Final Reflections on Lessons Learned

When this course began, I knew it would be very difficult for me.  As I have stated previously, finance is a very weak area for me.  I know I will probably get many comments from this next statement, but I am going to go ahead and say it - I don’t even participate in our home finances.  My husband does all of this and if something ever happened to him, our family would be in huge trouble!  I believe that I have learned a large amount of information in this course and I feel much better about school finance.  I  rated myself as “Competent” in all areas which is a huge gain from the first self-assessment.  I believe that the weekly lectures, readings, and resources provided the support and information that I needed to complete the assignments.  The interviews helped me immensely.  I learned a large amount of information from interviewing our Superintendent and our Business Manager.  I also discussed the class with our district Curriculum Director and my campus principal - both have their Doctorate degrees.  All of these professionals helped me greatly through this process.  I found it very helpful to work in a wiki group and thought it was interesting to see the different responses that each group member came up with while collaborating on the answers each week.  It helped our answers be much more thorough and accurate.
