Going into my seventh year working within the school as either a district substitute or a paraprofessional in a cross-categorical special education classroom I have been exposed to IEPs, lesson plans, documentation and the needs that students and families come across daily. My Social Work degree benefits me within my position to service the students that I have within my classroom. I am still learning the educational roles and terminology but I enjoy it greatly. Also, I am learning all of the time new services and ways to link our students and their families to help within our community. My main goal is to see any child that I work with succeed to their fullest potential, whatever that may be!
