For my Intern 5 week Special Education placement, I am currently at Fairmont Senior High School. Here, I will be working with 9th, 11th, and 12th graders in the subjects of math and chemistry. I will also be working with an individual student for one period using Plato program. Our students were scheduled to arrive last Thursday 8/18, but due to a construction and espestis problem…the date was pushed back until tomorrow 8/24. Although the students have not arrived yet, I have been enjoying getting to know my mentor teacher as well as the rest of the Fairmont Senior staff. They have all been extremely helpful and welcoming (especially through these difficult times). Because this is the first time I have ever been in a high school teaching setting, they have been willing to help in whatever way possible and offering lots of great advice. I am very excited to take on this challenge of teaching the high school students, especially in an area in which I am not my strongest…MATH.

Gina,
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read about your experiences once the students arrive. It'll be interesting for you to consider how you're able to make use of specific pieces of advice you've been given in order to plan lessons, address student issues, etc.
I'm also wondering....what are you wondering about...given this is your first placement in high school....and maybe in light of the advice you've been given.
Looking forward to future posts.
