Which means the young student I was tutoring is now in 3rd grade. Her end of summer scores were assessed using a standardized test. Her decoding skills improved greatly from the beginning of the summer but she is still consistently much slower than her peers. I feel she is need of accommodations and or modifications to reading assignments and any timed math tests. The parents have requested a meeting in hopes that the school will actually help her this year and properly assess for her learning disabilities.
The end of summer also means I am back at school. Depending on how technologically savvy you are this may or may not be helpful. I am currently taking a technology in education course which has me entering all my assignments onto a website. I will share this with you here if you'd like to shortcut searching for neat things to use as tools in your class. Some of my favorites are Thinglink for use with students, Screencastify for possible use with parents, and some of the extra tools on Class Dojo. Every example was created by me and from sites that are free. The examples are nothing to rave about, but briefly showcase each tool. sites.google.com/view/ed380fall18rmp/home I will also continue my passion for properly training and encouraging paraprofessionals by assisting a wonderful professor as a research assistant.
