This was my first evaluation, and it was primarily based around the professional dispositions of learners, those being: fairness, professional dispositions, reflection, curiosity, honesty, compassion, advocacy, and dedication. This evaluation took place in a general education, first-grade classroom, but the professional dispositions, in my opinion, reflect how a teacher will treat ALL students. Of course, all of these dispositions are essential to being an educator, but I think that advocacy is my strongest disposition.
I hope to work within a special education classroom, but within my own community, I know that it is not as accepted as I would like it to be. In my experience, parents are afraid of that special education title and it carries a negative connotation when it really shouldn't. Advocacy and fighting for my student's rights is an important part of my job. I hope to collaborate with parents, teachers, and service providers to ensure that my students get the services they need to be successful.
