Hello! My name is Mayra Ochoa Paz, I am a Liberal Studies major and this is my second session at Brandman University. I am pursuing a Bachelor’s degree and then I plan on continuing on to the credential program so I can teach second grade. I have worked with severely handicapped children for over ten years and I absolutely love it.
I believe that as a teacher you are constantly learning, whether it’s finding ways to manage different behaviors or coming up with fun ways to teach a lesson. I would like to research different techniques and teacher experiences so I can always have tools to use when needed. After completing the reading for this week, I became more aware of how much I have to learn when it comes to research. I have been out of school for ten years so I have a lot to learn. I would really like to learn how to become a more effective researcher and how to navigate the online libraries. I am looking forward to becoming a better researcher!
