c4 tribune may 11 1988 teen takes the class in coop rob pagliaro is a 17yearold teacher at orchard park public school on a coop program which he says has taught him as much as hes learned and then some hes a teachers assistant by bruce stapley rob pagliaro the 17yearold grade 11 student at stouffville district secondary school is a selfconfident young man with a way about him that makes you think hes got it all figured out but hell be the first to admit that when it comes to an eventual career hes caught between the horns of a dilemma but thanks to the schools coop program that sees students get the opportunity to experience work place situa tions rob is getting a taste of something he feels he just might want to pursue on a full time basis after his schooling is through since october of last year the personable young gentleman has been spending every second morning of the school week at orchard park public school as a teachers assistant and hes fit in so well that some of the teachers have mistaken him for a fulltime teacher they thought i was in my first year as a teacher i guess because i always wear a shirt and tie when i go there cant decide rob who lives just north of markham with his parents and his three brothers and sisters is torn between two different types of occupations and he thought the teaching experience would help him make his decision my mom was a teacher he says but my dad and my brother are electricians and i might be interested in becoming one too people person while he has never worked with his father or his brother he claims to have a certain aptitude for that type of work but in the meantime hes getting to experi ence first hand the world of teaching and although he doesnt know if tie would necessarily be come a teacher or not he feels he would certainly like to have a job where he works with people the idea of trying out a teaching position as part of the coop program came to him last year when he talked to ann wil son the head of the family stu dies department at sdss a su pervisor of the coop program she set rob onto orchard park teacher barb wideman who along with grade 8 teacher john sandham agreed to take him on as an assistant problem learners i spend an hour and a half with barb in her special education class and another hour and a half with john in his grade 8 class says rob as barbs assistant i work right

real challenge a lot of them have trouble reading answering questions and understanding math but there has been prog ress his grade 8 kids provide him with the opportunity to teach the class work with groups and even conduct and mark tests the grade 8s are older and are more of a challenge in some ways he claims but there has been great interaction and you can really talk to them learned support rob feels that returning to a public school setting several years after attending as a child has helped him see things from a different angle and he says that things have definitely changed since he was there the kids are more open and they tell you what they think that plus the fact they are now so aware of things like sex and aids they have profes sionals come to the school and talk to them about that kind of thing he has enjoyed the fact that so many of the teachers at orchard park are relatively young with an open approach to the kids the teachers treat me like one of them in the staff room there is a good atmosphere at the school and the teachers are friendly along with the time he spends in the classroom rob claims he must also spend a certain amount of time in preparation for his les sons ill write up a lesson plan if im teaching a class its neces sary to prepare a day ahead keeps busy he still manages to find time for his part time job with consumers distributing in markham and manages the squeeze in some skiing and hockey in the winter as for the coop involvement meeting his original expecta tions rob claims it has done so and then some i got more than i bargained for he maintains and i found out i couldnt just put in time that there is a lot of involvement and its good to see that the kids enjoy it its a break in their regular routine being his first experience with kids the teaching opportunity has shown him the importance of staying on top of things when you are in charge of youngsters the kids will tell you what to do if you dont take charge right away robs career dilemma will con tinue for a while yet he still hasnt decided whether hell take a job at a day camp this summer or work as an electricians assis tant but whatever he ends up doing he will
