After reflection back upon what I wrote, I have learned some skills that will help me. The first question asked what I hoped to learn in this introduction to education class. I stated that I wanted to learn how to become an effective teacher. After going to student mentoring a few times at Mt. Blue Middle School I have developed some skills that I think have helped me learn how to be an effective teacher. I have found that if a student isn't understanding what you're trying to say to them, have them try to walk you through it step by step with some helpful hints along the way. 

The other question asked what is my greatest fear/concern/worry about this class. I really didn't have many fears coming into the class, and I'm glad I didn't. The class itself was not too difficult; there was quite a bit of homework, however. The homework that we were assigned was not just busy work, and there was a clear purpose in doing it. That made the homework bearable and easier to do. This EDU class was definitely helpful and made me want to continue striving and working hard to become a teacher.
