Smart Goal Reflection #1

My first goal was to determine effective strategies to provide positive transitions for a grade two student with Autism. Some of the strategies implemented were not always effective. I was hoping to reach this goal by the end of November 2020; however, this did not happen. The barriers which affected this implementation of this goal was the student attended at different program in the mornings once a week, so there was a change to her regular routine. There really was not a great amount of time spent on reaching this goal as I had to take a leave which brought the process to a halt and the classroom was shut down due to COVID exposure. As an EA, using charts provides essential bits of information that may go unnoticed during a busy school day. Charts are a great assessment tool that I will use to help me identify needs and support my students best.
