About Me.....

Hi my name is Shannon Smith and right now I am a sophomore here at the University of South Alabama. My major is Special Education grades 6-12. I plan on getting a degree in all levels of Special Education, but 6-12 is my main interest so I decided that I wanted to start off getting that degree. I came to South Alabama from Katy, Texas where I spent much of my time in high school helping out with the special education classes. My senior year of high school I also did a program called Ready, Set, Teach where I spent three hours every morning observing and student teaching in all elementary grade level classes. We got to create small and large group lesson plans and we had to use them in different classrooms and create them according to what the students were learning at the time. I am very excited about becoming a Special Education teacher and the experience that I have had so far has given me a good idea of what I am going to be doing!

My Personal Philosophy on Teaching

I believe that ALL children have the right to go to school and get an education no matter what their status is. Learning is an important part of life and without it our world would not progress the way it does. Every child should be treated fairly and given the same opportunities as everyone else. I want to be able to make an impact in children's lives and help the to learn and grow as a person and student. I want to be a teacher that helps maximize a student's ability to learn and live in the real world and be able to take whatever comes their way. In my case, special education students need to be abl to help take care of themselves and be able to have a job after high school if possible and be able to be efficient at it.
