New Things to Come

Last week the class went on a trip to the everglades. This week Skarlot presented our Standards Triple Venn Diagram. She tells me that the class was very happy with our research. The National standards are very basic and easy to understand. The sunshine standards have become more lengthy, but they are also more specific and better to set as direct goals.

My hours at Miami Senior High are getting more intense. Working with my cooperative teacher Ms. Delgaudio is a delight. She has given me a lot of room to interact with the students. I've recognized a student with an articulation disorder, I'm helping a young girl with her self-esteem and I'm going to work with a tactile learner that I also discovered. The students are in an ESE gifted class, 6th grade Biology.

Ms. Delgaudio has a 4 year degree in Biology and tells me that she is amazed with all the Pedagogy Miami-Dade College Students are given in this program. She tells me that it was much harder for her and Mr. Fernandez because they never took education classes, but were expected to come up with a way to teach from the get go. Ms. Delgaudio is loved by all her students. There are students in her classroom that have been students of hers since earlier grades. She is really someone I look up to and hope to be just like her.
