Field Experience Report
Students will attend four VIRTUAL field trips available on the main page of Moodle. Look at last tabs.
Observe both students and teachers throughout each observation. Take notes during the visit, but make sure you do not use names of the people you observe. Read the rubric VERY CAREFULLLY and listen to the Field Experience Report Instructional PPT with voiceover before observing. Rubric is available on Moodle. You are looking for information regarding:
1) The organization (e.g., How did the organization come about? What services does the organization provide? Who takes advantage of the services provided through the organization?)
2) The teaching (What were some teaching moves you saw? Why do you believe the teacher made those decisions? How does this relate to your readings, classwork, etc.? What do you believe teachers and administrators in this organization believe about teaching all children?)
Submit a final summary report which will recap these experiences. You, as an educational researcher, will discuss the commonalities and differences between the organizations, what the teachers believe about the children and families they serve, and the services provided to children and families. In other words, what is going on in these classrooms and what services are provided to children and families. Use your textbooks, classwork, articles, and handouts/PowerPoints to provide evidence for what you see in these settings.
Please submit final papers to Moodle July 2 by midnight. (68 points)
