Teaching Assistant Reflection
Instead of being just the regular Teaching Assistant who takes attendance during class, I plan to personally connect with my students. I will be a TA who students respect and find approachable and dependable. I will accomplish that by not only learning all of my student’s names, but by getting to know each individual’s interests and goals. I want my students to come to me when they need help.
Without me, the class would lack an extra friend. Furthermore, the class would lack the positive energy I bring people; students would miss out on my passion toward business. Additionally, I have the ability to connect with many different people. Students need me to be there for them; I will help the students before they slip behind and keep them focused.

    In addition, to a staff recognition program, I created a paraprofessional in training presentation. The goal of the presentation was to train future paraprofessionals in their role and expectations as it relates to school policy. The presentation helped teachers provide less training to paraprofessionals during instructional time. They were better able to focus on teaching and achieving student goals. New paraprofessionals were more confident when stepping into the classroom. I take pleasure in being able to help teachers and paraprofessionals work together to meet the needs of the students.…

    I am currently completing my service learning at Martin Luther King Elementary School working with children ranging from Kindergarten to 5th grade in an after school program. This program provides the children with a safe and comforting place to do their homework, hangout with their friends, and get a snack. Since I am just getting to know these children I do not know everything about them and their background, so I do not have a lot of examples that relate back to the class work we do. In class I feel as if a lot of the material we focus on relates back to the parents, home life, and how they have been raised thus far. I only see them once a week, so I cannot make judgments regarding their course of development and influences that have left impacts on their life. The two examples that I have noticed that we have covered in class include Vygotsky's Sociocultural Theory and The Ecological Systems Theory. I have noticed elements of the Sociocultural Theory in the children’s dialogue. Considering their age the children have a very advanced dialogue with rather colorful language. Personally, I was not even familiar with some of these words that Kindergarteners and 1st graders are expressing. I think this has to do with the culture they were raised and possibly the community. I think that the Kindergarteners at the school pick up on language that is used by the older kids and then they start to say it. Although teachers and administrators try their best to stop the kids from using bad language and reprimanding them when they do I feel as if the colorful language they have come to know is forever imbedded in their brain. I think the Ecological Systems Theory plays a big role in understanding these children and the school I am working at. For me it was rather different to go into a school like this in a bad neighborhood and see children behaving in ways that I had never seen before. However, for the teachers that work there are so used to it they don’t even…

    As a partner teacher, some of my duties include supporting instruction, facilitating small groups and creating a loving and supportive environment for all students. What I enjoy most about my partner teacher duties is having the opportunity to assist individual students. One of the greatest feelings in the world is watching a student grow academically and socially due to the additional support that I had the privilege to provide. Often times, I assist students by providing explicit instruction or help them complete a task at a slower pace. Socially, I am available to help students if they are having a difficult time with their peers, or if they need help calming down and expressing their feelings. Teaching is such a remarkable profession,…
