Cherry, Abby. Personal Interview. 11 Nov. 2010

Interview
1) How long was your stay in the hospital?
-I was in the hospital for one month.

2) How many days a week did some type of teacher or tutor come in and work with you?
-Once I was like conscious enough to go to "school", I went 5 days a week for 2 hours.

3) When you completed an assignment did the hospital teacher grade it or was it sent to your home school?
-My homework was sent to my home school to prevent me from falling behind.

4) Do you feel like being in the hospital put you behind in school when you came back?
-I wasn't behind in school when I returned. Thanks to the school work I did in the hospital, and the tutoring I got when I got back home, I was caught up completely.

5) Did you ever have "class" with any other patients in the hospital?
-There were always other kids with me when I was having class. A lot of the work was independent and then the various teachers would make their way around the class to check up on our progress.

6) Any other comments about your education while in the hospital?
-I'm really glad school was offered because otherwise I would have been behind on work for 3 months (1 month-hospital, 2 months-home).

Saye, Trish. Personal Interview. 12 Nov. 2010.

Interview
1) What is the average number of students you are working with at one time?
I am working with 26 whole group and small groups consisting of around 5-7.

2) Out of a group of 20 students roughly how many of them would be at the appropriate reading level for your class at the start of the year?
Roughly 15 - for this year at least

3) What are some of your favorite innovative tools and activities to use in the classroom?
Interactive tools that have the flash and flare that they can do independently
Pass around tools - ex. Reading beach balls that work on critical thinking

4) How often are you able to work with a student one on one?
In small group I work for about 15 minutes at a time twice a week
On an individual basis I would say a sporadic 10 min. here and there when I can get to them

5) Have you ever had a student in your class that was hospitalized during the course of the year? If so, do you think they were behind when they returned back to your classroom.
I had a student out from surgery (not in the hospital the entire time) and missed 2 weeks. He came back with no work completed but had not suffered any regression in core academic areas

6) How confident do you feel at the end of the year that most of the students in your class will continue their education past high school?
Right now if parental involvement and support could stay the same, I would guess that 60% might pursue some sort of collegial level of education.
