Education Program...

I started the education program at the beginning of January this year. It has been a lot of fun, stress, and work---but I know it is all worth it.





In this particular block I have four classes: diversity, special education, reading and writing, and curriculum. All four teach us how to manage a classroom, include each student, teach to the students needs, and how to plan and implement lesson plans following state curriculum. It has been a fun experience thus far and I am excited to see what else they will teach me.



Also, part of this block we will be working with Wahlquist Jr. High School. We have been assigned a co-op teacher in our minor content. We will observe for three works, co-teach for three weeks, then I will teach her classes ten days straight. I did my first observation Monday (Jan. 30th) and I have my work cut out for me. Her two classes I am working with are wild --solely because she has not discipline in place.

I have worked with difficult students before and so I am sure it will all work out in the end.

I also wanted to include one of my assignments on my blog. We have to write a daily journal about our experiences in the program, what we have learned, etc.... I decided I wanted to keep them on here for future references, so I will be uploading them probably every Tuesday. Since I am a few weeks into it already I have decided to upload the first four weeks today (sorry for the overload)!

Thanks for reading!
