QTC Post #1- Introduction

I am very excited to be in this class. It is my first real semester of teacher education classes and I am very interested in learning as much as possible.The class itself sounds very interesting and I hope to expand my knowledge about teaching and children in general. I am specifically interested in learning about the differences between teacher-made and standardized assessments. I feel this is a "hot topic" right now in the education world and it is something I have been interested in for a long time. I also am excited to delve deeper into learning about learning theories and development. I think I will be able to use all aspects of this class in my future profession by better understanding aspects of teaching.
