I am a teacher at Buckeye Career Center! This is my 10th year of teaching; however, it's my third year as the Teaching Professions instructor. I am a graduate of Kent State University where I received my degree in Social Studies Education. I have also attained my Master's degree in Curriculum, Assessment and Instruction through Walden University. I have been married for ten years. My husband and I have two children, Chloe and Carson. We are also expecting our third child in January.

As I think about my special needs rotation I can't help but be excited because, I really want to see how I react to them and how I like it. The only concerns I have really is that I won't be able to do it. What I would feel most comfortable with I do not want to do. I am thinking about going to a classroom were they are not yet MH but not Inclusion. I really want to get the most out of this rotation because this might be what I want to minor in, in college.
Thinking about the special needs students I've already worked with, I know I feel more comfortable working with children who have special needs whos developmental age is about Kindergarten to 1st grade, I don't that there is a specific age level or group I'd perfer. I'll go anywhere you put me. :)
Some expectations I have is for me to be nervous, but I'll be ready to learn.
I'm concerned because this is the area I have the least experience with and I am scared I won't know how to deal with a situation if one comes up.
The type of classroom I would feel most comfortable in an inclusion class but I want to experience MH Unit and Starlight. This rotation I am not picky because I have never been around anyone with special needs. All of the classes for this rotation sound very interesting so whatever class I would be in I would enjoy. Some expectations I have is I know I will be very nervous to go to the class. Then some concerns I have is that I will not know how to react to the kids. But overall I am excited for this rotation but very nervous.
I would feel comfortable with any of the environment but I think I would feel most comfortable in the inclusion setting, I would be more comfortable with them because I really am never around the other environment alot but I am willing to try anything new. I am pretty excited to do that rotation. Some of the expectations I have is helping the students more one on one. My concerns are them not understanding what I am talking about and not asking questions. I want to be able to help the students with anything they need help on but I want them to feel comfortable asking me questions too.
The type of classroom I think i would feel most comfortable in would most likely be an inclusion class becuase i've been able to expeirence this type of classroom at dover with Mrs. Smith. I really couldn't give anymore of an answer until we do are special ed. rotation. I am really excited for it!
I am concerned that I will not have the patience to work with them. I am expecting to go into a classroom and working more one on one. When I saw the special education students at West they worked very well together and for the teacher. I would rather be in a classroom with all special education kids. The special education teacher at West asked me to come work with her kids for my rotation, that class is all special education students.
I am not really concerned about anything with my special needs rotation. I am very excited to say the least! I believe I would most likely feel more comfortable in Starlight or an MH unit. I feel I would do best in one of these two classrooms because I really want to teach special needs kids. I really want to impact their lives in some way, shape, or form.
When we go into the special needs classroom I am going in with an open mind. I do not really know what I am expecting, just to go in and learn as much as I can from the teacher. The only thing I am concerned about is how I will handle different situations. I think it is going to be a good learning experience and I am excited to try it out. Also, I do not know which type of classroom environment I would feel more comfortable in. I am pretty much open to try anything!
I would be most comfortable working with an inclusion group. A majority of my time in the classroom is spent working with the inclusion kids currently and I really enjoy helping them. On both prior rotations, I worked with students who were in the inclusion group and I really enjoyed helping them understand the material. It seemed as though they were just expected to know what was expected of them without anyone really explaining it. I picked up on this and explained it to them in a way they could understand. I think I could help make a large difference working with a group of inclusion students. In contrast, however, I am not sure if I am ready to work with an MH class.
I am nervous about the special educations class rotation. I feel safe in the middle school and in the elementary school but I am kind of uneasy about this rotation coming up. I feel more comfortable where the teacher and me and the students can all understand each other and I can observe but not feel out of place.
I am excited for the special needs rotation. I love knowing that I am needed and that why with the middle school rotation I don’t feel that important in the classroom. So knowing that these students will need me will help me want to go through this rotation. Some of my expectations are; dealing with some students who might have anger issues; having to do things one on one with the students and not so much as a class, modifying lesson plans to fit the needs of the students. I am looking forward to this rotation.
I am really nervous for this rotation. I tend to be impatient, and that makes me nervous. Miss Lefler at the West School would like me in her classroom though. I'm expecting more one on one time with the students, so that will be nice. I just don't know how to handle certain situations if I would need to. I think it will be a good learning experience though.
I nervous for this up coming rotation. Sometimes Ican be very impatient. But all in all, I'm excited for this rotation. Im expecting to do more one on one with the students.
