How does it relate to my experience as an educator?

# data[].attributes.body
I work with students that have an Individualized Education Plan (IEP), especially during my time as an interventionist. I work in a 5th grade classroom, where I work with a student for reading and math instruction. We go over reading a list of words, so we can track her progress and see where she is still struggling. We also go over math problems to see where her strengths and weaknesses are within a lesson. I review her progress with her classroom teacher.
