This is Mrs. Buck’s 20th year as a paraeducator at Bancroft-Rosalie Community Schools.
Mrs. Buck is assigned to assist in the kindergarten room in
the morning and in elementary computers in the afternoon. Under the direction
of our Technology Coordinator, Terri organizes the computer activities for our
K-6 computer program. Last year she came across an on-line math program called
IXL that is correlated to the Nebraska State Standards. Terri talked with the
elementary staff and administration about using IXL during elementary computers
to help the students prepare for the Nebraska state math assessment. After
getting the okay, Terri set up every student with an IXL account that can be
accessed from both school and home. She monitors student use and gives out
rewards when students reach usage goals. This year she is trying out a similar
program for reading with a few of the classes.
Terri has attended the Paraeducator since 2002. In 2005 she
completed the Project Para program to become highly qualified as a Title I
paraeducator. She has also been trained in several components of our reading
and math programs, such as Language For Learning, Connecting Math Concepts, and
Rewards.
Congratulations Terri for being recognized as an outstanding Paraeducator.
