My Conclusion.

 As successful teachers in today’s society we must constantly reflect on our teaching and when being critical we have to hunt for assumptions, explore them and make adjustments using new knowledge and ways to thinking that we have been exposed to during discussions with others, research and our observations within the classroom.

Until I began to study at university I couldn’t understand the need to associate learning with play and fun, this didn’t happen when I was at primary school and I thought that, although I was not a neurosurgeon, I was quite an intelligent and world savvy person. Even while working in childcare, planning and ensuring the children in my care were provided learning that was interesting, fun and valuable to each of them individually, I could not relate this to the school system as education, believing that successful education must be structured and set across the board for all students to ensure they were all on the same page. How wrong we can be. Beginning to study my Bachelor of Learning Management has forced me to critically reflect upon my perception of both education and how I would teach children of today and let me just say that I was way off track in my previous opinions.

Our world is changing drastically with the advancements in technology and economical growth so why has it taken so long for governments to see the need for a change in the way we educate our children that propels their leaning towards a new standard that concentrates on what is needed for the future.

To conclude I would like to list the most invaluable information that I have learnt from my studies to date. I am sure that by the end of my study I will have added substantially to my list of knowledge that become my list for success as a Learning Manager.
