What is the most important thing you have learned during fieldwork observation? Why?
I have learned that it is important to really look at each student as an individual. Some students may be great in the main stream class setting. While others really need the more personalized attention that one on one gives them. These students that need one on one are not necessarily academically challenged but just learn differently. I have learned that one student may need pull out classes and options in all subjects and areas. While other students may only need help in one subject, and other in none.
Working with students in a pull out setting has made me understand the importance of early intervention. Many of these students are behind academically and feel inferior when around their mainstream peers because they do not meet the standard. This is in no way their fault, they needed the intervention or a different way of learning. If the students had received this at a young age they could still be on the same level as their peers and interventions would be in place so these students stay at or above grade level. Look at each student individually and understand the importance of early intervention.
