Literacy Coach Reflection

Improved Essays
This experience has allowed me the opportunity to immerse myself into the role of a literacy coach. During this semester, I was able to experience many of the coaching roles. One goal that I will continue to work on is time management. Dealing with daily scheduling conflicts and the flexibility of the change of the school day schedule will be an inevitable struggle.

    In addition, one professor, after commending my passion and proclivity for hard work, asked me to partake in the Preceptor Program of the Department of Communication Sciences and Disorders for her Syntax class, affording me the unique opportunity to help other Temple students learn and mold their interests. While involving a great deal of hard work, I can honestly say being a part of the Preceptor Program was one of the most rewarding experiences I had the honor of participating in while at Temple. It helped me hone my time management and leadership skills, as well as gave me experience planning and organizing a myriad of class lessons and activities. Being that my current professional interests involves working with young children in school settings, I believe that this experience has helped me to form a solid foundation in the areas of communicating and aiding others in a manner that is both professional as well as…

    Initial Reflection In my draft I was most successful in explaining each of my literacy events and connecting them to my theme. I focused on really explaining each event to make sure I was including all of the details but also so that the reader was able to understand how my literacy was formed. In the first paragraph where I discussed how I learned to read, I was going in depth with the details on how it shaped me and how it was really significant to my reading. I think I also did really well with connecting it to the Fishman quote that I used.…
