Field Experience

Throughout my education at DSU I have been on many field experiences In Madison. Some of the classrooms or
lessons for Elementary Education that I have taken part in were: teaching reading lessons to kindergartners,
teaching a lesson to fourth graders about the Arrows Data Center. I also helped with the field trip to Arrows
Data Center. I have given DIBELS tests to Kindergarten 2nd grade. I have given 4th graders Bader reading tests.
For Special Education I have worked with a patient at ECCO and observed students with behavior problems. I
completed my level IIIs at Tri-Valley where I observed a third grade class. I also prepared and taught 5 different
lessons during the two weeks. In Tea I taught and produced a teacher work sample over a science unit in first
grade.

I believe that as educators its our job to always be professional.

I am always learning in and outside of the classroom.
One of the theorists I agree with is Bandura; it is important to have a positive role model.
Classroom management and structure are very important.
It is important to be aware of individual students needs.
