Explain the most challenging part during your field experience.
The most challenging part during my field experience was trying to get all the numerous assignments completed throughout field and not just leaving it until the last minute right before its due. Sadly even though I was able to stay pretty on top of things I still left the assignments for creative arts to the last minute. I think if I am ever going to be an effective teacher I am gonna have to get better at getting things done earlier than required of me. Through all the stresses of getting assignments done I still had a wonderful time while in field.
Explain your greatest success during your field experience.
My greatest success during my field experience would have to be the timing... When we taught our lessons it seemed as though we were over planning to the extreme but then when it came down to it we were perfect on the timing. Especially when our observer came for the first time, we were so so worried about getting through everything in 25 minutes and surprisingly we did just that fantastically. We said the last thing we wanted to say and bam the bell rang.
What recommendations would you make to others based on your field experience?
The only recommendation I would make to others based on my field experience would have to be "just get it done now" meaning that instead of putting things off until the week before the end of field instead you should get started on everything that is gonna be due, on the first week of field.
You were an awesome partner Piper! I agree that we did well with our timing, i was super excited about that as well. I also think we did a good job at using variation, we did a whole bunch of different activities and types of lessons which all went well. I am having a hard time getting everything done as well! I couldn't believe how much was due for each class the week we got back from field. Luckily I got most of it done, but now that we are back I have tons of assignments to add to my to do list again!
ReplyDeleteI need to work on getting things done when they are assigned! I also put off the creative arts assignments until the last minute and now I have a ton of homework to do! It seems easier in the moment but then when you actually have to do it, the procrastination is not worth it! I'm glad you had a fun field experience!
