Post #5 - Week of October 11th 2023

 This week, I wanted to share some work that I helped a student with during afterschool. My primary job is a Program Director for a Community Based Organization at the school that I also substitute teach. During homework time at the program, I was helping the student with their homework and I felt proud because I was able to apply what I learned from the class and from speaking with the lead teacher. I used to tell kids the answers for their homework or just flip it back at them by saying things like " You learned this today in class, you don't need my help". However, I feel that I was able to guide the student with completing their homework. The student and I was able to apply the strategies that were taught in class together, and it showed me that the work that I didn't know what to do is changing for the better.
