Schlesserfieldexperience

The document describes 4 practicum experiences for a student teacher. The first was their very first experience observing two 7th grade science classes with varying abilities. They felt they learned the most in the class with more students having IEPs. The second was more observation focused in the same 7th grade science class. The third was in a 1st grade classroom where they observed for 5 hours and then taught two small lessons. The final experience was in a 2nd grade special education classroom where they observed and focused on one student with an IEP.

This was my very first


practicum in the classroom. I
would observe two different
classes here. The one class
that I was in mostly was the
children that had average IQ
and were proficient in science.
All though depending on the
day that I would visit, I would
be in a class with far more
IEPs which actually accounted
for almost the entire class. I
felt that I had way more
experience and learning
involved when the IEP class
was in there. Schamber was
much more involved and I
would get to see how the
differentiated instruction would
take place with these students.
By the end of this practicum I
was very hands on with the
class and would help out with
any assignments or labs as
needed.
This also took place with Ms.
Schamber. This was much
more observation and taking
notes then my first time with
her. Dr. K who was my
professor at the time had
many more things that I would
need to fill out, this class was
solely an observation,
therefore it was not as fun as
the first time around, but I did
gather a lot of information and
knowledge from just watching
Ms. Schamber deal with the
children.
This was by far the most into a
classroom. The first 5 hours of
the practicum were
observation. The final 3 were
broken down into a read aloud

lesson, a small group lesson


and an interview with Ms.
Merager herself. I really
learned about a lot of stuff
from just watching and talking
to her throughout my time
spent there. Also this was the
first time I had actually taught
a real life lesson to children
that were in the classroom.
Talk about nerve wracking! I
feel that doing this two lessons
really taught me a lot and
allowed me to see what I need
to work on in the short time I
have left before I go out into
the real teaching world.
This was a strange practicum,
considering I am not a SPED
major. I did gain a lot of insight
though. Spent most of the time
observing the class, I was also
assigned a child with an IEP
that I took careful observation
of. It gave me some insight
into a special education
teacher, that without I would
have not fully understood. I
also did teach a very small
mini lesson that had to do with
math to these second graders,
which went surprisingly well
