Full House

Although I have worked with children with with special needs before I have never had a class where all of the students had challenges. They all need attention and assistance and some times it is hard to decide where to go first. Unfortunately the students exhibiting bad behaviors are the first to get the attention and the children who are quiet end up waiting. I try to watch the teachers who have been working with these students for several years to get an idea how best to make it work. Every day it seems like a process of divide and conquer. Even though someone may be a one-on-one aide they also try to help the students who sit nearby. I have already learned a lot of techniques from my supervising teacher. The rewarding part is when you see a student understanding what you are trying to show them. After all that is why we are here to show them the way.
