Mentorship

I feel that through my mentorship at Montclair High School I have been able to add a new level of depth to my research. Being able to observe my mentor work with students each time that I go in really helps because I notice the way she speaks to them and how she works with them. I am also able to see the way she communicates with everyone around her. In my research I have found that constant communication between the advisor and a student's team is crucial. Through my mentor I see the real life application and different scenarios in which communicates with the student's parents and teachers. Without my mentorship I don't think that I would understand the role of a Special Education Advisor or the IEP process fully. I would understand the basics of how everything works but I would definitely not be able to understand the way the IEP process is different for each child.
