Exit Interview

Content:

(1) What is your essential question, and what are your answers? What is the best way to teach 6th grade special needs students, Integrating the Common Core standards into each students IEP, Using Visuals and Mnemonics, and Lesson Differentiation. What is your best answer and why? Lesson Differentiation, because my other two answers are forms of Lesson Differentiation.

(2) What process did you take to arrive at this answer?

It was the last answer I came up with so me and my mentor came up with it last. My first answer was too vague so I had to change it to better suit my topic and I did.

(3) What problems did you face? I had to change my third answer, that was a small issue, but a quick change resolved it. My first answer was patience and understanding, very VERY vague, but I didn't see it as vague before I wrote it in my essay template.

(4) What are the two most significant sources you used to answer your essential question and why? The book that I keep referencing, Including Students with Special Needs: A Practical Guide for Classroom Teachers has been an important one. It gives a lot of info about my topic and has helped me through the year. My other source is my mentor. She helped me come up with my third answer and guided me through my first two answers. Her name is Rosemarie Aguirre and she has taught 6th grade special education for about 7 years now.
