Reflection/Student Engagement- prompt 4

In a word, my time in the classroom to this point has been a relief. Leaving the regular ed classroom after 15 years to pursue special education was scary. To this point, I am so happy with my choice. Most of my job this year consists of pull outs, but because I teach two classes in addition to the SpEd portion of my job, I am still using classroom management strategies and student engagement. I am always walking around when giving lessons or feedback. Montessori classrooms lend themselves to both independent projects as well as group projects, so I feel it is easier for my students to stay engaged throughout the work time, even the more difficult students.
