children during my field experience. The educational psychology theories and practices opened my eyes to concepts I could identify with at my field experience site. The 20 hours of field experience impacted me in a positive way - intensifying my desire to become a teacher. Mentoring and observing students altered my perception and gave me a better understanding of a teacher’s role in the classroom. It was a necessary task that all educational majors should do.

At first, I was excited that I was given the chance to register for the psychology practicum course and find a placement with a school psychologist, which is the field I plan to go into. Now that it is time to start completing my hours of field experience, I am not only excited, but also nervous, and scared all at the same time. Excitement in the fact that I get to see what it is like to be a school psychologist in a middle school, compared to just reading or hearing about it. Yet, I am scared and
When I learned field experience was a requirement for the Foundations of Education Class, I was quite nervous because I did not feel prepared to go into a classroom at that time. I felt that if were to go into a classroom, I would have no idea what to expect and I had wanted to learn more about being a teacher prior to going into a classroom. However, once I was told I could go to an organization such as Hephzibah, I immediately knew I would want to volunteer there. Hephzibah is an afterschool daycare
On most Tuesdays, freshman Amanda Moeller tries to wake up around 5 AM to have a decent breakfast, study her scriptures, and get ready for her first class. December 5, however, didn’t start out quite as she planned it. With the time reading 6:10 AM on her alarm clock, Moeller had to forgo her typical schedule just to make it to class on time. And despite having less time, she still managed to arrive 10 minutes early to her 7:45 Mission Prep class. Moeller parked in the Kimball Lot and embarked on
Introduction During my time during my Education 2130 class, I got to get actual experience in the field as part of my grade in the class. Instead of getting my hours at one of the three places we were given an option to, I requested to do my hours at my job where I work one on one with kids all day long. It was great to be able to get my hours somewhere that I was acquainted with and somewhere that I knew the kids. In my paper, I will go into detail about my field site and talk about what kind of
I think my situation is little special than another students, but I still want to talk about my field experience by video. You helped me a lot in my situation, I know field experience is very important, it can give me real experience to observe to students, and teacher when they are working in class. You created a great assignment for me. I can find any videos follow topics, and it also helps me to learn an experience in class room. I do not say this assignment is too much, but I will try to finish
My field experience assignment is an SLC or Structured Learning Center self contained unit at the United High School 9th grade campus. The students in this particular classroom are all students with Autism and they are all boys between the ages of 14 to 15 years old. Their learning goals vary and are very different from those of the students in the general education population; therefore, their assessments are going to be different as well. The main goals for our students include learning daily
During my field experience class this past Fall semester, as I observed a class of 4th graders at George Washington Carver Elementary, I had the opportunity to sit in as the students spent some time in the library with the school librarian, Mrs. Williams. Although I was technically there to observe the regular classroom teacher, the brief amount of time I spent in the library was inspiring to say the least. I watched as the students excitedly told Mrs. Williams and their peers about the books they
This I Believe Is Determination When I turned 38-years-old I wanted to make a change in my life. I was tired of working jobs that had me living from paycheck to paycheck. The only option I saw was to return to school to get some sort of formal training. I did not want to spend years in college, so I decided to go to a trade school. After some research, I became intrigued with the field of cosmetology. I liked the possibility of someday going into business for myself. I went for an orientation at
