IEd Bachelor of Education (Mathematics) - 巧兒 (2014)

    一個偶然的機會,讓我得悉共融教室有實習輔導員這個職位,我就想去申請了。那時候,我連履歷都沒有,漏夜趕起了一份,然後當晚就交了。最後,我幸運地成了其中一員,這是我第一份補習以外的工作。其實,我是一個坐不定的人,最怕就是悶,我希望將來做老師除了因為我喜歡小朋友外,還是因為老師不用整天都坐在辦公室裏面埋頭在文件裏。在每個課堂除了教授課本知識外,還可以跟他們聊聊天,分享我的經驗,也聆聽他們的苦與樂。
    在這段時間,我不會放過每一個能出去的機會,中學、小學、送標書等,我不怕遠,什麼地方我都會去。我住在沙田,一大清早到天水圍一間中學觀課及帶熱身遊戲,下午還要回到九龍灣繼續上班,當初不習慣的時候真的很累,一不小心就睡著了。還有一次,上午在荃灣,下午在寶林,雖然時間緊迫,連休息的時間都沒有,但是我樂此不疲。從每一次帶組的經歷,我都學到了很多東西,從事前準備到實行,一次比一次好,看到學生玩得開心,我也開心,更確定我將來當老師的夢想。
    題外話,不要認為送標書是一件簡單的事,我因為一次送標書的機會,而首次踏足土瓜灣一個我從未去過的地方,當時只靠手上的GoogleMap協助,走錯了不少路,但是卻給了我一個機會踏足這個地方,也算是多了解了香港。正正就是你不認識,才要去做,才要去多了解。當初在入讀教院後不久,我很害怕將來不能應付有特殊學習需要的學生,一直逃避。直到今年暑假,我選擇了面對,在共融教室做實習輔導員的期間,見多了,跟導師談多了,其實他們有此學習問題不是他們的錯,他們都想跟普通人一樣能正常學習,所以只要通過合身的教導,他們將來亦能名成利就。

    很感謝共融教室給我這個機會,這幾個月學到的比起上課更有用,我會結合我所學到的應用於將來學校實習和工作上。

HKU Bachelor of Arts - Vivienne (2015)

Spending four months doing an internship at Link Education allows me to grow both professionally and personally. Professionally, it affords me numerous opportunities to broaden my knowledge in field of Special education needs (SENs) through assisting in lesson planning and teaching, having class observation, etc. The skills, such as lesson planning, classroom management that I have acquired certainly help me prepare for a career in education. Having knowledge of SENs can allow me to identify those students and hopefully amend teaching materials and lesson planning in order to ensure every student is taken care of.

Personally, I got to know myself more, for instance, discovering my strengths and weaknesses. Indeed, the staff here are friendly and always ready to offer you a helping hand by having intellectual discussions, offering you advice and guidance, etc.


In short, this internship not only raises my awareness of taking care of SEN students in educational settings but also deepens my understanding of myself. I have to thank Link education for having me as one of the interns; and I hope our paths cross again.
