Special Education Student Analysis

While attending John Jay I began working as a Paraprofessional for the NYC Department of Education, in a low-income community with students that suffer from Emotional Distress Disorders. has instilled a love and passion to work hard and help these students achieve their educational goals. My students have influenced me to become a Special Education teacher; being able to break down assignments, watching the understanding dawn on their faces, and then seeing them even explaining it to their classmates brings a smile to my face. It is more than the satisfaction of a job well done; it's knowing that they

    Since I was initially a nursing student when I entered college, I had never considered becoming a teacher. Ever since I can remember, I have always wanted a career where I could serve others, and I always believed that being a nurse would allow me to achieve this goal. Still, I fell in love with the education field the moment I started volunteering and aiding in my aunt's classrooms, which they taught grades TK– 4. I immediately changed my major because it makes me feel extremely fortunate to think that one day I would be able to teach, laugh, and help my kids in the same manner that my aunts do. To begin with, I worked as a student intern, as a tutor for the Advancement Via Individual Determination program for four years.…

    After volunteering in my children’s classrooms for years, I decided I would go to school to at least become a teacher’s aid. At the time I had met a teacher, Mrs. Zinno I told her my plans of becoming a teachers aid, she suggested that if I was going to go back to school for two years just to be an aid, why not go for another two years and become a teacher. I did alternative certification to become a paraprofessional or a teacher’s aide. When I completed my paraprofessional certification I still felt that it was just not enough. The words of Mrs. Zinno stuck in my head, I knew if I could complete this I could keep going; I set my goals higher. I attended Tarrant County College and received my Associates Degree; then I thought, “why stop here?” So, I continued to work on an Associates in Education.…

    While working in the Financial Aid field I have had the privilege of working with a number of different individuals of diverse backgrounds. I have come across people from all walks of life, including those with severe disabilities, individuals with limited resources, and even individuals with different cultural and ethical backgrounds. Each encounter has been unique in its own way with learning experiences that I have carried with me through my years of employment. Additionally when growing up I grew up in a very diverse area and have had personal experiences with working with people of various ethnicities, social, economical and physical backgrounds. Through the years I have learned to never judge a book by its cover and have learned that working with different types of people may have its challenges at times, but it is never impossible to work with different types of people regardless of their backgrounds. With my life experiences, both professionally and personally, working with such a broad range of individuals has assisted me in growing professionally and has shown me that I have the ability to work with just about anyone I come in contact with. As with anything in life, the effort and understanding that you apply to the situation is what you will get out of it. slfjsdfjlfjsldfjdlfkjas fj jfakfjfjaffjalkfj afjaflajfajfajfalsfjalfka kldfjafj akdfjafj;af ljdfafl;ajfWhile working in the Financial Aid field I have had the privilege of working with a number of different individuals of diverse backgrounds.

    On Thursday, September 17, I went to Hillcrest Elementary/Visual Performing and Arts School to observe Mrs. Mary Jackson’s music class. When I got there the students were sitting in their chair and learning about the music notes AGF. I saw two Special Education Teachers in the class and they told me that they were here to help the exceptional students. These notes are short notes and high pitch notes. After the lecture, Mrs. Jackson had the student watch and learn the song “Fiddle Eye Fee” in which it had animal puppets singing. Every time the chicken puppet came on, it would sing “Fiddle Eye Fee” and the teacher would sing along and play the xylophone. After the demonstration, the teacher had each row of students play the xylophone. As the…

    My mom was the first in her family to graduate college, and my dad never went to college. This caused my parents to place a huge emphasis on education. Attending a private school I really received a great education. Then my dad lost his job and I had to attend a public school which was brand new experience. The classes were larger and there weren't many resources available. For instance, we had to sometimes share books with other students because we didn't have enough for everyone. With this setback we still had amazing teachers who were passionate about teaching. My teachers throughout the years showed me the importance of dedicated and passionate educators. These experiences led to my interest in Teach For America and their mission to strengthen the educational equity m. I think I will be a great fit for Teach For America because I received an education in a low income…

    As one that enjoys helping others, I have to constantly remind myself change can be stressful and many times fear of the unknown can make us second guess our decisions. However, I know everything I have endured in the last couple of years will make me a better school counselor and it all will be worth it. I believe every child should have an opportunity to receive an education and if we want the world to change, we must help others succeed and receive an education. Becoming a school counselor is a life dream of mine. As an undergrad student, I completed my course work in elementary education because in the State I was living in it required you to have two years of classroom instruction in order to be a school counselor. At that time I was unable to do my student teaching because of family obligations and took my degree in another program. Now that my children are older and decisions I make in life are more about what makes me happy, I’m determined to get my degree in school counseling. Not only do I look forward to working with children and helping them with their concerns, I’m also looking forward the work days as well as the vacation days. In order to assist others we as school counselors must also take care of our well-being to, something I don’t get a chance to do that often working in social services. I look forward collaborating with everyone, learning new theories and processes to making…

    In 2014 I began teaching at Patrick Henry Elementary School in Martinsville, Virginia. It was my second year of teaching and I was eager, “prepared,” and confident. I learned quickly that this was unlike any school in which I had ever taught. Patrick Henry is a predominantly economically disadvantaged school which means, I was not as prepared as I thought. My first year at Patrick Henry was challenging and there were many bumps in the road but, I learned how to navigate them quickly. Teaching at Patrick Henry has been one of the most rewarding things I have done it my life. By obtaining my Maters in Curriculum and Instruction I hope to give back to a school community that I have learned so much from.…
