In the fall of 2011 I completed my first field experience at Broughal Middle School. I was assigned to Mr. Miller’s 6^th grade ESL and Language Arts classes. During my time at Broughal, I worked closely with students and observed their learning habits. It was a great experience to work with younger students who are learning English as a second language. The wide variety of diverse learners helped me better understand that each student is unique and their own individual.

In the fall and winter of 2011-2012 I did tutoring at Calypso Elementary School in the Bethlehem School District. This was also a program run through America Reads and generally the same concept as what I did at Lincoln. I went to this school only after school and it was basically a homework club. The students would work on homework for one hour and then we would have a 15-minute activity period. It continued to help me with my tutoring skills.

In the fall of 2012 I did my most recent field experience at East Hills Middle School. I have moved to the 2^nd stage of tutoring. I am tutoring in Ms. Amato’s learning support class. I sit in with learners with disabilities during Math, Science, and Social Studies periods. I have led multiple classroom lessons during my time at East Hills. I am finally getting the opportunity to put all the strategies I have been learning over the past three years into the classroom as the lead teacher.
