Week 10

Last week of the course, strange feeling.... Finally time to relax with the end of the school as well, but then, although I have learned so much with this course, it leaves me motivativated to continue learning!

I have been so lucky to have applied to this course and get into this program. I was expecting it to be good, but it exceeded my expectations! So many plans, such great new methods, ideas, motivation, I already feel ready to get started with the new school year!

Jodie, I am really glad to have worked with you. I learned so much from you. You took me back to the feeling of being a student and sometimes feel the "nervousness" of  not understanding something clearly, but your feedback was always on time and understanding. You have a brilliant way to express yourself through writting, because you always sound calm, motivational, warm, and with a great coaching technique to guide us the right way.

I got not much left but to say thank you. Thanks to the University of Oregon and the American Embassy for this great opportunity. Thanks to my classmates for their ideas and motivation. Thanks to my project partner Svetlana for helping me out on my project. Thanks to Celeste for making me analyze situations in a better way. Thanks to Jodi for always been there and taught us in such simple yet meaningful manner. Thank you all!  :)

Best wishes for the next comming year!

  1. Hi Jess,

    Like you, at the end of the course, I feel very motivated to continue learning. For me it was an important stimulus not to stop growing as a teacher. In this way, the course doesn't end and it's not so sad :)

    Thanks for all your comments and take care!

  2. Hi Jess!
    Remembering this "student" feeling will help us understand them a bit better and maybe try to make them feel more relaxed!
    I will definitely keep in touch with you!!
    Take care and have a great summer!

  3. Hi Jess,

    Thank YOU for being such a great participant in the course! It really was a lot of fun, and you probably just didn't hear the times I got frustrated! ;)

    "See" you around online!
