Stuck in the middle
Throughout the course of this semester I have worked in a pre-k/ kindergarten classroom. This was a general ed. classroom however there was one autistic student who received extra services. Although there was only one student who received services in the classroom, it was clear that there were many more students that were either behind or needed some kind of focus. Therefore I decided to have a conversation with my cooperating teacher about that the matter. After observation I could clearly observe one other student who was autistic and others that appeared to need some kind of services. After talking with my cooperating teacher, I found out that sometimes students had to be 2 years behind before they received any type of extra service within the classroom. I found this to be crazy because by the time they received services they would be significantly behind and have a hard time catching up. After finding this out, I became very interested in alternative methods that could be provided to those students. For my final project in CEP 452 I made a google site that provides a variety of websites in each core subjct with several forms of practice problems that could be useful for these students. The sites are all very interactive and easy to use and I feel that they can be used as extra help for these students since they do not receive any at school.
