Learning the OrmPS way - Day 4



Another day jam packed with information... at least I have the above document to refer back to so that I don't have to S-Q-U-E-E-Z-E anything more into my head. It's great to have everything set out clearly and to also have the opportunity to question and add to the document.


I'm excited to be Talia's mentor and consider myself fortunate to be working in a school who acknowledge that mentor's need release time to work together, share and grow so that they can provide the best support to their PRT. 

Sign Language



Kaori provided us with some #oresome PD in sign language. She has a very humorous nature which made the learning process less intimidating and daunting. I've learned how to sign my name and have a short introductory conversation. I'm looking forward to learning more about sign and I'm sure this will happen with the way that it is immersed in the OrmPS culture.  

It was interesting to learn how to get the attention of a deaf person when they are further away and/or not looking at me. At this stage, I don't think we have any Kdec learners in our habitat, but I will be working alongside others through cross-habitating. This is another new learning curve for me to negotiate as I begin working at OrmPS.

First thing is to learn reading the alphabet when someone else is signing their name.
