Education and Training
Went through all of the coursework for a Bachelor's in Secondary English Education, including the field experience courses where I was expected to build lesson plans and teach those lessons to the students. Made a switch to Educational Studies and Training the semester that I would have student taught, rather than student teaching I was expected to do an internship for the semester where I spent everyday in a classroom. Through my coursework with Educational Studies and Training I learned how to write curriculum and lesson plans for CTC classes and classes of that type.
