Lakeside School

No day is typical in an elementary classroom! Arrive at school an hour early to address set up and meet with Principal and grade level teammates. Communicate any changes in agenda due to assemblies, visitors, resources. An agenda is posted on the board that met the appropriate time and responsibilities of students. Students come and go, transition from class to class based on subject and breaks for recess, lunch, PE, challenge classes, and pull outs.  After  school, ensure students are aware expectations for online, after school work and they have their belongings.  Make sure that students get safely to designated drop off for parental pick up.  After school clean up and meet with grade level team, after school club: homework club, robotics, language enrichment, or intervention.  Revise lessons for following days.  District committee meetings when applicable.  

During my years, I have learned about control and letting go.  I have developed into a dynamic teacher who knows when to hold 'em and knows when to fold 'em.  I have learned to communicate clearly with the community about student achievement as well as future needs.  I have learned that learning and teaching is not a, cookie cutter.  Each child comes from a different experience and as I teacher I am sensitive and empathetic.  I have learned to hold boundaries, because boundaries were crossed.  I learned that I have so much potential and not to fear the unknown because following through with what I fear the most is when true learning and development take place.

Various styles of management based on school site as well as from year to year.  Management can change from one year to the next, challenging traditions with pioneering.

Co-workers have various beliefs in the art of teaching, some researched based and some based off tradition.  The hardest part of the job was not having the luxury of time or planning for A, B, C and D and having back ups for back ups. However, the most enjoyable time is feeling young everyday and opening the door to new experiences for the community.

For the most part, the teachers and principals I worked with were great. They were almost always willing to go out of their way to help others. Job could be very stressful, depending  on the students' behavior and time constraints. Job could also be a lot of fun, taking classes on field trips, out for PE, or having a lively, fun lesson. Could be difficult to use unfamiliar material and adapting to different classroom management styles. The teachers I worked for usually left easy-to-follow lesson plans, but they allowed me some flexibility if I had something that they thought would benefit their students.

The Lakeside School District is family oriented, student centered and forward thinking.  All classrooms have embraced technology through the use of Smartboards , student iPads and computerized assessment.
All schools offer language immersion classes and several schools are recognized for their dual immersion instruction in Mandarin and Spanish.  Most of our graduates continue their language studies throughout high school and college.
The outstanding teaching staff has received accolades and honors, but their focus is and has always been the achievement of students.

Lakeside was a place where we help one another. It didn’t matter what job description you had or any other roles, we as the employees made it feel like home. Helping and making sure that we are making a difference is important. As my role I made sure I kept the school environment clean, safe and some importantly a positive one.

I had a wonderful learning experience working with children on academic probation who were overcoming several other challenges including abuse, parental substance abuse,  bullying and other issues. I learned about the SARB process and effective collaboration with staff for the benefit of the students.

Busy work place,
•	Care of children with catheters and colostomy bags
•	Monitoring and assisting insulin dependent students
•	Medication dispensing under a physician's order
•	Assist school nurse with vision and hearing screenings
•	Triage injured and perform medical aide in emergencies

This career is fulfilling in the sense that you are giving children a safe place to learn and grow, however, it is very high-stress. The children you would be working with are special education children who have parents that aren't always as involved as they should be.

People are great and hours are flexible. Always trying to please the customers and meet employees requests for hours/location. I have learned new skills that you would not expect from a Childcare assistant job too. 

Under the direction of the school principal or other administrator, provide administrative and other support to ensure the efficient operation of the department and promote a safe and orderly environment for students.

This job was fun because I love working with kids. Although it was only about 2 hours a day, it was a good start. The hardest part of the job was dealing with out of control kids. I learned more about following rules and became more patient.
