Course Work
Through my first two years studying at the University of Victoria I have had the chance to learn within multiple general subjects that we may find within today’s elementary schools. These subjects include American Sign Language, English, Mathematics, Canadian Studies, and Sciences. I really enjoyed having the opportunty to learn a variety of subjects within my first year of shool; however, I found that I enjoyed the classes that pertain solely to education and teaching much more. Through these education classes we are constantly learning new teaching strategies and tools. I am looking forward many new classes and opportunities on my journey towards becoming an educator.
