For those of you who don't know, I have begun a new job that started this past Monday. I am working for Sulam in Rockville, MD about 20 min from Uncle Yossie's house. I will be commuting approximately an hour each way. So far its not so bad.
Sulam is a Special Ed school which is integrated in a regular ed school(Hebrew Academy of Greater Washington). My responsibilites will be to escort/assist these special ed students who have learning and behavioral issues, and bring them into the regular ed. classrooms. I will need to make sure the student is not disrupting the class. Or if the lesson is being taught in a complicated manner, I will try to help the student better understand the lesson or modify a test or wksht to better fit his specific needs. Most of the students I'll be working with are 6th-8th grade boys in Math and Science (HELPPP).
So far, I've met the staff, and they are all so wonderful. I'll be meeting the students on Friday. I'm really looking forward to the rest of the year.
Lot's of luck. Isn't that the kind of job you wanted?
