Journal Entry: Observation Student Reflection/ Commentary

Attached is my Student Reflection for the Supervised session from last week.  I made commentary (colored in red) on the observation page as well.  I hope that is alright.  It was helpful to add in my thoughts directly next to yours so I could correlate my comments. 

As an added note, I was wondering if it would be possible to schedule the next two supervised sessions before Rachel comes back.  She will be returning November 27th.  At this point I will have full access to any of my students up until then.  I do not know for sure how things will change upon her return.  Let me know what you think...

Thanks.

    I read over your reflection - you are doing great, Misty. There is so much to learn. Sometimes it is nice to just have someone come and give perspective. It just helps put things in place and give students a place to anchor themselves. It takes so long to really know a student....a lot of experimenting to start with.

    Would Oct. 29th work for an observation date? Which students would you like me to observe? I can observe progress on the same students or we could move to another student about whom you have questions. Let me know!

    Thanks, Misty.

    I appreciate your help in providing perspective. Honestly, there are times I feel lost because there is no guidance with any of these students and experimenting is all I've been doing.

    October 29th should work. My schedule is pretty tight on Mondays, so I may not have a lot of time to debrief, but I will see if I can adjust that for the day. I am at 4 (possibly 5) schools that day. I think I would like you to come to the same school for two reasons. First, I want to see if you feel I have made any progress with a student you have already seen. Second, I would like to see how you would approach the other one; and have you take a look at another. The time would be 10:30-11:30. I push in to a 3K room for a student with multiple challenges at 10:30. There is also another student in that room I work with that you might be able to take a glance at while you are there. There are a lot of adults in that room already, so I need to clear it with that teacher specifically first, but it is only for 15 minutes. Then I go back to a pull out time with G.G (the second student you already met). I will also double check that it is a normal day.... last time was picture day and the kids get a bit thrown off on the weird schedules. I can meet you in the same room (Child Find Screening Room) if you want to get there before me. As I mentioned, I come from a school on the north side of town, so I get there just before the time if traffic goes well. What do you think? Would that work well?

    I'm also going to try to send you some information on the students in the 3K class. I will explain more about why I want you to see them when I send the info.

Journal Post #5 (3rd Video Observation)

BACKGROUND: My previous focus student, CLD, has taken a time of absence for the cochlear surgery on her other ear.  She is not scheduled to return until the first week of December.  I have chosen a different student, EK. EK just turned six.  She is in Kindergarden at Cooper Elementary.  EK has a severe to profound (mostly profound) bilateral hearing loss.  She wears behind the ear hearing aids, but they are currently set at the highest adjustment.  Over the past year and a half, EK's hearing has dropped significantly and her aids have needed adjusting nearly every six months.  At this time, her hearing and speech are the primary concerns.  However, there has been some discussion about her fine motor skills, the speed and excitability at which she functions, and her ability to focus.  She is spunky and has a lot of energy:).  She always makes me smile and is so much fun to work with each day.  EK uses a sign language interpreter ...

Journal Post #4

BACKGROUND/ OVERVIEW After traveling to so many different schools and working with a lot of younger children, I have decided to tackle a few needs of my own.  This first need you will see in the video organization.  I have purchased a few items that I am hoping will help, but this is definitely a work in progress.  I wanted something that was collapsible and portable to serve as a schedule for sessions with students.  I have been really trying to incorporate the Foundations of Literacy intervention with several of my students.  It is new for me, so there is an element of becoming familiar with the materials and process.  However, I really like the design of this program and think it is a good fit.... now I just need practice.  In addition, I like the way FOL is set up and think that the organizational concepts will work with many of my older students as well, even if they are above the materials.  In this video, you will see the picture schedule...

Journal Post #3:  Video Observation  NOTE: This is my first ever video post and the technology has not been cooperative.  I have trying different things for three weeks now, so hopefully this will finally work. Student Background Information: CLD is a student in 4K located at the Early Learning Center (ELC).  She came with her family from Burma near the end of last year.  In the home, her mother speaks only a tribal language from her home country and her father speaks Burmese (along with being able to communicate with mom).  CLD's intelligence levels were tested off the charts, so she is quite bright, however, she was completely nonverbal.  She qualified for Early Childhood due to her lack of speech.  Dad had also suspected a hearing loss for some time.  They were able to get her hearing tested and found that she had a bilateral profound hearing loss.  I was informed, but could not formally work with her until we received her au...
