Exit Interview I would say that the person who influenced me at my placement was really my supervisor, Mrs. Barber. She is a very successful teacher whom i respect greatly and really look up to. She helped influence me by always encouraging me to help in the elass, and helped me to learn to take initiative. She was always helping me to learn new things, and allowed me to see the kids grow and learn, and help to teach me new things by pushing me outside my comfort zone. I was able to acquire so many new skills while at my placement.

This semester in Child Development has helped me a great deal. I came into this class wanting to be a Child Development teacher at the high school level. I am leaving this class with the same ambition to become a Child Development teacher. I have learned so much by taking this class and I know it will all be helpful in the future once I am standing at the front of a classroom. Also, just by watching the way Mary teaches the class, I have learned things that I want to take into my own style of teaching.
The most influential teacher I had was my senior year English teacher, Charlotte Sarnowski. She was a hard-working teacher who earned the respect of all students, regardless of their academic ability. As a native New Yorker who was transplanted to what was at that time a small southern town, Mrs. Sarnowski was different from many of the other teachers at my high school. I truly enjoyed her class because she challenged how I thought. Mrs. Sarnowski was an inspirational teacher to me because she saw all students as learners, set high expectations, and challenged our small-town mindsets.
In closing, my time in the kindergarten autistic support room has opened my eyes to say the least. I have a greater understanding and respect for these children and teachers. I have seen many teachers and aids with my work as a case manager but I have not seen a better teacher as Mrs. F. I was fortunate and lucky to work with such an experienced professional in the field to help lay my foundation for my future role as a school psychologist.

A teacher that has had the most impact on me would have to be my current Human Services instructor Teresa. I’m sure there have been other teachers in my past that at the time were the most impactful. I think that’s what makes them impactful in the first place, because of the time of your life or what you were trying to find in a sense helped shaped you at that time, and that includes those people that helped along the way. Teresa has been the most impactful has of late, because she has helped me fall in love with my major and has me looking forward to my future job. The Human Service major was new at my campus, and the school had hired a couple of different instructors to teach the classes the first semester. I happened to be one of the lucky
My next major influence was my first grade teacher. I remember most of that school year was spent on Martin Luther King Jr. That was the first time I had learned about racism, and what had happened in the past to blacks, amongst others. That school year had a great impact on me and it has changed me ever since to treat all people fairly, no matter what color, sex, intelligence level, social class, etc. This experience has taught me the meaning of democracy, and how to practice it.
Another strength that I have is being an active listener. I listened to my clients and utilized a lot of micro skills. Insuring confidentiality was also a strength that I developed closer to the end of field placement. Conducting assessments and making sure I tracked and exhausted the topics was also a strength that I identified throughout field. Practicing from a strengths perspective was also another area I excelled at when working with my clients. A skill that I could work on is being more conscious of self in terms of body language during interviews, because at times I find myself with my arms cross which may give an indication that I’m closed off or

In doing this, it helps me organize and accomplish my work and meet deadlines that are important. A personal strength that I have at home is patience.

I am a dedicated and hard working mother and I always make sure that my daughter gets the love and attention she needs.

I was taught to respect my self as well as others.
