We experience self-discovery, self-improvement and personal growth through higher education which will help us gain more confidence, higher social skills and greater civic awareness, all of which we need for our future careers and adult lives in general. According to Chris Blake (2001), “Generally, colleges provide access to topnotch professors and experts who are constantly teaching classes, giving lectures and offering help to students in their chosen field. This type of interaction extends well beyond classroom learning and gives you an opportunity that most high school grads don't have available.” These professors will be our role models, teaching us valuable skills and lessons so we can find and increase our potentials, to be able to grow and evolve as human beings for future generations.

This helped prepare me for making lesson plans and taking on many other responsibilities of a teacher.
[pic] Collaboration In 2–3 paragraphs, describe how you will find answers to your questions or address your “wonderings” about assessment. Include possible resources, such as other colleagues, professional journals and/or organizations, or professional development. Many of my questions and hesitations regarding the concept of assessments have already been discussed and answered by the required excerpts from Educational psychology: Windows on classrooms that I read this week. I found the excerpts to be informative as well as extremely motivating. While I believe myself to be a dedicated, hard-working, and knowledgeable educator, I do rely on many factors to get me through the school year in regard to questions and concerns I may have.

In this environment and with the guidance of trained teachers, they can develop their intellects and acquire all the skills and content of human civilization. Over sixty years of experience with children around the world proved Dr. Montessori's theory that children can learn to read, write and calculate as easily and naturally as they learn to walk and talk.
