Day One

Having started a new job that requires me to train a variety of individuals in the field of education, I am spending a large amount of time learning a significant amount of new information regarding early literacy. Because I have had to learn the material quickly (and hopefully efficiently!), I have made myself very conscious of the learning strategies I choose to use. For starters, I know I need to be actively engaged in whatever it is I am trying to learn. While I may read for background information, I cannot fully grasp a concept until I put it into practice. I am presenting an early childhood literacy training next week and am learning the module as we speak. I have spent a lot of time reading over it, taking notes, and practicing in my apartment. I’m really nervous about it but I know that once I get through it one time, I will feel more comfortable. Let’s hope it works that way! :)
