      Entry Level

      "During my practicum, I showed that I could be a leader by approaching the teacher whom I was assisting, with some suggestions on classroom engagement. We made a plan together to help the student's to better focus, by rearranging the seating plan and making more time for physical movement. I think she appreciated the input that I had, despite just being in a practicum placement."
