I know that I do not want to loose this community of educators. We have to continue working together sharing ideas and resources. We have learned so much this... http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/05/final_reflectio.html http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/05/final_reflectio.html Nancy Sun, 04 May 2008 18:44:57 -0500 I don't remember being provided any training back in grad school about the use of paraprofessionals. I guess my training was being a para myself and working with an excellent special educator who respected me and treated me as a... http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/04/week_13_reflect.html http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/04/week_13_reflect.html Nancy Sun, 27 Apr 2008 19:41:58 -0500 I was on vacation this week! It was absolutely amazing to see my 1 year old daughter discover outside and and watch her chase her 4 year old brother. I also found it amazing how much my son has grown... http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/04/week_13_1.html http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/04/week_13_1.html Rebecca Sun, 27 Apr 2008 12:52:13 -0500 I think I missed a week. Sorry about that. But, I am happy to say I've submitted my paper and this is my the last thing I need to do for this course. I made it through my first semester... http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/04/paraeducators.html http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/04/paraeducators.html Erin Wed, 23 Apr 2008 20:10:44 -0500 The reading about paraeducators was so thought provoking. It is nice to have "experts" write about stuff I believe and thought. Why do our peers believe stuff if someone else (who has to live at least 50 miles away and... http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/04/the_reading_abo.html http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/04/the_reading_abo.html Sara Tue, 22 Apr 2008 21:48:06 -0500 Sorry this is late, the flu or whatever the sickness going around is, has struck my house with a fury!!!

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 21:58:58 -0500 While reading the articles, I kept thinking, are we really preparing our students for the future? Having a para for each student at our school is not preparing them to be independent and to get along in a social world.... http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/04/week_12_reflect.html http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/04/week_12_reflect.html Nancy Sun, 13 Apr 2008 18:12:39 -0500 This has been an interested week for me. I have always been perplexed by the concept of paraeducators (mainly the number of them). I would always think to myself, including when I was a para, "why are the non-teachers providing... http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/04/week_12.html http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/04/week_12.html Cortney K. Sat, 12 Apr 2008 21:03:44 -0500 I believe the reason for the terrible twos is the child’s inability to communicate in a way that can be understood. For some students with special needs this difficulty with communication and the frustration of not being understood continues for... http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/04/week_11_reflect.html http://tfox.blog.uvm.edu/ntk/archives/2008/04/week_11_reflect.html Nancy Sun, 06 Apr 2008 17:30:37 -0500 I am excited about creating the AT document.

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 11:31:33 -0500 I was able to sit down and spend a couple hours looking through all of the websites, manuals, the textbooks, and wonderful videos! I am feeling overwhlemed with the possibilities.

Sat, 05 Apr 2008 23:45:51 -0500 I’m really excited about assistive technology. We do not really have anyone in our school with expertise around AT or AAC.
