I spent over 8 weeks during the fall semester, along with a practicum the previous May at the MARESA Transition Program. This is a school for students, ages 18-26, who have a disability. The Transition Program focuses on gaining life skills and getting students prepared to be members of their community. Students are given job experience, and many of them are able to get long-term paid employment. During my time there I was able to build lessons which taught students valuable life lessons. Some examples include managing money, hygiene, and communication skills. On top of providing instruction in the classroom, I was able to use community resources to help drive learning. Every week I was in the community with students, making purchases at stores, volunteering, or spending time outdoors. In this setting I was able to learn a lot about working with students with disabilities and teaching life skills. Towards the end of my student teaching I was able to step into a long term sub position at the school. This meant fully taking over my own classroom with more independence, and less immediate support. I felt that the opportunity was came at the perfect time, as I was able to truly flourish as a teacher.
