    CLINICAL EXPERIENCE INTERVIEW

    FORM

    The following form is to be used as a guide to the interviews you have with people in the
    schools you are assigned to as part of the Junior Field Experience. Possible people to
    interview would be: Principal, Vice-Principal, Secretary, School Nurse, Nurse, Physical
    Education Chairman, Athletic Director, Counselor, and/or others.

    Class Members Name: Date: 10/28/2020

    Person Interviewed: Arielle Magazzu

    Interviewees Position: Special Education

    Years in education: 5 Years in this Position: 4

    Please give a brief description of your job, duties, and/or assignments:

    Assist special education students in grades 4-6 in achieving goals according to IEP. Pull
    out and in class support, providing modifications, accommodations, and supplemental instruction
    and materials when necessary.

    What are some of the problems/challenges with your job/position?

    Every year I switch to a different grade level (I have worked with all grades ranging from
    1st-6th), and every year the students are different. Along with a varying group of students comes
    a varying range of needs and academic levels. There is a challenge of being flexible in terms of
    lessons and modifications. What may have worked in the same grade a past year for one student,
    may not work for another. It is also challenging to have to problem solve on the spot and quickly
    come up with solutions to a students’ struggle. It is also a little bit of a challenge getting
    adequate time each day with each student to assist them in meeting IEP goals or make academic
    progress.
    What do you enjoy most about your job/position?

    What I enjoy most about my position aligns with the challenges. I enjoy working with a
    wide age range of students; it allows me to be well rounded as well as learn from varying levels
    of classroom teachers. I also enjoy watching “aha” moments. In my position there is a lot of hard
    work on both the teacher and students’ end, and when that hard work pays off with a students’
    success, it is an incredible feeling.

    What advice would you give a new teacher?

    The advice I would give to a new teacher is to observe as many teachers at as many levels
    as you can. I’ve learned most of my techniques or instructional methods from teachers I have
    either co taught with, substituted for, done in class support for, or just been in the room for their
    lesson. There is absolutely nothing wrong with observing a technique and using it for yourself.
    I’d also advise to put emphasis on classroom management as quickly as possible. It is extremely
    important to set rules and boundaries right off the bat, as well as being consistent in
    consequences. It may seem as though you’re being tough on the kids, but they thrive with
    structure and knowing what’s expected of them. It’s easy to get lost in the desire to be a “fun” or
    “cool” teacher, but take my word for it, they will respect you and enjoy your class more if there
    is structure and they are completely aware of what’s expected of them.

    [Add other questions if you wish]

    Q: ​Does your personal life or other responsibilities ever interfere with scheduling/planning for
    class?

    A: when you take on a career of teaching, it truly becomes a lifestyle. There are many times I
    take work home, plan on my free time, or am problem solving when I am “off the clock”.
    Teachers are never truly “off the clock”, which is something to be prepared for if you take on
    this career choice. The lines of work and personal life can get blurred very frequently in terms of
    planning and preparing for lessons.
