How it started

 Before the course...


I had a lot of nerves before the start of this course. The last time I had done an AQ was during online teaching in 2021. I was doing my ABQ for intermediate physical education and health in order to teach grade 7 and 8. Teaching online and then doing a course online was something I promised myself I would never do again. 3 years later, and I decided it was time to go back to AQs, but this time, during the summer. I was nervous to get back into being a student, but as I am nearing the middle of the course, I've been reminded of how much I actually enjoy learning and being the student.

As an LTO and a fairly new teacher, I have had such a hard time with being able to provide meaningful learning opportunities that have a variety of resources available because I have had to "survive as I go". I hope that through the remainder of the course I am able to organize the resources I have gained to help me throughout the school year. I didn't feel well prepared from my teachers college experience, especially in terms of concrete and applicable resources, so I feel like I am always looking for more. This course has helped me see that there is an abundance of tools that are ready to use, I just needed the time to explore! Excited to see where we go next!
