UNK senior Allysen Gross has taken advantage of many opportunities to get experience working with children in the classroom before student teaching. Most recently, the K-12 special education major from Seward worked as the lead paraprofessional at the university’s annual Loper Launch Enrichment Camp in June.
Gross helped plan the summer camp, which offers one-week, hands-on classes to Kearney-area kids in first through eighth grades. She also managed the team of paraprofessionals who assisted in the classrooms.
