This courses primary goal was increasing internal motivation for students but what was equally important was the concepts of self-discovery of myself as a teacher and as a person. I was pleasantly surprised with how much I got from this course in regards to the way I live my own life and how I can improve the lives of my students.

I wish that character development that dealt with nurturing and instilling these skills in our students was part of the curriculum. I have a program that I developed and created myself which I continually use with my students to develop these skills. It has really helped my students become self motivated and unafraid to try new things.
