I love my job teaching a secondary Life Skills Class in the DuBois
Area
School District. I have so much fun everyday reading, doing math
problems,
playing games, cooking and interacting with my students. My job
doesn't
seem like work! The social interactions that take place in and
out of the
classroom will help my students achieve a greater understanding of
them by
their peers and help them to be more independent themselves.
I like the
fact that our neighboring classmates are very understanding and
compassionate toward us and enjoy coming into our room, reading with
us and
helping us do our work. We think that helps our peers understand
our
limits and shortcomings and provides our nondisabled peers the opportunity
to be more accepting and tolerant of their disabled counterparts.
I am also very fortunate to have a wonderful
supporting staff that
makes our class complete. We all work so cooperatively that it
is not
apparent where one person leaves off and another takes over.
We strive for
"GREAT TRANSITIONS."
If I were asked what job I would like to have
if there was only one job
for life...I would say, "I want to teach a Life Skills Class.
That's where
I learned more from my students than I could have ever imagined!"
