Well I survived the first weekend class. I was very nervous on Saturday but I was glad that Mrs. Anderson made it quite clear that I was a rookie in this field ahaha. If she didn't then I would have been just sitting there writing down stuff that I had no idea the meaning to. She also made it quite clear that no one should drop this class and I honestly was considering after the first class day. I think that with her help and the help of my classmates that I will be able to understand the art of being a diagnostician. At this point, reading specialist is my thing but I have already seen similarities between the two and that is what I need to focus on. Our first testing procedure seems to be a bit mind boggling but I know it serves great purpose and I need to make sure I do it correctly...and I don't want to fail the class either. :) Thank you Mrs. Anderson and the Alpine ladies for helping me out the first weekend and I guarantee this will not be the last you hear from me :-)

Nitra,
ReplyDeleteI felt overwhelmed when I first started too!!! Stick with it and it'll all make sense soon! Take it a day at a time and you'll do fine!
YAY Nitra! Great attitude. You will feel the greatest sense of accomplishment when this is all behind you. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteDon't worry Nitra, everything will work out and we are here to help each other. I firmly believe that even though you are interested in being a Reading Specialist, this class (along with the I.Q.class) will help you tremendously in understanding the formal identification of reading difficulties and how powerful the importance of intervention is prior to any referral. You are on the right track!
