Despite students possessing a variety of needs and learning styles, the education system was designed for a “one-size-fits-all” in an attempt to meet every child’s needs and abilities.

My field experience started in a third grade classroom at Gocio elementary school. I went to the classroom four times throughout the semester, and I plan to go back even after. By going to the school both for a full day and for only few hours of a day, I was able to get a picture of the everyday school life of these 3rd graders. Throughout my observation and assistance to the teacher I have not only grown in my philosophy of education, but have put reasons and experience behind my philosophy as well
For my second reflection on my observation time, I want to start by saying that the experience so far has been enlightening, exciting, and motivating. Although I aspire to teach at this grade level myself, this is the first time that have been able to officially observe a class at the 5th grade level.

I had been aware of a sense of physical exhaustion, sniffling and coughing through the past 3 weeks, experiencing a lack of sleep and balancing placement with planning, reflecting and coursework, however I had not expected my mind to be in overdrive once my practicum had ended. Being based in Queensland and completing my practicum in Victoria, I was of course expecting to feel excited about returning
In my time as a student at Winthrop University, there have been numerous experiences that have molded me into the future educator that I hope to become. Some of the greatest experiences that have helped shape me are my class time in CRTW 201, my class time in EDUC 220, and my time teaching private lessons with the Clover High School Band Program. Each of these experiences has played a large role in helping me become the teacher I am today and the teacher that I aspire to be. The first experience
professional appearance and attitude, I rated myself as good. I was dressed appropriately wearing khakis, a ¾ sweater, and flats. My hair was neatly fixed as well as my makeup. My attitude was also professional. The teacher gave control of the classroom over to me, and I believe that I fulfilled my role as the teacher.
