Field Experience Report
I decided to go to a seventh grade class on two separate days, April 6th and April 7th to do my field experience observations. The four different classes I observed are part of a school that is located in the lower side of the county of Otsego, New York. The city where the school is located is also known as “City of Hills”. The location of the school is hard to describe because it is located in the middle of nowhere. It is hard notice the school because the entrance of the school is well hidden. At least for me it was hard to find because I needed to follow a trail to get to the school. The school is also located next to another school which is the city’s high school. From what I noticed the community did not seem bad

A student from each group got up to get a big piece of paper to write down the questions. The teacher announced that they will get have to split the work appropriately because they would be timed. There was four students in each group, before they started each of the students were deciding what task they would choose. Two of the students read the book, while another wrote the question down, and another student wrote down the answers. The questions on the board were 1. Describe the battle of Yorktown, 2. What are the actions of Washington and Rochambeau of Yorktown, 3. What are the actions of Cornwalls at Yorktown, and the last question was 4. Describe the surrender at Yorktown. While I was observing the first class, there was at least one student in each group that would reword the answers. One of the students were arguing over the actions of Washington in Yorktown. When I was watching them argue over the answer the first thing I thought about was the difference in their cognitive development. One of the students who was girl wanted to write more than what the book explained meanwhile the boy just wanted to copy down word by word from the book. When the two came across to an answer they agreed on and continued working with each

    Field Experience Working as a Para educator in the Mt. Pleasant School District had opened my understanding about how important it is the job of a teacher. As I observed Mrs. Ensminger performed her duties, it has confirmed my conviction that a teacher is a teacher because they do not see their duties as a job it is a calling. Mrs. Ensminger, a level 1 special education teacher, is already at school no later than 7:15 am. Before school even starts she is already coordinated with core class teachers what she need to work on every individual student under her care. First period in her class is Science.…

    Field Experience at Wildwood and Ernest Manning My cohort of ten was assigned to visit two schools over a two-week period with a full week dedicated to each location. The two schools were Wildwood elementary and Ernest Manning high school and while their relative closeness to one another would suggest that some Wildwood students may eventually be at Ernest Manning, they are opposites in terms of their status, how they carry themselves, and what they believe to be most important for students. Wildwood elementary is an old school as observed from its small and outdated architecture. Classes are small and at times claustrophobic, especially when packed with 20-25 of the nearly 600 students making it difficult if not impossible to navigate the…

I was assigned to Ms. Pickholtz’s 1st grade class. When I first arrived to the charter school I was extremely nervous and a little anxious because just the thought of actually helping a teacher run a class seemed scary to me because I felt like I would do a horrible job at it. However, I was welcomed by both the teacher and the class…

    This week during my field experience, I got the amazing opportunity to go to Fort Yates and visit the shelter down there. I went down there with an advocate who has her license in social work. That was an amazing opportunity because I learned a lot from being able to talk to her about social work. I found it interesting that when discussing what we learned during college, that there was overlap despite going to different colleges.…

    I arrived at Easton School District’s Forks Elementary School at around 8:45 a.m. that morning, a few minutes before the children were let in for class, to observe a 4th grade classroom. The instructor for the class, Mrs. Powell met with me in the main office to walk me down to her classroom. The first thing I saw when walking into the classroom was all of the different learning tools around the room, Mrs. Powell's use of both chalkboards for different objectives was just one, along with open reading areas. The classroom was set up into different 4 person groups, in which the students were able to work together and collaborate. When I was getting settled into the classroom around 9:00 a.m., the students began to arrive officially starting…

    “Education is the most powerful weapon in which you can use to change the world” is a quote from Nelson Mandela. School is a place where all students such as the students at Stafford Middle School can feel safe and comfortable in their environment. The physical geography of Stafford Middle is really just a large secure building, the human is very diverse, and The human interactions describe as different, because the students have like one maybe two groups of friends and that’s who they stick to and really nobody else. The physical geography is a large and secure building.…

    The school was much like my experience of my sixth grade of low income families the population being primarily black and Hispanic, the teachers dreading going to work as much as the students dreaded being there. There were often fights in halls or bathrooms, open bullying, and the idea of college was far-fetched. The school seemed more supportive of teen pregnancy than they did of students going to college. I stayed in this school until I was a junior where I transferred to the other campus. I wasn’t used to making permanent friendships but luckily the school was huge so changing groups was…
