as far as students go I see myself on a scale of 1 to 10 as about a 7. I use a lot of repetition, the 'we do' approach, hands on learning, examples. As far as staff go, I am currently training a co-worker and I think he is on a level of about 7. I explain the steps as well as what may be helpful based on experience. I saw him take initiative at the end of the day with the student. Last year at the afterschool program I took the initiative to show another new staff member things such as the routines of the program

on a scale of 1 to 10 I see myself as a 7. I started with a new student who seems to be struggling in many areas. I am doing plenty of hand over hand coaching and have started seeing small results in only 2 weeks. His mom told me he's doing a lot better. I am currently working as a Reading Partner volunteer in Melrose 2x/wk and have slowly started noticing improvements in my student. She is remembering definitions better. She was able to give very good character descriptions today

On a scale of 1 to 10 I would say 7. I started with a new student and already his mom is very happy with me. She says her son likes working with me. He is having trouble with counting money so I am doing more of a 'we do' approach and he has already started getting better in counting by 10's for the dimes. As a current RP volunteer, I see my student doing better. First she couldn't remember what infer meant but after I had her write down the meaning and repeat it with me she now gives an excellent answer when asked what it means
