My Sabin Experience

As Ms. Brown and I walked down the stairs back to the classroom she was asking me why I wanted to be a teacher. We arrived at th classroom door and I told her, the reason is because I have struggled in school with ADHD and ADD and I wanted to make sure students get the help they need. We both sat down and started the interview. One answer that Ms. Brown said "I always wanted to help guide children to see their path to success. To me it all starts when the child is little" (personal communication, March 9, 2017). I was blessed to have the chance to talk one with Ms. Brown. She was happy that I choose her to do my shadowing with. When Ms. Brown showed me her lesson plans I was amazed. Know I have a good idea as to what to expect when I start

In the Beginning After spending approximately 54 hours with a classroom, there is an abundance of experiences I could elaborate on that taught me something. Starting at the beginning, I was anxious about this placement. I knew I loved children, but I felt an incredible amount of pressure to ensure that being a teacher is exactly what I want to do, as my program is so direct in that career path.

Carnes I feel as though I have a better understanding of dealing with the school system from the parent’s point of view. I think doing this interview can help me to be more prepared if a child with disabilities is present in my classroom. This is actually the cause of the high point of the interview because Ms. Carnes had a surprised tone when hearing my questions because of the dedication the educational system is putting into preparing the new generation of teachers to be fully aware of any situation we may face with a student with disabilities. I feel a sense of pride knowing I can be knowledgeable in any situation may face with these special cases in the classroom. On the other hand, I was surprised by the amount of patience she has as a parent with a child with cerebral palsy. From her answers in the interview she has to face challenges parents with the average child do nor. I gave me a deep respect to the parents who face these challenges such as making sure their child receives the proper education they need. Lastly, after completion of the interview, I feel slightly more nervous about going into the teaching field. I know teaching these students I want to make sure

I have been at my site for about seven almost eight weeks now and I cannot believe we are already half way done with the semester. It has been a great journey thus far and I hope to learn more in the second half of my journey. Since this is my half way point I want to mention that everything seems to be so much more comfortable, but not necessarily easier yet. I think being a good counselor takes many years and much more reflection on a daily basis. I also feel like I am learning new things every day as a trainee and that I am working on what it really means to be a counselor each day. Finding my identity as a counselor is a big part of this process and I feel as though it is always changing and transforming into a better self each day. I like

Week two of field observation at Crestone Charter School. My Second week of field observations was really fun and interactive. I had the opportunity to work with several students from the k-1 class with special needs. We traveled to several reading stations and did a read along with the fourth and fifth-grade students. At arrival, I met with the main Para, Ammie Morphet and was informed that Lexi whom is one of the charter schools highest priority/needs students was the student I would be working with. Lexi usually has a personal in class Para that works with her throughout the day, but she was out sick. Since I know Lexi and have personal experience working with her we came to the conclusion that it would be best if I assisted with Lexis daily routine and any other classroom needs. This allowed Mrs. Morphet to attend to the other students she had previously scheduled for us to meet with.

Getting to Know the Sabin Neighborhood: Schools, Home Values, Parks, Dining, Walk Score and More

Kay has improved many more lives than she has told me about but what she has told me has amazed me. She has a love for helping children and that is such a gift. When I look at the profession I think that the rewards outweigh the struggles and I am excited to see what this career path has for me in life. I have always wanted to work in the school district just as my mom does. While talking with Kay I could easily see the passion she had for this career, it seems as though she wakes up liking to go to work unlike many people in the world today. I have learned a lot talking to her and would be interested in sitting in with her one day while she does her daily work as a school

I had my job shadow at West Liberty Middle School and I chose this school because I have been there previously. I spent the whole day at this school and learned a lot throughout the day. I am a family friend with the teacher who teaches seventh and eight grade English. Although I do not plan to teach middle school I still enjoy and learn a lot going to this school, because there’s a very diverse group of students from my different backgrounds. I feel like shadowing this school is much more realistic to the difficulties I may encounter as a teacher, therefore I benefit from shadowing this teacher and school.

Results of Mentor Teacher Discussions: We again touch on the topic of never stopping with a child, even though a child might be greatly above the grade they are in or the grade you are teaching it’s highly important to go find more challenging work for them to be successful.

Last year, I joined Relay Tutor Corps not really knowing what to expect. Little did I know, it would change my life forever. Prior to attending Tulane, I had never considered teaching as a future career path. After taking a class with Dean Cross I became enthralled with public education

Levan’s classroom, I was able to see a change in one of the students. This student is usually having a bad day whenever I am there. He was cleaning out his desk when I came in. Once he was done, he had to sit with his head down because he owed minutes from circle time. As he was sitting there, I reminded him to keep his head down and the time would go by faster. When he got up, he told me he really liked having me help and remind him what to do. He also said I am one of the bestest teachers and he loves me. As he told me this, I wanted to start crying. I have never seen this side of him. I knew he had a good side, but usually I never get to see it. Once I saw this, I knew working in the education field is where I

My priority as an educator is my students and families. I take my job seriously by giving the children accountability throughout my availability, and consistency as I perform professionally with countless ethical responsibility my job. I’m grateful and thankful to provide to my job a perfect work attendance and reliability by being here. Also, by focusing in our classrooms environment and the quality of DAP activities for our students (Kindergarten Readiness). Here, in Broadview we are unique, because our site is form of three classes and most importantly being part of a team of great experienced and highly qualified teachers. We work together and collaborate by helping each other to run our classrooms

With now finishing my 5th week working alongside Mrs. Tench, I have realized that I have not done as much as I did in the first three weeks. Since then the activates have become more repetitive, I am either making copies, taking kids to places, or reading along side the

Today I was able to spend more one on one time with one of the students and I was able to help him have what they classified as a good day. What’s classified as a good day is where he is up right and focused on what’s happening around him, he’s able to complete work and if he doesn’t have a melt down during classes. I also met at least part of the goal of actively evaluates interactions/interventions with clientele through de-briefing with my supervisor. Everyday after the last bell Mrs. Barnes and me try to have a chat about how the day went and what I had saw and accomplished. It is also at this point where we make any further plans for the next day or up coming week. I feel like I have also completed a goal of becoming familiar with administrative/record keeping procedures of the organization because I’ve sat through 8 periods worth of resources classes to see how the teachers keep up with the students and also the record keeping that the EAs do with their

My teacher shadowing occurred on October 21, 2016 this was one of the best experiences of my life. I was able to see what a day would be like as a future educator. This experience made me feel as if I am going into the right profession. The
