| I have been working in the Chicago Public Schools for a total
of twenty – eight years. I have consistently worked at one school-
Spalding High School until two years ago. I am a City-Wide Chicago Public
School teacher with Specialized Services-Home/Hospital Services. I have
worked with most special needs students and have been a high school counselor
for eight of those years. Since transferring to Home and Hospital Services,
I have been assigned to one site called Chicago Girls that is a residential
site for girls aged 12-18 that are in a drug rehabilitation program. When
there is a need at other hospital sites and my enrollment decreases, I
also work at those sites. My most recent experience has been at Children’s
Memorial Hospital’s Dialysis Center. The children there are aged
up to 18.
My choice of a Curriculum Site for the WIT 2003 program is one on job
readiness. In my experience, career aspirations direct and motivate a
student to learn across the curriculum. My students come to me for all
subjects at all levels and I found that choosing a curriculum for my
site that I could use upon entry into the next school year proved to
be an obstacle.
