I’m drained by the end of the week at Migrant Education. Being an assistant teacher is tough when you’re dealing with 9-11 year old kids. They’re so hyperactive and want to play constantly. Sometimes they enjoy jumping on my back and expecting piggy back rides. I would come into PD sore and sleepy but I usually fake the act and try my best to get over it.

In education, on-going professional development is a vital step to ensure that teachers are equipped with best practices to prepare students for the future.

Why is Professional Development (PD) critical to teacher preparation? Because Special Education Teachers are expected to teach aligned with the CCSS in their classrooms, it would be expected that they be part of some knowledge-based community that could enlighten them on evidence-based practices for delivering the core content to special education learners according to CCSS. Many teachers were already trained and out of IHE when the CCSS came into effect and many IHE are not on par with aligning their programs to accommodate CCSS; it is up to administration to ensure that teachers are educated on how to deliver instruction to meet the needs of the learners according to the new standards. Here is where professional development becomes crucial to the successful implementation of the CCSS. As a result, all educators (teacher educator, teachers, other staff members) at all levels of the education system requested professional growth targeted explicitly on those skills that will help them to successfully implement the CCSS (Massell & Perrault, 2014; peter, 2013).

The basis of the contract is recommendations, which will impact the future of nursing care, and include changes in “public and institutional policies at the national, state, and local levels” (Future, 2010).

Reflection on my career included, taking a look at the reason I choose nursing as a profession. Working in a retirement home for a few years prior to deciding to become a nurse helped to make the decision.

Seeing the difference the nurses made everyday, spending time with the residents and having the knowledge to help them, was a huge reminder that I was making the right choice. I remained in awe of the skills that the nurses possessed and how involved

This professional development activity was different than anything I have presented on in the past. In the past, I have always worked in groups and have never taken on a professional development presentation by myself. Since I was working on this alone, it allowed me to select a topic that I was interested in and that I thought would be useful to my department. The current climate at my school is rather negative, so it seemed like a welcomed change for my department to have a colleague from the school present to them, instead of someone from the district or someone that was hired to present.
