and during discussion forums is being used in classrooms today; and it actually works.
