    00:00:00.230 --> 00:00:03.260
>> Hi, I'm Marie Franklin,
and I am a special educator

    00:00:03.260 --> 00:00:05.860
with Montgomery County Public
Schools in Maryland.

    00:00:05.860 --> 00:00:10.410
So a student who may be very anxious,
who has difficulty, school phobias,

    00:00:10.410 --> 00:00:14.970
has a lot of different factors that
would make it difficult for them

    00:00:14.970 --> 00:00:19.050
to attend a classroom regularly,
we would work with them.

    00:00:19.050 --> 00:00:23.930
There are students who have acting-out behaviors
who are disruptive to the learning environment,

    00:00:23.930 --> 00:00:29.580
who have many, maybe, external factors that
would preclude them from working their way

    00:00:29.580 --> 00:00:36.290
into a regular classroom until we get them to
where they can do that comfortably and succeed.

    00:00:36.290 --> 00:00:39.990
You know, I like to come here early to prepare
myself for the day because working with the type

    00:00:39.990 --> 00:00:44.470
of students that I work with sometimes
it can be very challenging based

    00:00:44.470 --> 00:00:46.030
on how their day is going.

    00:00:46.030 --> 00:00:49.240
So I come in early and make sure
that I have everything lined

    00:00:49.240 --> 00:00:53.280
up for what I feel I'm projecting
for that particular day,

    00:00:53.280 --> 00:00:57.290
and I'm in three different
subjects as far as the content area.

    00:00:57.290 --> 00:01:00.000
I'm in Social Studies, but I
work in three different subjects.

    00:01:00.000 --> 00:01:04.360
For instance, I work in U.S. History, I
work with students in Government classes

    00:01:04.360 --> 00:01:08.380
and in Modern World History, as
well as teaching resource classes.

    00:01:08.380 --> 00:01:12.120
So the resource classes are specifically
only those children who are in --

    00:01:12.120 --> 00:01:16.890
or students that are in the cluster program,
and I -- they're typically on my caseload,

    00:01:16.890 --> 00:01:19.980
so I have a certain group of students
that are assigned to me that I make sure

    00:01:19.980 --> 00:01:22.100
that I work with and have that rapport.

    00:01:22.100 --> 00:01:25.820
I make sure that I understand what I'm
teaching in each class, what my co-teachers,

    00:01:25.820 --> 00:01:28.330
if I'm working with a co-teacher,
what we're going over,

    00:01:28.330 --> 00:01:32.520
what subject matter we're going over, what
lesson, what unit, so that I'm prepared to walk

    00:01:32.520 --> 00:01:37.320
in to help all students, because as a role,
as a co-teacher when I'm in the mainstream,

    00:01:37.320 --> 00:01:40.610
I'm also responsible for the academic
success for all students in there,

    00:01:40.610 --> 00:01:45.670
so if I know the material, then I know I
can confidently help the students succeed,

    00:01:45.670 --> 00:01:49.620
and so I prepare myself for the lessons
for the day to make sure that I'm ready.
