I chose to work for JMG because after years 6 years of teaching HS Math/Alternative Ed. I wanted a chance to work with students in ways that are more meaningful to me and I feel can have more of an impact. 2. Meeting my students and setting up a classroom space for them! 3. Nervous about the transition from one Specialist to another.

I chose to work at JMG because I'm interested in working in both education and community building/service. 

2) I am excited to meet students, connect with my school team, and learn some things myself!

3) I am nervous to enter a classroom that has had 2 specialists in the past 2 years. I know I will have to work hard to earn their trust. ]]> 2021-08-18 15:34:26 UTC https://padlet.com/waltersj3/sgnbnucktehsj8bq/wish/1684320870 bwatson87 https://padlet.com/waltersj3/sgnbnucktehsj8bq/wish/1684321040 I was referred to JMG by a friend.

Being a mentor for the students and the community. 3. Follow up's and the program that we use. https://padlet.com/waltersj3/sgnbnucktehsj8bq/wish/1684321744 2021-08-18 15:34:56 UTC https://padlet.com/waltersj3/sgnbnucktehsj8bq/wish/1684321744 Why am I excited for the school year? https://padlet.com/waltersj3/sgnbnucktehsj8bq/wish/1684323306 I'm looking forward to setting the tone in my classroom, and allowing my students to "imprint" with me.]]> 2021-08-18 15:35:47 UTC https://padlet.com/waltersj3/sgnbnucktehsj8bq/wish/1684323306 Journal Entry mkaufman29 https://padlet.com/waltersj3/sgnbnucktehsj8bq/wish/1684324552 1. I co-taught a life skills class for seniors and saw firsthand how vital it was for students to gain this information. 
2. I am excited to expand upon the lessons I got to teach last quarter over the course of the year and make deeper connections with students.
3. I'm nervous about classroom management since most to all of my experience has been with another teacher up until now, just with students not being respectful to one another]]> 2021-08-18 15:36:26 UTC https://padlet.com/waltersj3/sgnbnucktehsj8bq/wish/1684324552 1) worked with JMG students as a guest speaker last year and loved it/knew I wanted to work for JMG 2) to be able to help/mentor students/make a difference 3) nervous for the first day mcurit https://padlet.com/waltersj3/sgnbnucktehsj8bq/wish/1684324582 2021-08-18 15:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/waltersj3/sgnbnucktehsj8bq/wish/1684324582 What am I nervous about? https://padlet.com/waltersj3/sgnbnucktehsj8bq/wish/1684324699 Juggling everything, hoping we don't have to go hybrid or remote again.]]> 2021-08-18 15:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/waltersj3/sgnbnucktehsj8bq/wish/1684324699 https://padlet.com/waltersj3/sgnbnucktehsj8bq/wish/1684325053 1.

A JMG specialist reached out and let me know about the opening! After researching it seemed to be an ideal fit for me as I did not have a teaching degree.
2. I am excited to meet my students and begin to understand their individual needs.
3. I am nervous about taking on too much and spreading myself too thin!]]> 2021-08-18 15:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/waltersj3/sgnbnucktehsj8bq/wish/1684325780 https://padlet.com/waltersj3/sgnbnucktehsj8bq/wish/1684328014 I long termed subbed for JMG for the past few years and I loved it.
