Case Study Presentation
In SPED 516, Behavioral Management, I had a Graduate Case Study project that pulled all we learned together. I was assigned a case study to research, create a plan, and present to the class. Below is the presentation, and a copy with my presentation notes, of my case study of Nikos - my little first grade who just cannot sit still!
I do not have my professor's feedback or grade yet, but I was excited for the high amount of class participation and discussion in my presentation.

My Token Economy
For SPED 516, Behavioral Management in the Classroom, I had to create a token economy. This token economy would be used to reinforce students and the desired behaviors. We had a lot of freedom with the creation of this assignment; I created the classroom setting, circumstances and the token economy's worksheet.
My professor's feedback on this assignment was positive, especially on the choices given to the students. She felt this was a realistic tool and accommodated for human nature.

Summer One is Officially Done
Tonight, I will celebrate. I have taken my last final. SPED 516 (Behavioral Strategies) and SPED 562 (Assessing SPED Students) are officially in the books. Waiting on grades...
I am employed!!
We are very excited!
This fall, I will be working at Calera Elementary. I will fill a temporary aide position and then transition into teaching, covering some maternity leaves. This will likely last through the entire fall semester, which is just perfect. I will be student teaching in the Spring semester so this is mutually perfect for CES and the Chenaults!
Subbing this past spring, I fell in love with the staff at CES. This school had the most warm, friendly and enthusiastic staff I encountered in all the schools I observed and/or worked. I'm very thrilled to join a team like CES. And, it could not be any more convenient for us. Graham and I will go to school together. He will have his space, and I will have mine; but, this saves us daycare money, which is such a blessing.
I'm very excited about the experience! I'll be able to use my "work" time for my "observation" requirements in my classes this fall, and what a great thing to add to my resume! And, did I mention, there's a paycheck? Oh! we love a paycheck!
Yeah!!!

Wish List
An organization method to keep tools and ideas.
What's the best way to keep up with all the great stuff people share with you? I have several charts, templates, bulletin board ideas, worksheet ideas, web resources... and scattered across a bin, a binder and a social bookmarking site. I'd love smart and practical ideas!
