3 things that have caught my eye this were how different some of my students can be during this transitional period in their lives. I have noticed what it is like to have an absent teacher who makes little to no connection with the students and how that can affect the student. One final observation can be attributed to how gen. ed. students act around and treat the students I work with. It seems to be a hit or miss regarding middle school students, ranging from disinterest, to friendly.
How can I help students become involved in the social community of a school? Talking with their peers on a casual basis? What can I do for the students who have no desire to be around others? How can I be present in the classroom while keeping up on the paperwork oriented side of the job?
What kind of curriculum can I use or design for the majority of my students who are so vastly different from each other? I would like to get my students involved in the community outside of school, but sometimes it doesn't seem realistic at this point when considering number of adults, number of students, and the pros and cons of leaving the school regarding behaviors.
