Creating success during your Field Experience part 1

I don't know if you feel this way yet, but these Field Experiences that you are about to begin are incredibly fun. You will be learning so much, re-evaluating and possibly tweaking your philosophy of education and meeting kids on a level that you probably haven't had the opportunity to do so before. There is a lot of trust given to teachers by students, especially at the younger stages of education. That trust is incredibly precious, and should be nurtured and cherished. There will be many people that let down our youth, but I hope that you - as the new teachers entering the vocation - aren't one of them. When you step into your field experience remember that you will leave an impression and imprint on your students, and that you are creating not just a learning experience, but an impact on their experiences.


As an evaluator, I have to look for specific competencies and develop a narrative of your experience.
