The Switch Experience Report

Decent Essays
Mrs. Bullard is a great principal and has a very big heart for her students. When I visited with her before the experience she spent an hour of her day with me talking about the different issues of the school. When I arrived on the first day of the Switch experience Mrs. Bullard met me and introduced me to the assistant principal Mr. Locklear. I was given open access to the whole school and told that I could do whatever I felt was necessary. I was allowed to play with the kids, do walkthroughs of every classroom, lunch duty, help BT teachers, and sit in on daily pull outs for all subjects areas. This was a very positive experience and I felt that Mrs. Bullard and her staff accommodated me very well.

    This was okay with me though, I am actually always up to meeting new people, so I didn’t have any issues going around meeting new people at all. I’m not really the shy type that won’t socialize and even though I had previously been homeschooled, for several years, before coming back here, I feel that I actually had better socialization skills than most of the people here which just goes to show that the stereotype of having to go to public school to learn socialization and also that people from public school are better socializers is completely false. Aside from meeting new people and the new building, it was a major adjustment having to get on a “regular” schedule of waking up at such an early hour every morning, having to go to school from 7:40am to 2:40am, and all the different classes that I was forced to take. Previously at online school, it wasn’t mandatory that you did every class every day, so I would actually chunk it up and do different classes each day, so it wouldn’t get too dreadful like it is here. All this school stuff though is relatable to when Jeannette was going to the different schools and locations and had to adjust to her surroundings, get to know people, and try to fit in the best that she could.…

    In freshman year I moved out of the school district with my mother, my brother, and my mother's boyfriend while my father moved into my old house. I was now left with two options: I could either continue to enroll in school at Massabesic High School or I could transfer to Kennebunk High School. See, my mother was just going to drive me to my existing bus stop every morning if I stayed at Massabesic but changing schools was starting to peak my interest. I started doing some research on both schools, making a compare and contrast chart while my knowledge grew. I looked at academics, statistics, student-to-teacher ratio and the whole nine-yards.…

    Being apart of the Link Crew A Team and making sure that the first day of school for new students ran smoothly, was an experience that made me aware of all the hardwork put in to make sure that the new students feel as welcomed and comfortable as possible, whether they are transitioning from middle school to highschool, or from a high school in a different district. I, along with others on the team set up and took down posters, tables, and chairs for the welcoming assembly and also made paper bags filled supplies needed for the games and activities. The highlight of the whole experience was writing kind and…

    During my time at Norview, I have discovered a bunch of unique and interesting skills that I can benefit in my future career. The skill that I first learned was on the very first day going to Norview, the class and I were taught how to feed the residents properly due to their individual medical status. Later on that day we practiced how to properly feed someone, it was a little weird, but funny because we were feeding each other. The very last part we did before we left to go back to school was my class…

    Reflection for Week Eleven During week eleven I had the opportunity to sit in on parent teacher conferences on Tuesday and Thursday. Although the days were very long since we were at school until 6:30pm each night, I gain knew insight from the teacher’s perspective. I learned that it is best to sit beside the parents instead of sitting in the “teacher’s chair” so that parents do not feel intimidated as you share information about their students. You want to make the parents feel comfortable as they listening to the teacher give an overview of their students’ progress, strengths, weaknesses, and goals. You also want the parents to feel comfortable sharing information that could help their student in the classroom during the meeting regardless…

    Childcare Director Interview (My answers for these were taken from both past conversations I have had with the director as well as my cooperating teacher since the director was gone recently due to a family issue out of state. I saw here very briefly on my last day for the first time in a while and because she was in the middle of something I only got to thank her for letting me be there this semester before I left. So, I am focusing mostly on the program’s newly expanding private school named Legacy Christian Academy which the kindergarten class I was with falls under because that’s where I was able to get most of my information.)…

    The office was small to say the least, with outdated furniture and piles and piles of file boxes all over the place. I knew right away these women were tough, but they were friendly as soon as I walked in. Ruth was obviously in charge and she cleared her busy schedule to give me about ten to fifteen minutes of her time. I was grateful for…

    Moving schools away from all of my friends should’ve been an appalling experience, surprisingly, it was a blessing in disguise. I went to Agnes Baptist Elementary from kindergarten to 5th grade and I had friends that I've known since I was 3. I loved it there and knew the school like the back of my hand. Everything was superior, like most good things, though there were times where they weren’t, I was harassed by a bully almost everyday, my grades were getting inadequate, and my mom didn’t want me to be a sad, disconsolate 7th grader at a new junior high. In the result, I moved and I went to Savage Middle School, a school that had 6th, 7th, and 8th graders.…
