Dominican's Learning Goals

883 Words4 Pages

In order to visualize my plan to become an elementary teacher, I needed to do research on future courses I am required to take. Through the Dominican Core Curriculum, and advising worksheets, I was able to learn information about all the courses that are required out and in of my intended major. By reading about Dominican’s Learning goals, I was also able to discern how the core curriculum and requirements to graduate with my elementary education major, tie in with the beliefs and values of the school.

The second course I am worried about taking would be History. I also took history classes in high school, and although I did find them interesting, I found it challenging to maintain my desired grade. Ways I can prepare myself for taking these courses would be to not enter the class with a negative attitude from the beginning. If I do, then it will lead me to perceive the classroom as being more difficult than it actually is. Furthermore, if I do have trouble in the classroom, I know I could ask the teacher for assistance or I can go to the office of Literacy and Learning resources to find a
