@MSMashburn @ProfessorStacie This aspect surprised me as well. After observing I realized you did not have time in the work day to complete these tasks. @ProfessorStacie

@HaleyMayse @ProfessorStacie They are very honest! I had a couple Kindergartners lay down some hard truths about my rain boots one day! @ProfessorStacie

[Morgan Pedigo @pedigo_morgan]

@ProfessorStacie During my observation I was surprised at how relatable the teachers were. I was also surprised at how much of their personal time was spent on work. #IntroTeach101 @ProfessorStacie

@serina_c_lewis @Kylie98375382 @ProfessorStacie I think this course showed me importance of qualities like patience and kindness in teacher. @ProfessorStacie

@addy_grace1 @ProfessorStacie IEPs are very detailed documents. I was not aware of the amount of work that went into them either. @ProfessorStacie

[Morgan Pedigo @pedigo_morgan]

@ProfessorStacie I did not know how inclusive classrooms had become. I also learned a lot about different exceptionalities and how to identify them. #ExcepChild111 @ProfessorStacie

[Morgan Pedigo @pedigo_morgan]

@MikaelaPrestri1 @ProfessorStacie I learned a lot about interventions from this module as well! Some cues to underlying problems can easily go unnoticed. @ProfessorStacie

[Morgan Pedigo @pedigo_morgan]

@jones44_v @ProfessorStacie Early intervention also minimizes the students who “fall behind”. Resolving issues early on helps to eliminate problems that can arise later. @ProfessorStacie

[Morgan Pedigo @pedigo_morgan]

@ProfessorStacie Early intervention is important so that the student can get on an academic path for their individual success. I did not take into account the difficulties physical disabilities can have on education. #ExceptChild111 @ProfessorStacie

@CoreyHudd @ProfessorStacie I agree, it’s great to see the district working together. The pandemic impacted education everywhere, and I believe it will take everyone to get it back on track. @ProfessorStacie

[Morgan Pedigo @pedigo_morgan]

@caitlin63711598 @ProfessorStacie I would argue the tests reliability. I just don’t believe all students test the same, and that doesn’t always mean they haven’t retained the lessons and objectives. @ProfessorStacie

[Morgan Pedigo @pedigo_morgan]

@ProfessorStacie I think that the TCAP has proven its worth. With the disruption the education system endured in 2020, it’s important we have a tool to gauge where our students stand. However, I don’t believe this is a full proof method of evaluation. #IntroTeach101 @ProfessorStacie

[Morgan Pedigo @pedigo_morgan]

@KierraHunterr @ProfessorStacie I agree, when you know someone it becomes easier to communicate effectively with them. These relationships are essential. @ProfessorStacie #IntroTeach101

[Morgan Pedigo @pedigo_morgan]

@ProfessorStacie Your students are going to be much more receptive to you if they trust you and feel comfortable with you. It will create an easier learning experience for everyone. @ProfessorStacie #IntroTeach101

[Morgan Pedigo @pedigo_morgan]

@April40237874 @ProfessorStacie So true! I initially thought about the benefits for those with Exceptionalities but the community benefits as well! @ProfessorStacie #ExcepChild111

[Morgan Pedigo @pedigo_morgan]

@ProfessorStacie These programs are important because they give these students and adults purpose and motivation to excel outside of the classroom. They provide a sense of belonging and fulfillment. #ExcepChild111 @ProfessorStacie

[Morgan Pedigo @pedigo_morgan]

@addy_grace1 @ProfessorStacie I agree being adaptable is important for an educator, but we cannot expect this same level of adaptability from our students. Our classroom should be accommodating for all. #Excepchild111 @ProfessorStacie

[Morgan Pedigo @pedigo_morgan]

@ProfessorStacie It’s important to incorporate a variety of learning techniques and behavioral tools in the classroom, as all students learn differently. It’s also important we don’t underestimate the potential of our students in our classroom design. #ExcepChild111 @ProfessorStacie

[Morgan Pedigo @pedigo_morgan]

@howellabbyk @ProfessorStacie This is a very realistic concern, but I believe once we step into our classrooms and look at our students we will feel prepared to lead them. We still have quite a bit of training ahead of us. #IntroTeach101 @ProfessorStacie

[Morgan Pedigo @pedigo_morgan]

@ProfessorStacie I worry about my ability to build relationships among other teachers. I tend to be so focused on my family and my work that I don’t devote the attention needed to nurture other relationships. I hope that I can learn that balance. #IntroTeach101 @ProfessorStacie
