Field Experience Paper

I believe this course is going to be an enrinched experience for us all. Good job to us all for taking the steps in adding another degree to our walls or desks in order to accomplish our career goals. I  understand this is a large but I do hope to speak, even better, network with the majority of you. I wish you all the best on your educational voyage.

Since a young age I have been passionate about ministry, and I have seen God place experiences in my life such as going on mission trips, leading a youth group and working with children. Now I hope to see God continue to form my experience to disciple others and understand their culture as I anticipate going into the mission field one day. I anticipate attending Moody to assist me in achieving a foundational background to nurture, love and disciple people through their spiritual walk in a tangible way that is understood. I believe Moody will help me reach this goal by giving me a biblical education to understand not just the Bible, but people as well as I teach and gain experience to fulfill God’s plan in my life for His glory. As Romans 12:3-8

I have always been interested in academia! That’s why I picked academic pharmacy and professional leadership rotation with Dr. Phelps as my second priority when I had to prioritize my favorite rotations during the Fall 2015 semester. The moment I saw it scheduled for me, I knew it would be a great experience for me to expand my academic background and to improve my professional skills. On the second of May, Jonathan and I started our rotation by meeting Dr. Phelps and introducing ourselves, then Dr. Phelps gave us a brief overview of the academic rotation objectives. We were instructed to work on different projects, self-improvement certifications, building syllabi, and assisting academic administrators if

Some experiences and skills I will bring to this field are my exceptional time management skills and leadership skills. To begin, having a job simultaneously with being a high school student, has coached me through working against tight time restraints. For example, working over nine hours a week and picking up extra hours, taught me to be efficient. Therefore, I make sure to set aside sufficient amounts of time for homework and studying everyday to prevail my successes. Additionally, coaching has taught me notable leadership skills. For instance, my students look up to me as an important figure, who encourages and teaches them. In summary, not only has instructing taught me this fundamental skill, but it enlightened me into pursuing a career

Back when I was still in high school, I was in JROTC (Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps). What you do in that class is learn how to be more disciplined and how to be a better citizen. All that, mixed with military style environment such as Ex-Military Instructors, and Military Jargon. I was in an Air Force JROTC class, and once a year the whole class had a day called “Field Day.” Field Day is an all school day event where every squadron (divided up by class periods of the day), are up against each other. They are team events for a friendly competition, to see who ranks first in different areas. These events includes capture the flag (CTF), volleyball, mush ball, obstacle courses and other events of that nature. Participation in Field Day

The most positive and satifying experience that I’ve had at Clara Maass Medical Center is the one to one patient interactions. I am glad that I had the opportunity to work with patients on a personal level, by assisting them with their needs and requirements. It has truly been a fulfilling experience to work along side the nurses and get to understand everything that they do to care for patients in their most vulnerable time.

3. My field experience has influenced my perceptions of the school environment. I learned how important is it to get to know your students. The teachers learned so much about their students during sharing time, where students shared with the class important things about themselves or things going on in their lives. This helped the teachers get to know the students on an individual level and help meet their needs. I also learned how important it is to help meet the needs of all students. I saw how the teachers met the needs of all students and incorporated different ways to teach all students with different needs. Some students had different needs than others and the teachers took this into consideration during lessons. Some of their lessons

The reading the material of last week was very interesting, as it described the term “Helper” as of someone like counselor, psychotherapist, friends and family. It is so fascinating to have this type of description when it comes to counseling. The class discussion was very important as we get to see our first role play between the professor and a volunteer student, and the whole class observed their role play.

A burst of light exploded. The world seemed to go silent, then the sound caught up. It was the sound of thousands of bombs exploding at once. It was a deafening roar that seemed to shake the world all around us. There is just a great feeling when you realize that you built it. As stated in britannica.com, “The earliest sketches of flight vehicles were drawn by Leonardo da Vinci” (Encyclopædia Britannica aerospace engineering). Now it has gone to the creations of rockets and planes. People in this career get to build and test designs in laboratories, wind tunnels, and outside to make sure there are no flaws. This career is the only reason we can fly in any aircraft, and why we have satellites and have been on the moon. A aerospace engineer

My perception of Career and Technical Education has essentially only been formed over the past few years of my career as a training officer in Public Safety and as Adjunct faculty at the community college level. Over the course of a lengthy Public Safety career I have always noticed that there were two types of instructors teaching public safety classes. The cerebral book smart instructors, who had no real world experience but were fantastic at teaching from a book. They used PowerPoints like there was no tomorrow and were great at helping students pass a written test. The other type of instructor usually had no formal education on being an instructor but had been on the job for a long time and had an abundance of experience that is essential

　　　Throughout the program, my placement was set at the Abraham Friedman Occupational Center. The students were predominantly Spanish-speaking adults who immigrated from South America and Central America to downtown Los Angeles. The program was ESL Intermediate High B which integrated all language skills. Since October last year, I devoted seventy hours to observation and taught four lessons totaling five hours. Mr. Buckley, the guiding teacher, was an inspiring educator who created a variety of classroom activities that were developmentally appropriate for the adult learners.

This field experience this semester has been a rollercoaster, but fulfilling. This learning experience has allowed me to experience a full day in a school and a full day of teaching. Although sometimes it was stressful, it has been worthwhile for myself and for my students at Springfield Elementary. At the start of the semester, I was ecstatic to be placed in second grade, but by the end of the course, I was more than ready to be done with second grade. I realized that I did not like the topics covered in second grade, which made it hard for me to teach them. Nevertheless, I preserved through my doubts and dislikes, and finished my last field experience before clinical practice. Throughout this field course, I have been able to set

Currently, I am placed in a first-grade classroom at Fairview Elementary School for my field experience. I am scheduled to come every Thursday from 8:30 to 10:00 am. When I arrive most of the students have put their bags away, and are playing with toys until 8:40. Once it is time to clean up at 8:40, they all settle down to do morning work on the Smartboard until 9:00. After morning work they split off into their assigned groups, which is when I take groups of three or four students to the cafeteria to do Word Work. Word Work is a section of their day when the teacher gives me different worksheets for them to work on. The worksheets involve games that incorporate their vocabulary they are learning for the week. There are three groups that rotate coming to the cafeteria with me for twenty minutes within the hour that I am still there.

Exploring teaching and learning through the study and implementation of education psychology and what best practices to apply when teaching students to encourage them to be engaged in a positive learning experience within a safe learning enviorment.

I am a Mexican lady who came to the United States at the age 12. Therefor, my middle school and high school years were very difficult because I was not literate in English. I didn’t have a lot of support from my school and I only had the encouragement of my parents because they wanted to help me with school but they couldn’t because of the language. As a teacher, I will encounter many students that share a similar story, that are facing the same barriers, and that have similar necessities like I did. My goal is to be able to support, understand, encourage, and use a variety of resources to prepare them for college.
