My first practicum placement for this semester, I was placed at Henry F. Moss Middle School. When I found out that I had to observe and teach a lesson to middle schoolers, I was not thrilled. I have never had any interest in teaching middle school so I was dreading the next one-hundred and forty observation hours. Despite my initial thoughts, I enjoyed my time at Moss Middle. The teacher that I was placed with was Mrs. Durbin. She was very open to having me in her class and was never opposed to

I have spent countless hours planning, teaching, and working with my student with the knowledge that this experience will help impact my teaching in positive ways. Planning

One aspect of time management in my practicum experience that stood out to me is how in home health you set your own schedule and time to meet with patients A lot of home health is based on making time for charting, driving, breaks, and appointments with patients so that it is congruent with an eight hour shift.

Throughout my practicum experience, I worked towards creating an environment that was highly supportive of individual and collaborative learning. I strived to encourage positive social interaction and to facilitate active engagement in learning and self-motivation. With the help of my professor and cooperating teacher, I was able to practice implementing this in my teaching. I have previously learned the importance of reaching this standard; however, I have not had experience of working with this

Reflection of Practicum Learning Goals During this semester, I focused on furthering my understanding of the basic skills and integrating them properly in therapy sessions and hoped to work on more advanced skills.

Moreover, trying new interventions was nerve-wrecking; however, it was also very exciting. Hence, some of the interventions that I used were implemented well and

Throughout this experience, it has put me out of my comfort zone. I learned at a summer conference that if you are comfortable in what you are doing you are not learning. Well, I have been extremely uncomfortable all while learning a plethora of new knowledge. This practicum has brought me new involvement in committees at our school and helped me in finding my

When I walked into my practicum classroom, I already had a vague idea of what my personal philosophy was. After being in the class my philosophy dramatically changed.
