Blog 4: Research Paper.

I've observed the other three children who have the same behavioral and emotional disorders.   I've learned to figure out more about what causes those behaviors and finding other solutions to improve in that area.  At first, the two teachers tried to change their learning styles to help them understand their assignment more clearly. They did the same activity that I've discussed last time.  Both the teachers are also trying to spend time like doing activities about money for example.  This would show them individually how money works and how its used in our everyday lives.  Later, we took tests to see how they know about what they just learned.   

The two insight that I've learned is that they learned the difference between doing their own things and getting help from others or ask for help if it's needed.  This would help them build their own ideas and objectives used to analyze and predict what are the best choices for them to be an successful classmates.  They would also learn the manners and rules of the classroom. It's the only way to develop respect with other children.  Another insight is that I've worked on testing them to figure out each child's strengths and weakness in their development.  At first, it would be an easy task, but it became difficult when I asked them a question and they had no idea what to say.  They were working on their basic skills in reading and writing.  

It's important to enhance their learning styles by finding strategies that would work for the child's needs.  The purpose of doing this writing and reading area helps them develop the importance of being an successful student.  It's a way to create a wide range of activities and skills to improve their education needs.  I really hope to change and improve their future development.         

Blog 3: Interacting with Professionals/Administrators and your Advocacy Plan

I've interacted with about three children out of seven children. Throughout the day, they had so many activities to do that day. They were busy doing reading, math, writing and few more that they had throughout the day.  Each child are catching up with old work.  So, they are doing some free time to finish their work.  The first child I helped him with math.  At first, he didn't need help until he complaints that the homework was too hard for him.  I've told him so many times that I have confident that you are going to going to do well.  I've noticed right away that he wants attention and his teachers told me that he could do it on his own.  I've waited a few minutes to see if he could do it.  If he didn't, I helped him with a few questions and i believe that he understand the assignment.  

The second child, started doing his work on reading and writing. Half the time he spaced out and talked to other peers while he's still working.  At first, I didn't like the idea because he interrupted the kids about what he is doing in lunch today and other random things that he says.    I've told him to stop talking and do your work. He stopped for a few minutes until he started to compliant about his homework is too hard.  The teachers told me that he could do it on his own.  After we told him that, he started throwing things and his teachers told him to stop.  He didn't listen and one of his teacher took him to time out. Then finally last child, he started doing his work and the other children started talking to him.  We told them to stop talking and do your work.  He started working until he was playing with his pencil and other instruments to distract the kids.  He was making a lot of sounds.  We told him stop and he didn't listen and the other teacher told him to go to other room to continue working on his social studies. 

My new insight is that they are testing them on how much they know about certain activities like in math for example. This would let them know if they understand this activity more clearly. Throughout this field, this idea would helped me understand the importance of being advocacy teacher and helping the parents to be successful in their child's needs and wants.  My biggest challenge is figure out what strategies to give for the parents to understand the reason why disabilities affect children's learning.  I really hope I would improved their education skills and other successes in his/her life.
