Another summer accomplished! This one flew by! I finished my last general requirement class,
Geology. It was a five week class which
the quickest I have ever taken a class.
Next class student teaching!
This summer I worked again with an extended
school year program as a one-on-one aide.
I worked in a kindergarten through third room. The lesson I learned this summer is to treat
the classroom adults like a team.
Everyone is trying to do the best thing for the child and you need to
talk to one another about your reasoning behind these ideas. As someone who is trying to go into special
education I realize that I will be working with a lot of people between the
therapist and all the aides in the classroom.
Communication is key for the child to get all they need. Through subbing for this program I have been
fortunate to see different teacher’s styles.
I have realized that there will never be two teachers that have the same
approach. Each teacher is unique. I think that each teacher brings their own
personality and this contributes to their style. Seeing so many approaches has left me with
plenty of great ideas!
