Report

Introduction

The main objective of this report is to talk about my six weeks’ experience in the Rousseau School for the next generations and for anybody who wants to postulate.

About the School

Rousseau School is an educational institution with low resources and with a high percentage of vulnerability socioeconomic, it located in Chile, in the community of Maipu. This school was created in 2004 and now has 540 students of different nationalities. Also the school account with all the primary and secondary levels of education.

My work experience

For six weeks my work it focuses on only one grade, the 3th grade of primary education.

In the first visit, with my team saw the 3th grade in a regular day to learn about the dynamics in a normal day. For the next 2 weeks I worked with kids and the principal teacher in them behaviors between partners. They were aggressive and jokers with each other, they did not respect they teachers and nobody could ‘’control them’’ in the education sense, they did not have auto control.

At the 3 and 4 week, I learnt how to stimulate kids with aggressive behaviors and how to channel the destructive impulses in other activities related with the painting, the conversations and the work in groups. I learnt dynamics of groups and to be patient and attend the necessities of the kids.

In the last weeks we tried to work with videos about the respect, tolerance, comradeship, love, peace, etc. We did a lot of manual works like paste images in a poster, write how the 3th grade could change in the future and we talked about the emotions of the kids and how to solve them problems.

General Comments

I think my work in this school was good; my team was nice with the activities and to think in the problematic topics. I gained a lot of knowledge related with kids and the functions of the school. With the comments of the teachers and the psychologist of the school, I think we did a great intervention and the students express they gratitude before I leave the school in my last visit.

Conclusion

In conclusion, the Rousseau school is a nice place to work in, but not for everyone if you don’t like to work with little kids and if you don’t like loud sounds and screaming all the day. However, you can learn a lot about your abilities and your limits, to be creative and spontaneous with students, because that could be really hard.

Biodata

I’m Jonathan Flores, I was born in 1999 in Santiago (Chile), in somewhere of Providencia, I’m 19 years old, I’m single, I’m atheistic. My father is Alejando Flores and my mom Luz Astete.

I studied in 3 schools when I was a child. The first school was Belen School, I was in it until my 8^th birth day, then I changed to Presidente Alessandri School because my other school closed and I finished primary studies in this school. When I reach 14 years I changed again for other school, that school was Liceo José Victorino Lastarria and I finished my basics studies in Lastarria. Now I’m studying Psychology in Universidad de Chile, I’m coursing the second year, I need to complete three years more to finish my career.

Only one time I worked in my life, I was so lazy, in the last summer I worked doing inventory for an industry of cloths and then doing inventory for bags of favors. It was horrible, the pay was low and the schedule was so extensive, I think I will not work again doing inventory.

I think I don’t have a special skill that I can mention here, but I think I’m good cooking any kind of food.

My interests are focus in my career, finish and then work, then travel around the world, I don’t want to stay here in Chile, I want to meet new people and cultures and maybe make my life in other place.

My hobbies are play video games, play the electric guitar, read books of detectives and mystery, travel, listen to music, go to the gym and swim, I enjoy swim in pools or in the sea.
