Educational Psychology was beneficial and enlightening. I learned the developmental stages that people go through and
how their brain development affects their learning. I also learned about various handicaps and disabilities. Discovering
the different learning styles was helpful. Creating the lesson plans for the various learning styles made me think in depth
on how to reach many children with one lesson. I observed several teachers looking for specific traits that focused
on psychological well-being of the students, unspoken language, and physical environment. Having this assignment helped me
look at teachers in a different light and the effect of their behavior and attitudes on children. I am more sensitive to the
classroom environment now.
I learned alot in this course and have a better understanding of childrens' development physically and mentally.
