Hello Everyone!
My name is Yvonne Harper. I am married with two children; a daughter 22, a son 18 and a 2 year old female black Labrador. My son just graduated from high school and will be attending Rider University this September and my daughter is transferring to Kean University. I am a non-traditional student. I received my Bachelor of Science Degree in Special Education 8 years ago and now I am pursuing my Master in Instructional Media.
I started this journey of graduated school March 14, 2011. I was very nervous about attending graduated school online. My last online course I took was disappointing. The course was extremely accelerated. I took a 3 week course and I felt it was only busy work and not work that gave me meaning. When I spoke to Wilkes’ advisor of the program she was very encouraging and supportive and that broke the ice. After completing my first week I was satisfied that I made the right choice in choosing Wilkes University. The work load is a lot but comfortable. I feel like I am learning instead of just completing a vast amount of busy work. I will recommend this program to my colleagues or anyone who may be interested in a graduated program in technology.
As stated earlier, I am a Special Education teacher. I started my career in Middle School and work there for 4 years. In 2007, our district went full time inclusion. That year my assignment changed. My principal and vice principal wanted me to teach the lower level grades. I was needed in the lower grades because I have training in the Wilson Reading Program. This program is geared to students who cannot read, have a difficult time decoding words or struggle with comprehension skills. This year I taught Pre-K to 5th grade literacy and math.
