Part I: Physical Classroom Setting
Dimensions: 22’ width x 38’ length

This map is showing a representation of the physical setting of, one of the classrooms where I service my students as a support facilitator.
The teacher area not only functions as an area where small group instructions and/or intensive instruction in one-on-one situation is given, but also functions as an area where students can work in small groups on writing assignments, and as an area where students can collaboratively conduct discussions.

    Part of Rabel’s classroom literacy instruction was also focused on him writing either the days routine in the morning or after a lesson. I was able to observe several things about Rabel as a writer. I noticed that Rabel enjoys to wre, but once again has a hard time staying on task. Rabel is very intelligent and can write about almost anything. When they were learning how to write poems, I observed him create a poem about the day he went to the zoo. Rabel is a very interesting young boy that when is focused, he can complete any task assigned to him. I also noticed that his personality comes out in his writing. While Rabel was writing I noticed that he wasn’t scared to use words he didn’t know. His teacher encouraged her students to try their…

    The second goal was to help foster parents recognize that they have the power to help reduce the likelihood of the aforementioned effects. Foster parents typically aspire to help children and teenagers, which is why they choose to foster, but some may not realize just how impactful their time with this population can be. Building on their desire to help create a better life for foster youth, this project empowers parents to become more active in the adolescent’s growth. It is simple to advise parents to teach young people to become contributing members of society, but it is another thing to make that a reality. The video and brochure are intended to offer some concrete suggestions foster parents can implement. While neither provide an all-encompassing list, they are a starting point for guiding youth towards…

    Studies have shown that adult- child relationships lead to a more productive and healthy working force as the children grow up. The more role models children grow up the better lives the children are predicted to have. This is because adults provide children with varieties of options for their futures. This in turn teaches them to strive for their dreams and all that they want in their lives. If today’s youth can be the generation with the most help from adults, the country can be one step closer to the goal of ending all shootings in…

    This article is about a high school counselor who realizes the struggles of students who are involved in the transition from the juvenile system into adulthood. The students range from having an emotional disorder to being incarcerated to getting out of a juvenile detention center to having a learning disability in a school setting. The couselor has decided that a school-based mentoring program will help ease students with transitioning back to their neighborhood schools. She feels that this type of mentoring will improve students’ academic grades, communication and social skills, and will get students involved in their community. One of the main reasons she wants to start this program is students who return to school from a juvenile facility face multiple academic and behavioral challenges. Students may feel unprepared to join the work force due to poor academic skills. This could be a cause of missing many days of school. More often then not, students with disabilities are more likely to go right back to a juvenile facility.( Waller, Katherine S., David E. Houchins, and Patsy Thomas Nomvete." Beyond Behavior 19.3 (2010): 30-35)…

Every Tuesday I and the other mentors met at the community center and bonded with these young men over humor, laughter and storytelling, but at the heart of the program were the young…
