- What is the most important thing you have learned during fieldwork observation? Why?
After all my fieldwork there have been many lessons that I have learned. I have done fieldwork in other classes in other semesters but this semester's fieldwork I really saw a lot of different things that opened my eyes to just how desperate kids are for knowledge. Thinking back to when I was in school I know that I always didn't think it was fun or I thought we had too much homework. But looking at it from the teachers perspective it really changed my view. I saw that teachers really do care and love their students and really want them to succeed and get the most out of their education that they can. I saw just how much teacher's put into their lessons and classrooms to make it a place that students want to be. A place where young minds can grow and can really love learning.
I think that teachers are some of the best people in the world. They can influence young people in such a powerful way that it makes me proud to have chosen this as my profession. This semester has been one of the most rewarding in the field. I have had a more hands on approach instead of just observing which has made it such a wonderful experience. I look forward to my future where I can have these young people in my care to help shape their minds and teach them that success is not hard to achieve if you just believe you can do it.
