#paraeducation

I do have a job interview tomorrow for a para position only 3 miles from the house. I'll probably get it since I am an Amazing paraeducator - I love my students. And I make sure they know that I believe in them. I've worked with students who are not struggling at all with academics but need help with social/emotional growth (example: strong anxiety and depression that needs a support system in place to learn coping mechanisms) to students who are non-verbal and using mobility aids (learning how to work a mechanized wheelchair and how to use technology to move towards independence in movement and communication). It is So rewarding! And I am, in no way, upset that I may have to wait a couple more years to move forward into teaching.

Incredibly amazed. She works with down sydrom children, It's so amazing. I don't know how my mom does it, she has such a big heart sometimes. She may not realize but she is my biggest hero.

These kids are incredible, but so hard to be around sometimes.

I'm trying to get her to make a tumblr documenting about her expierence, and showing all of her idea's.
