When I was thinking about what course I should design, I asked myself the following questions:
- What are my passions? The course should be something that I feel very strongly about.
- What is my background knowledge? I should have a good general background or have expertise in the topic that I intend to teach.
- What is my experience? I should be able to draw upon personal experiences to help students develop understanding in the topics.
I came up with: Independent Living Skills 11
I have many passions, but one of them is to help others, especially those who have various challenges. My background knowledge is in Special Education, and I have extensive experience teaching in the area of Special Education including High School, Elementary, and being a Specialist teacher. One of my current roles is to oversee the programming of children with many diversities, as well as ensuring that the adults who work with them have adequate training to properly care for the children.
I am looking forward to developing this course, as I think that it would be beneficial to many children working towards developing independent skills.
