Ms. Coronado Reflective Report

By implementing this idea in Area Two schools to support special education students, we will create a more data driven approach to increasing student achievement. By following this idea the team will also do a better job of implementing professional development and mentorships that greatly increase teacher effectiveness. The idea will also increase understanding of the diversity of the schools and promote community involvement by establishing more open communication with the parents and the community to support their students’ needs. The leadership teams will work together to set goals and objectives to support achievement in all grade levels. They will develop a framework for good communication between teachers and leaders so there is

I interviewed several service providers in my school, Stephen Knight Center for Early Education, that included the psychologist, special education teacher and a general education teacher. I interviewed Ms. Iris, the school psychologist, Ms. Kathy, the special education teacher, and Ms. Hilary, a general education teacher. Ms. Iris’ responsibilities include working with students who have social emotional needs. This can include behavior challenges, learning new social skills, managing grief, etc. She works directly with parents and teachers to provide resources regarding the child’s well-being, and ensure good attendance by setting up plans. Ms. Iris works with children in general education, counseling groups, and one-on-one situations, including special education minutes. Ms. Hilary is a general education classroom teacher. She is responsible for the well-being of her students academically, socially, physically and developmentally. Ms. Hilary also advocates for families and students to receive the support that they need to feel successful in their first years of school. Finally, Ms. Kathy is the staffing

On August 7,2017, Ms. Kim Brown, who has 25 years teaching experience in special education was interviewed and shared some of her teaching expertise. She is certified in K-8 regular education and K-12 mild-to-moderate special education. One of the most difficult tasks in her job is working in the SEAS program updating goal pages. Although this can become very frustrating, seeing special need children try so hard to complete a task can be very rewarding and makes all the work worth the frustration. Being able to receive more professional development on special education topics would be very encouraging and helpful towards her job. She has taught in a self-contained classroom for 14 years where behavior is an enormous issue and requires strict supervision.

Those simple instructions helped the students to get into their daily routine. With the increased discovery and changes in special education, the kids will benefits from newly developed technology in the future. During lunch, the students sat at the table with their peers. I felt like the school needed more set of hands; in other to achieve their desired goals. Ms. Gonzalez was a very happy and hardworking teacher who loved her job. I asked Ms. Gonzalez what motivated her to become a special education teacher. She said that she was motivated by her son. She had a three year old son who was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and Conduct Disorder (CD). She said during the initial stage of her son diagnoses, she felt hopeless, frustrated and taught she will not be able to take care of her child. She attended a lot of seminars and training on how to care for a child with such disorder. After series of training, she was able to care for her child and love her child just the way he was. When her child got older, she decided to become a special aid teacher. Her goal was to share her story; as well as educate the parents on how to care for children with disabilities and ways to reduce parental anxiety and frustration while caring for their

The last CEC standard reviews the importance of effective and production collaboration between families, service providers, educators, community agencies, and most importantly individuals with exceptionalities. Although I have collaborated with other educational professionals for seventeen years, I did not understand the components and strategies for effective collaboration until completing the graduate program. After completing the course, I have changed some of the ways and manners in which I collaborate with other education professionals and families of individuals with special needs. Since changing the ways in which I collaborate, I can tell a positive change in my professional and personal relationships with others.

As I completed the UNSW Professional Development Program , I was invited to apply for a pilot project called ‘NSW Global Scope’ offered by StudyNSW NSW Department of Premier & Cabinet and Sydney-based education services and technology start-up, Intersective during Semester 1 2016.

This week I learn about Internet Safety. Doug discusses ways you can help students to use the Internet safety and make sure they are not on any inappropriate websites. Some of my colleagues had opinions how they think having parents on their social media websites were inappropriate and some of my colleagues said how it was not inappropriate. My opinion about social media is that everything should be appropriate there should be no reason why you have the parents on your Instagram page whether you are hiding something or not. I believe if you want to have connected with parents it should be face to face communication, telephone, or an email. In the future, I would even prefer to use Voice Thread with my parents and students.

My overall experience in Practicum 3 was a good and an enriching one. It was an eye opening experience on the general on goings of a secondary school in Quebec. Not only I learnt immensely about the high school culture but also about the challenging task of management of teenagers. I worked and learnt how to cooperate with my cooperating teacher, supply teachers, students and school staff. From the constructive feedback, observations and suggestions from my cooperating teacher and supply teachers, I adapted and tried to improve to give my best for good pedagogical practices. A particularly serious classroom management issue made my experience in high school quite challenging. With respect to all the practicums, I felt better prepared for Practicum III and yet, I had many questions pertaining the role of a teacher. I did question of what I was doing wrong or was I fit for teaching at all. The Discussion Forum available in one of our classes in the BEALS program was a significant resource for better understanding and guidance in such an issue. I have learnt my lessons that questioning is a good exercising

“Special education labels don’t define children; Children define themselves” (Dalien, 2015). I am interested in becoming a special education teacher because I have always loved being around children, and I have a soft spot for kids with autism and other disabilities. The first time that I ever thought about working with special needs children was when I was in the fifth grade. My mom worked at my school as a teacher assistant in a first grade classroom, so in the morning I would go to her classroom and wait for the bell to ring. A little boy named Alex who had Cerebral palsy and a spinal problem, came into class early as well. I immediately connected with him, and began going to my mom’s room every morning to play with him before class. It soon became the highlight of my day. Alex could not talk very well and could not walk, so we rolled cars around the floor, traced shapes on to the whiteboard, or sometimes crawled on the floor chasing each other as monsters. I loved seeing how me playing with him made him smile so big and become more outgoing. My dream is to give kids like Alex a reason to smile and help them reach their full potential. In this speech you will learn all about special education teachers, including, but not limited to: What they do, where they typically work, their environment, how much they get paid, benefits the job entails, the education and skills required to become a special education teacher, and information on the job outlook.

This upcoming semester at Wright State University will mark my sixth term as a student in the Raj Soin College of Business. Throughout the last three years I have been pursuing a dual degree in Human Resource Management and General Business Management, with an intended minor of Emergency Management. When I began my journey at Wright State I knew I wanted to learn how I could better help others, help others in areas in which I could not, yet I was unsure of how I was going to see that to fruition. Fortunately, through numerous workshops hosted by the School of Business, insightful opinions of seasoned professors, and the careful advice of advisors I found a niche, in Human Resources, that will allow me to guide others to reach their utmost potential.

For this final reflection I will go over my goals and explain my outcome was, and my experience in an eighth week History 7A class. My first goal, was to stick to the prompt of the assignments. For, which I believe I remained true to my goal and achieved it. I created a list at the beginning of each assignment to remind myself of the required materials that needed be covered, and made sure to cover each and every item of the list—which primarily consisted of questions provided by the professor, or items I felt were critical to provide detailed information. I read the textbook and other required materials, moreover, wrote notes to point out the main ideas. My second goal was to avoid distraction, and remain focus at all times. This was a difficult goal to achieve. I attempted to hide my phone and avoid listening to music while reading or working on assignments. But, that did not worked, I would

Upon graduating from William Penn University with my Bachelors of Arts Degree, I directly started my teaching career with the Sigourney Community School District. For the past nine years, I have worked as a special education teacher for grades 7-12. During this time, I worked very closely with my administrators and AEA core team members to ensure students were receiving FAPE. As my experiences grew, so did my leadership roles. As colleagues moved and left Sigourney, I quickly became the “experienced” special education teacher in my building. With this unofficial title and quality work ethic, my administrators placed me on the district and building leadership teams as the special education
