3-5 year olds [1]

Submitted by L13 on Thu, 02/21/2013 - 10:39am.

My placement is at a small school with 3-5 year olds on Monday and Wednesdays from 9-12. I have to drive there so if you were interested in joining me for a visit you would need to get a ride with me and stay for the whole time.

special education [2]

Submitted by sully04 on Wed, 02/20/2013 - 9:51pm.

I am working with a reading specialist at a school for students with moderate to severe autism. Our day is split between working with small groups of students and working with individuals. I go on Mondays from 9-230! The school is about 25 minutes away by car so I would keep that in mind.

placement [3]

Submitted by transitfan on Tue, 02/19/2013 - 9:34pm.

I am in an elementary school music class at a private school in Bryn Mawr. I'm just starting now so one might want to wait until the first week of March before visiting to give me and the teacher a little time to settle in. It is a new teacher and a general music class, grades 3-5. The school runs on a 7-day rotation schedule so it varies a little, but in general it will be Mondays and Wednesdays from 12:30-2:50-ish.

I also teach a music-reading/intro music theory course at Haverford for new students to chorale and anyone would be welcome to visit that once it starts. So far I have just been grading all of the new students' tests to see who will need to be in the course; the course itself might not begin until after break.

I have a placement in a kindergarten class in Philadelphia. I'm there on Tuesday from 9:30am to 3:15ish. We work on writing/reading in the mornings before lunch, after lunch we work on math, then the students have music class, before returning for a half hour of humanities before dismissal. It's easiest to get to my placement by car.

After school tutoring [7]

Submitted by et502 on Mon, 02/18/2013 - 12:50am.

I have a placement at an afterschool writing & tutoring center in NE Philly. It takes about 40 min to get there, and I think they would be very flexible about visiting volunteers. I haven't gone yet, but I'll be going on Tuesdays from 3:00-5:30 starting this week. I may also be working on a workshop for a Saturday or Sunday afternoon.

My placement is at a media company that deals with public school news. I go on Tuesdays from 10:30am-3:30. I drive, and I was told that public transportation there is close to impossible, so you would have to come with me unless you have a car.

6th Grade Lang Arts/Social Studies [10]

Submitted by ellenv on Sat, 02/16/2013 - 3:30pm.

I go to a 6th grade language arts/social studies classroom in a charter school on Tuesdays from 8AM-1PM. I work mainly with small groups of students during activities or one-on-one. The best time to come is on the earlier side (around the time that the students get there at 8AM)

Family Center in Norristown -- Mondays and Wednesdays [13]

Submitted by dharris on Tue, 02/19/2013 - 2:17pm.

I'm at a family center in Norristown - 2:30-6:00pm round-trip, Mondays and Wednesdays, or 1:30-6:00 if you wanna get some authentic Mexican food for lunch! Many students from nearby elementary school in Norristown come to this family center after school. Also, I'm working one-on-one with 3 students, 2 of which speak little to no English, so some level of Spanish profiency would probably be helpful. (It also might be interesting to have someone with no prior Spanish experience though...)

I have an on campus placement [20]

Submitted by Sarah on Thu, 02/14/2013 - 11:56pm.

I have an on campus placement through the Multicultural Center. I would have to check with my field supervisor, but if people wanted to do a cross-visitation, they could probably come to a workshop about privilege and participate in the workshop. The dates/times are Saturday, March 2nd 1-3:30 and Saturday, April 5, 1-4:30.
