New Position

I still have not received confirmation from the school that I can start observing there, but I did start a new job working with children that have severe emotional disorders and I figured I could blog about that. It is extremely difficult working with these children because they have all been hospitalized for long periods of time but it also gives a little insight to situations that I will deal with when I become a teacher. Many of the kids have ADHD which is growing in it's numbers and is difficult to manage and control. It is challenging to reprimand the kids and make sure that they are not harming themselves or any of the other kids but while maintaining a friendly relationship between us. I feel that this job will help prepare me more for Student Teaching and for my future as an educator and I am ready and excited for the challenges ahead!
