CULT & SPED

My two online courses for this summer are currently both accessible and I am super pumped about it. The beginning of the semester is always the best. The enthusiasm for the new content is high, the smell of sharpened pencils is in the air, you know the drill!

My CULT class is Education in a Democratic Society and touches on many topics I've covered in education courses from Calvin. But I'm excited to revisit them and share my insights in the many blog posting assignments.


The SPED class is Introduction to Exceptionalities, a Special Education class, and is reminiscent of EDUC 202. I've already been so inspired and moved by the films and youtube clips provided for this online class.


All this to say: GET ME IN A CLASSROOM STAT!


And ps - I need more info on Teach for America and similar programs. 

summer lovin'

What am I loving about summer, you ask?


I'm loving the nice(-ish) weather. 
The fact that my first semester is accomplished.
I am taking some super interesting summer courses.
I feel organized at the moment. (due to my room being clean)
Getting closer to some of my friends in Kent.


And much, much more.


Get ready for a bunch of posts regarding special education and equality in education due to two of my online classes.


That's all for my post. 


I'll leave you with a foto of my friend Angel and me. It is almost her birthday. I'm excited to celebrate!

PS> more glamorous shots to come.
