Jones. She has a BA degree in education but is currently pursuing her Masters in education. I also had a chance to meet a veteran teacher named Ms. B., which holds a Masters in degree in education. All of the children loved Ms. B. but they also respected her. Ms. B knew all of the state rules, regulations, and guidelines. She was like a walking manual. The two worked closely together. Their classrooms were right next door to each other. However, I had the opportunity to work in the classroom with Ms. Jones and her assistant. Ms. Jones had 15 students and two assistant teachers. She 's very kind hearted and the only thing that she ever thought about was how could she enhance the life of her students. She believed that every child had the ability to learn even those that had mild disibilites. I was amazed by the way that she managed her classroom.

Ms. Jones has a student in her class named John and he has autism. At times John is out of control and he disturbs the classroom setting. No one in Ms. Jones class is certified or have experience in dealing with children with disibilities. I feel that it 's a disadvantage for John as well as for the classroom as a whole. I would recommend that the center has someone on staff that has experience or is specialized in dealing with students with disibilities. Ms. Jones is a great teacher but none of her techniques seem to reach John. This student normally disturbs the class once he arrives at mid day.
Secondly, the facility needs more staffing or the staffing coodinator should reevaluate the way that she schedule staff. I noticed that Ms. Jones assistants had to take over her class at times because she had to take over another class. This left her class discombobulated and also it stressed her students out. Her assistants had to calm the children down and explain to them where she were, why she was there, and that she were coming
