1. I completed a total of 10 field experience hours.
2. I spent my time during my field experience interviewing my school's librarian, implementing a lesson while being observed by a colleague, and observing a veteran 8th grade reading/literature teacher.
3. I truly value my field experience because it is a time when I can reflect as an educator. The field experience allows me to "...reflect on and evaluate teaching and learning," as stated in Standard 7 of the Kentucky Teacher Standards. I am given the opportunity to work with my colleagues to evaluate my performance so that I can give my students the best of what I have to offer them.
4. Perhaps the most important thing I learned from my field experience is the importance of self-evaluation. Without the act of reflection, I cannot learn from my mistakes or missteps in the classroom. As I tell my students often, it is okay to make mistakes but it is not okay to repeat them. I learn from the mistakes I make and that it what I learned most from my time observing, implementing, and interviewing educators.
