Teach Effectively!

Erinello, a blogger from the Chicago (IL, US) area, reported that she’s happy to be working as a teacher’s aide in special education.

Well, I’m not a teacher, but I am an aide, and that’s better than nothing. I’m just happy to be back in the classroom. I’m a special ed. aide for 7th graders with learning disabilities. I really like working with these kids, and I’m thinking this is what I need to get my master’s in. I also love working with the kids with behavior disorders. We have a few kids who are supposedly BD, but it’s nothing extreme with them. Nothing at all like what I dealt with on the west side.

She’s apparently taking classes—at Northern Illinois University—pursuing licensure. Let’s hope she hooks up with good instructors there and learns lots about evidence-based practice.
