Reflective Essay
In developing my reflective essay I have used two entries from my journal and also the effect the course becoming a teacher has had on me personally.

The result of learning must be changed into observable behaviour. After learning takes place students are capable of doing something they were not able to do before learning took place.

The course seeks to motivate and stimulate not only me but also my batch mates, after listening to very informative presentations.

I have learned a lot as it relates to this topic it has helped to up build my self esteem which in return will help me to excel in whatever I do. After
