EPC2903 – Teaching Practice 2b

                                       Writing a Reflection                                                             

Select

My event is with the special need. I have dialed with 4 types of special need. I used

to can’t deal with them especially with Autism student.

Describe

When I was in teaching practice, I used to have two classes and in each class I

had 2 different type of special need in each class. Every day, I had difficulty to

deal with them.

I was afraid to do something wrong with them. The Autism student used to not

speak to me because I’m new person for him and it take the time to acclimate with

me.

Analyze

This happens to me because I didn't have enough information about them.

I didn’t face this problem before, so it is known experiences for me. Also, my MST

didn’t know how to deal with them also.

Appraise

Special needs want or need special treatment. Each type of need special has a

different kind of treatment. This was my problem, I have to learn how to

treatment with each type. The special needs teacher wasn’t kind to me. She

didn’t help me or advise.



Transform 

I tried to deal with them, understand them. I have to ask my sister about them

and know more about them from here because she is special need teacher in KG.

Also, I have reached about them and focus on Winona's class and try as much I can

to get full information about them.
