I took the Stellar Astronomy Communication course at Stanmore School of Business to enhance my teaching skills and knowledge of astronomy. As a high school teacher in Egypt, I wanted to make my lessons more engaging and relevant to my students' lives. The course provided me with a wealth of practical ideas and resources, including lesson plans, activities, and assessments. I appreciated the focus on critical thinking and problem-solving, which aligned with my teaching goals. The course materials were well-organized and easy to follow, although I would have liked more opportunities for discussion and feedback. Overall, I'm satisfied with the course and feel more confident in my ability to teach astronomy effectively. One area for improvement would be to include more examples and case studies from the Middle East and Africa, which would make the course more relevant to my context.
