Feedly


Time Management

My current placement compared to my last semester placemen, it totally night and day. Last semester, my placement was at a location where it is know to be the “richer” part. I was placed in a High School Resource room form Freshmen English. Many of those students had a Learning Disability. There, at that school,   all students had chrome books,  all classes had smart boards,  it was all up to date. My now placement,  is not that fortune. Something that takes time out of my CT time is that she does not always have a laptop available to do her IEP’s and other important information.

When it comes to IEP’s, that’s a lot of time in that as well. She has to take time to do the assessments to all the students (since most of their IEP’s are due around the same time). She then has to corrects them and see where the child is at. Being children with special needs, their education plan has to be based on their needs. So my CT also has to take time to see what would benefit each students.


Something else she would like to do, is to be able to know how her class will go that day. Everyday is a new adventure, and a new struggle. She has to adjust sometimes and be able to just change anything.

About Me

Hello! 
I'm Gladis Salinas. Studying Special Education and my endorsements in Cognitive Impairments and Emotional Impairments at Grand Valley State University. Fall '15 semester, I was at Grand Haven High school teaching assisting, which I loved. This Winer '16 semester, I have started Student Teacher a 1st grade CI classroom at East Leonard Elementary (from GRPS)
My ideal classroom would be working with middle schoolers or up, especially high schoolers.

My idea/plan on using technology is so I can place homework/assignments on my website. If students were missing or just need additional more resource, they can go to my website and check it out.

Besides my family and friends, Mindy Kaling is important to me. I like how she's not afraid to be herself, to be funny and awesome. She's one that taught me to be confident, and if not, just to pretend that I am confident in what I'm doing.
I also think, that it is important to travel. I don't want to live a "boring" life. Being adventures is something that we all need.










Well, That's ME! :)
