David Douglas School District

• Instructional Assistant (SPED)

  • Aug 2017 - Jun 2018

  Being a Special Education (SPED) assistant, I believe that my most important role has been to provide students with educational support and skill development opportunities to enable students to pursue a better education and a better relationship with the community. Student interaction is a duty I do not take lightly. On a daily basis, I always check-in with my students to make sure that their academic needs are being met. Emotional support has been pivotal in my teaching philosophy because I have realized that students needs encouragement, motivation, and confidence in themselves for student development and personal growth. That is why I advocate building strong relationships with students before setting academic standards.
