Summary and plea

This has been a great class, I have enjoyed the content, information, books, people and especially the teacher. Since taking this class, my work schedule has been split. My time now is shared between the high school and middle school. while at the middle school I teach a "reading comprehension" class to iep students. I have used so many things from this class in there and the students really have enjoyed what I bring to the table for the,. I love when my personal classes coincide with my students classes, I retain the information so much better!

I have learned the importance of being able to reach those with reading issues/impairments in my content area (history) and how quickly these students can get lost if it is not broken down for them.

My plea as a future educator is this:

I promise to attempt to reach every student right where they are, no matter where they are and I will do my best to simplify and redirect them to get them onto the path of success through reading content and comprehension.

Week 7

Tonight was a great run through chapter seven and stopping at great ideas along the way to use in my lesson plans. I love the thinking outside of the box and creative ways of teaching understanding. Idon't foresee   just using one strategy but I do foresee using the TPRC worksheet this week. (A quick change to my daily schedule has me now at the high school from 1st period to the end of second then darting over to the middle school and finishing my day there. I taught a reading comprehension class today and integrated mapping, I think this TPRC will more than likely be used Friday with this group. I do like VSS as well and can't wait to introduce this to these students as well.

Observation

I had the pleasure of inviting Mrs.Forsee into my sped room with my cooperating teacher yesterday. I did a reading comp lesson on a fun trip to the mountains to eat at a cafe. There was a lot of front loading done, I provided plenty of pictures to associate with, asked the rig questions and was able to keep them engaged and wanting more. The over all experience with her as my observer was awesome! She was very positive, very polite and very impressed that this was my first observation. She gave me some great advice and made the whole process as pain free as possible....phew, thank gosh...the past week I had  I was in serious need of a friendly review 😜
