Job Shadowing at Wallenpaupack Area High School
Junior Caitlin Merrigan had the opportunity to job shadow with four of Wallenpaupack's special education teachers. Since Caitlin will be pursuing a special education degree when she graduates next June, she appreciated the opportunity to observe the teachers who work in various special education settings: Ms. Schkolenko, Mrs. Collinsworth, Mrs. O'Connor, and Mrs. Manzione showed Caitlin many different techniques, demonstrating their own styles of teaching children with special needs. "This is exactly what I would like to do for the rest of my life."
Wallenpaupack's Job Shadowing program enables high school students to develop realistic views about careers and the educational requirements, necessary skills, and practical experiences they will need to succeed. Shadowing experiences help the students to understand how their classroom work will provide the foundation for their careers. Often, the shadowing opportunities permit students to explore career interests and learn about pathways (including post-secondary options) so that they may achieve their goals. Job shadowing also enables students to create positive contacts who may further assist the students.
