Individual Interview Assignment - KRoman

"If I had to describe my career in one word, I would describe it as ever-changing. Every day prevents its own set of unique challenges, both good & bad. Educational practices are constantly changing and it is important to stay current with new strategies and technologies."

"I often think first-year teachers struggle with discipline, so my advice would be to develop a behavior-management system that is consistent and encourages positive behavior."

"In order to encourage someone to join the education field, I would tell them how rewarding of a job it is and tell them of the ability it gives you to change the lives of children. There is nothing better than having a former student thank-you or write you a letter to thank you for the impact you had on them, even at such a young age."

"My love

for helping people coupled with my love for children is what inspired me to become a teacher.”

“I communicate with families through my school website, Remind101, email, phone calls, notes, and sending their student home with hand-outs."

"The most rewarding part of my job is watching kids learn how to read because I believe that is the best thing you can do for them. There is nothing like seeing the excitement and understanding of when the same student that said 'I can’t do this' is now a fluent reader." "I find that sometimes the most challenging part of the job is understanding each child’s background and realizing they don’t all come from the same home-life."

'Stop Light'

"Students are given 1 warning of misbehavior before their magnet gets moved from green to yellow, to orange, to red. A “red” magnet means a call home. Our school district also has a ticket system. Students are rewarded for positive behavior which motivates kids to respond with good behavior.”

Handling IEPs

"First of all, I familiarize myself with the IEP to figure out what the goals are and comply with those goals. I provide instruction based on their needs and level."
