Meeting Students’ Needs

Training in guided reading (much like reading recovery).

Provide one on one intervention with struggling reader.

She and a teacher from Taylor are the first Trenton teachers trained in this by WC-RESA

The training was every Monday throughout the school year.

Mrs. Cheney was selected for WC-RESA “Select” training program

Mrs. Cheney selected a student to receive the 20-30 minute daily reading intervention.

When he began 2nd grade he read at a level “4/D”

When he ended 2nd grade he read at a level “12/G”

He began 3rd grade as a “G” (below end of 1st grade) and began receiving the Select intervention

He currently is on benchmark for ending 2nd grade.

Young 5s

For the past three years, 2nd grade teachers Dawn Kemp and Andrea Segedi have job shared at Hedke.

Job-Sharing in the second grade

Every morning, Mrs. Kemp teaches the Grade Level Content Expectations which include guided reading, science and social studies.

Job-Sharing in the second grade

The GLCE’s that incorporate writing, speaking and mathematics are covered by Mrs. Segedi every afternoon.

Job-Sharing in the second grade

Both teachers chose their subjects based on their strengths and love of the content.

This situation has been a success due to strategic planning. For example:

Currently at one of the academic learning centers in the morning (with Mrs. Kemp), children are “playing” a board game to encourage memorization of basic multiplication facts. In the afternoon, students are taught new problem solving strategies using multiplication (with Mrs. Segedi).

Job-Sharing in the second grade

When parents first encounter a job sharing situation for their child, they are usually reluctant. However, after they see how it works, they end up realizing it was an excellent learning experience for their child. Parents and students were surveyed during each year of the job sharing arrangement. They have yet to have a negative response!! Here are some of the comments:

“I thought that having both Mrs. Kemp and Mrs. Segedi was a wonderful opportunity for my son. He was able to benefit from both of their strengths. I think my son definitely benefitted by this experience and I would recommend this job share experience for other children as well . . . I hope my daughter gets them for second grade.”

“The teaching skills are different and outstanding.”

“My daughter loves having two teachers.”

Job-Sharing in the second gradeParents

“I think that having two teachers is better because you learn more. I think I have two teachers because I am special. I love having two teachers.”

“It is better to have two teachers because you get smarter and because you have more people to love you.”

“It is better to have two teachers because if you are getting sick of one teacher you get another one soon.”
