This year will be quite different, I am hopefully semi-retired. I could not think of a word that could adequately state my change, but this seems to be the best. :’ I will not be in the classroom, but will be what is labeled an “interventionist”. I would love to open a business where I could sell and create names for education. What does interventionist mean…for older teachers…”Reading Teacher” would fit very well.
I am going to be working with the weakest children at the kindergarten and first grade level trying to help them progress higher than they are now. There are three levels the children are graded on, but for those not in the field of education today… low, average and above average will suffice. I will not see the one in the above average level.
We have been workshopped to death this summer, so I should know exactly what I am suppose to do. But no one has sat down and said this is what you do. I have three more workshops to go that will tell me what to do with all the other information I have received. I hope :’
Last week, all of the K thru 3 teachers plus special ed, 3 interventionist, and reading coach went to New Orleans. 😀
