How To Write A Field Experience Report

During my field experience at Ridge Elementary school, I was placed in a 4th-grade classroom. While working on my field experience I had gotten the luxury to connect and bond with several types of student’s from various backgrounds and demographics. When I first stepped foot into the fourth-grade classroom it was very well decorated with quotes, educational tips, and motivational messages. There were three windows in which the students often gazed out while working. The walls were an eggshell color which was kind of depressing. Adding color to the walls would have made the environment feel a little more joyful yet the students still made that classroom their second home by decorating their desks.

During the months of September and October this semester I spent time at two different schools in four different classrooms. Being able to observe different classes and teachers at Westside Junior High and South Live Oak Elementary was a very new and exciting experience for me since I can’t say I’ve always wanted to be a teacher. My experiences at these schools gave me a better insight into the differences between schools, classrooms, and teachers. The purpose of this field experience was to get 10 observation or tutoring hours in an elementary or junior high setting. I chose to observe a

Field Education starts off with having some responsibilities in training to perfect your ministries. You must first learn what ministry would best suit you. Never assumed you can do all things by yourself. Every position is not done by one person, sometimes it take personal to work it. Training is so essential to every aspect as you must know what to do. Choosing the correct field to go into and set up your goals that you want to work in. Make sure you are learning in your field. My professor told for me to pick three ministries that I would like to work in. I first look at myself and my ability to do the things I know I can perform.

I have been working with the Coweta County School System since August of 2000. I began as a paraprofessional working with students with Autism through the Emory Autism Program. I enjoyed working with special needs students so much that I entered the TAPP program to obtain my teaching certificate. I began working at East Coweta Middle School in the fall of 2002 and am still currently working there as an interrelated special education teacher. I have taught resource, collaborative, and co-teach classes. I have even had one year where I worked one-on-one with a student that required specialized instruction.

I had the pleasure of meeting Devyn in November 2015. I asked whether he was able to be interviewed by me, and he agreed. Devyn has worked in the Therapeutic Recreation field for 20 years.

Six years ago, my life was changed forever. It was the summer leading into the sixth grade, and my mom asked me if I would like to help at a summer camp for special needs people. Honestly, I knew that I would be working at this camp no matter what my answer might have been. As I anticipated the first day of the week long event, I grew anxious; I was frightened by the unknown. Even though I've lived with someone with disabilities my whole life, my ten year old mind had no clue what the campers themselves be like. Despite my fears, this short five day week was one I would never forget.

To be able to work with so many children every day, each with a different disability has to take a lot of creativity and problem solving. I remember going to her office when I was younger, and wanting to be just like her. Now I have the opportunity to do something very similar. I haven’t yet decided what age group of people I would want to work with in the future, but I have a feeling it would be children from birth to three. My mom has even helped me build some connections, helping me set up a day to shadow one of the few speech therapists that worked in her office in Temple. After following Morgan, the speech therapist, for the day I realized how much patience and time her and my mom put into their jobs. I had forgotten about all of the nights my mom had come home from work still typing reports on her computer. Working with children and their families can take up time in your personal life, not just your professional

My work experience in special education started as an instructional assistant at a non-public school in Santa Cruz for students with moderate to

Thank you for the opportunity to work one-on-one with special needs students expanding my teaching experience and knowledge. I have very much enjoyed being a part of the Oakleigh Elementary School team.

Introduction In the fall of 2017, I was assigned my first field experience as a student in the college of education at The University of North Georgia. My opportunity to spend 20 hours observing and assisting in a fourth grade math class in a public school setting allowed me to see firsthand the implications of my coursework and readings in Education 2130. Through observing and supporting the teacher by conducting small group re-teaching sessions, I was able to more deeply understand topics including student motivation, assessment and evaluation, learning styles and techniques of instruction including direct instruction and student-centered approaches. Field Experience

I conducted my field experience through the Forsyth County School System in conjunction with the Forsyth County Parks and Recreational Department. The students or “campers” as we like to call them are comprised of two groups. One group is special needs students ranging from ages six to twelve. The second group ranges from ages thirteen to twenty and are also special needs students. The younger campers attend classes from 8:30-1:00 and the older students attend from 1:30-5:00.

Carnes who informed me of what it is like raising her son who has cerebral palsy and how the educational system worked with him over the years. Hearing what Ms. Carnes had to say about her experiences helped to give me a better understanding of what these parents have to go through, and it can give me an advantage if I have to work with parents who have children with disabilities. Because of her surprise at how much work the educational system is putting into training their new teachers, it created a high point in the interview, and I had a sense of pride in knowing that I am being trained to the best of my abilities. What truly surprised me is how much patience these parents have to have to raise a child with disabilities. To conclude, this interview made me slightly nervous over the amount of responsibilities I will have, but this course has helped me become infinitely more

Throughout my junior year of high school, I was an aid in a classroom with an extraordinary environment, the Work Experience class for students with mental disabilities at Pinnacle High School. To have the rare chance to act as a role model for this class as well as, to be involved with the students is an experience I will always appreciate. For this reason, my work as an aid was the most eye-opening opportunity for me and helped me ascertain an exceptional insight into who I am as a person and the outlook of my future.

My first day of observations had finally arrived. Filled with excitement, I opened the doors to Pleasant Ridge Elementary School, and walked into the front office to sign in as a guest for the day. I made my way to the second grade wing to do my first observation for my field experience report. The second grade instructor greeted me as I entered her classroom, with a big bright smile I found made her classroom warm and inviting.

I observed and analyzed the design and delivery of an instructional unit in a Montessori school setting. I observed a classroom of grades 1-3 two times from 9 a.m. – 11 a.m. at the Kennebec Montessori school. I was asked to sit quietly and to not interact with the children so I could get a realistic view of the class day and the children would pursue their chosen work.
