An almost independent week

Last week I was only under the watchful care of a supervisor for about a day and a half. By far the most independent week I have had yet. And you know what? I survived! Nothing traumatic happened and I didn't screw anything up! SCORE!

I had a boring Monday - but you should know - they are always boring. I have yet to figure out what to work on at my Monday school site. I progress monitor 4 kiddos and occasionally have a student to assess, but that's about it. I tend to just get homework done, so I really can't complain about that!

Tuesday I got to the school site to discover a list of things to do waiting for me. So I jumped on that. Observed in a kindergarten class and got asked by a couple of them if I was one of the students moms. Then I tested a kid, observed another kid, and then interviewed a mom using the Vineland.

Wednesday I tested two kids (one of those testing sessions was half counseling), interviewed a one-on-one aide in a first graders class, progress monitored some intervention kids, and met with a teacher about some students she feels need counseling.

Thursday I did a couple of student observations, did more progress monitoring, tracked down a kid who we'd missed during benchmarks for ORF, and met with one of my supervisors.

Friday, I did lots of progress monitoring, two behavioral observations, tested two kids, interviewed a teacher, finished a report, a did a bit of counseling.

Busy busy week, but I enjoyed it! I can actually say I felt more competent than I have ever felt before. Now, mind you, I still don't feel ready to go it alone by any means, but I actually do feel like I am sort of getting the hang of some of it.
