Guidance to Special Education

First things first! I am set to graduate next week!! So excited! Now on to my career!

To be a special education (pre-school) teacher/teacher assistant you’ve got to have the patience to work with children. My perspective is if you have a place in your heart for the love of these children then go for it! I certainly do! Teach them and the parents it will be a step by step process but the amount of growth your going to see from that child is so cool!!

To be honest I’ve had my days of challenge. But that’s where the patience comes in. Just take a breath, do some mental yoga and come back to it when the child is ready. Hey, I just have to remember the children love achieving goals and when ever they act up just show the child the goal chart and say this is what we are working towards. They then work to try to earn that prize. The children can understand and recognize good behavior but sometimes they can’t control it…but sometimes they can. We work on that. From my perspective being a student teacher this semester, coming home from a morning of observing/part time assistant teacher in the PPCD classroom ( preschool program for children with disabilities) for a semester, it is rewording to know that you are working hard for these kids.

Now that I am graduating, I am looking forward to working with these kids, full time as my life’s work!!!!
