SUPERVISOR/SECRETARY

MUHLENBERG SCHOOL DISTRICT

READING,PA

I started off working in a second-grade classroom referred to as the Basic Second classroom. This classroom used a Horizon curriculum for children who need more support than a regular class. I worked with direct instruction in the subjects of Math, SRA Math, Reading and Writing. I gave reading assessments such as running records and Dibels. I would go over work with children when struggling. I used strategies that I made through handbooks and school materials to bring in the classroom to bring students to the level where they needed to be. I continued to do the Summer Program which was called ESY(Special Education). For a short time, I also was the Secretary at the school and took on additional office duties. WORKSHOPS TAKEN
