Elementary Welcomes Johnson
Justin Johnson is a new paraprofessional at Summersville Elementary school for the 2010-2011 school year. Johnson comes to Summersville from Birch Tree, graduating from Liberty High School in 2005. He is currently attending SBU in Mountain View for an associate degree in General Studies.He plans to pursue a degree in Elementary Education.
Johnson decided on a career in education because he likes to help the children grow, and to be a good role model for them. He feels the schools biggest asset is the teachers and faculty because they are very enthused about teaching the students and the students want to learn.
The greatest challenge Justin has encountered so far is learning what to do daily and connecting with the students in special education and finding ways to help them learn.
Johnson is looking forward to helping the students in the special education department. He likes to see the students learn and want to learn more when they learn something new.
Johnson likes to hunt, fish and play sports.
