Though I do not have my own classroom at the moment, being a building substitute allows me to work with a wide variety of students - Special Education classrooms (MDS, Autistic Support, Independent living, Post 12) and classrooms who have multiple learning levels (low-level learners to AP).]]> 2017-07-10 22:35:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178425970 jess_mccolgan https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426002 I am also the dance coach for the North Penn HS Dance Team. Being a coach has taught me a lot about time management, organization, and working with individuals throughout the high school. I was a dancer since 4th grade and finished my dance career at 21. I enjoy this side of dance because i get to teach these girls some new skills and ideas and they get to show me what they know. They are a wonderful group of ladies!]]> 2017-07-10 22:35:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426002 jess_mccolgan https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426061 In my family, I am the youngest of two girls - my sister turned 30 in April and is expecting her 3rd child. My parents both work at the same company (that's how they met) but do different things. My mom is an administrative assistant and my dad is an electrical engineer. Both my parents come from big families - I have 17 aunts and uncles and many cousins. ]]> 2017-07-10 22:37:33 UTC https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426061 jess_mccolgan https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426181 I recently got married - May 6th, 2017. Fun fact, my husband and I actually graduated from the same high school, but we did not know each other then (we graduated with 1,100+ students). ]]> 2017-07-10 22:40:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426181 jess_mccolgan https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426251 I enjoy hiking and camping with friends and family. I also enjoy a good book - when I have time to read. The last book I read was "11/22/63" by Stephen King. It had so many twists and turns and it is somewhat history based (that's what my bachelor's degree is in). ]]> 2017-07-10 22:42:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426251 jess_mccolgan https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426357 I have a Boston Terrier names Rupert who I enjoy spending my time with. He keeps my husband and I thoroughly entertained. We take him on walks, car rides, and occasionally to the lake - he likes to swim. ]]> 2017-07-10 22:45:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426357 jess_mccolgan https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426433 I hope to gain knowledge in career and college counseling. In the fall, I will be interning at a high school working with all seniors. This class fell perfectly in my schedule and will be beneficial come the start of the new school year when I will be helping students apply for college and think about their future careers. I hope to learn all the ins and outs of this process and become an effective school counselor who can handle the task of helping students with their futures. ]]> 2017-07-10 22:47:09 UTC https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426433 jess_mccolgan https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426563 After graduation, my goal is to have my own desk (in a school district) and students to work with and guide. I want to help instill confidence and give guidance to students. I want to help them set goals and plan a future for them. I want to build relationships with the students and give them someone to talk to in times of need.]]> 2017-07-10 22:50:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426563 jess_mccolgan https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426612 Another goal of mine is to earn my Doctorate. Earning a Doctorate would mean a lot to me. I would be the first in my family to earn such a high degree. ]]> 2017-07-10 22:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jess_mccolgan/icebreakeractivity/wish/178426612
