Instructional Assistant
I was a IA for an education studies class called EDS 130. In this role I supported college students volunteering in elementrary classrooms.I also lead sections where I facilitate discussions about classroom and educational ethics, educational tactics, and socioeconmoic issues in schools, through the course's readings.
Classroom Aid
As part of my Education Studies Minor, I did 120 hours of classroom observation and aid. This experience allowed me to gain in in-depth understanding of the classroom environment and how children learn. It's this experience that lead me to desire to aid children with intellectual disabilities in the classroom and with their learning.
