Hey guys! I am heading off to grad school full time this fall and was wondering out of curiosity what kind of jobs people had when they were doing school full time?
Some jobs I am considering is being a hostess, waitress, bartender, receptionist, front desk (ideally at a gym), newborn hearing screener, or babysitter
Been working as an SLPA in the schools for over a year and just wanted everyone's thoughts on this. A skill I am still working on is figuring how I can be more productive in my inclusion sessions (going into the classroom for speech therapy) and it is a skill I am growing in with the help of my supervising SLPs.
It was suggested when my students that I am legally in there for per their IEP for those 30 minutes do not need help with something, I should be helping out other kids in the class, even if they are not on caseload.
it makes me feel like a romanticized general education paraprofessional. most of the time, there is classroom para in there so I do not understand why I need to focus on anyone more than the students I am servicing.
Is that technically taking away IEP service minutes, even if the student in that moment does not need help?
Maybe I am being too nit picky about this and making this a big deal. I just feel like I should not have to do another person's job when I am tasked for something specific for certain students. What are your guys' opinions?
(btw not going to say anything because I will be leaving this school next month to attend graduate school in the fall)
