HCSD Preschool
One of the things I wanted to learn about while mentoring is how different specialists, such as psychologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech/language therapists, have an impact on a child’s learning and development. I have chosen the two that seem the most interesting to me, occupational therapy and speech/language therapy, and talked to my mentors about scheduling a day to shadow them instead of being in the regular classroom. I have learned that this experience is totally dependent on me, and that it is up to me to ask questions to get the most out of this opportunity. This is sometimes challenging for me, as I am typically a more reserved person, and I don’t speak up when I should. Outside of my mentor site, we have been talking about Twitter over the past couple of weeks in our mentorship class. The HCSD Preschool twitter page (@HCSDPreschool) is geared towards parents, since it is unlikely that students at the ages of three and four have their own account. They mostly tweet reminders for PTO events, book fairs, spirit nights, and other in-school activities. The HCSD Preschool Twitter account is followed mostly by their staff and parents of the school. The account follows their teachers as well as local education-related organizations, such as the Hilliard Education Association and the Hilliard Education Foundation. It also follows other schools in the district, including Alton Darby Elementary School, and other local organizations, like the Hilliard Food Pantry. For me, it is important to follow my mentor and my mentor site on Twitter so that I can learn what else may be involved with a career in this field that I may not see from only being in two classrooms. It is also important to learn what kinds of news is important to my mentor site, as that will also help to give me an accurate perception of this career field.
