Good Day
Well, It's easter Seals playhouse time again. But this time it's very different. I cannot thank Dr. M enough for suggesting that I assign positions to my students. The level of work completed on a daily basis in incredible. The students are fluent in the language used on a job site. Tools and equipment are handled most professionally. We are already hanging roof joist at the end of the first full week of construction. It's really starting to get interesting watching them work. The students are so receptive to the information this way. And I'm not so exausted at the end of everyday. Thanks again!
Vince,
ReplyDeleteI am so glad that assigning positions has worked for you. I have tried the same thing but with little results. We will have to discuss your strategy when we return to school in January. I have the plan laid out but it just doesn't work. I would love to hear what you are doing and see if I can solve my problems.
Have a great holiday.
