Practicum I: Aberdeen Elementary

  • October-December 2021
  • This practicum was mostly observation and included seven full school days in a Grade 7 class. In this practicum, I taught four ELA lessons and worked alongside the Grade 7 teacher in individual student support, whole class discussion, and group work.

Practicum II: St. Ann’s Academy

  • April 2022
  • This practicum I spent two weeks in a Kindergarten class. In this practicum I taught a Science and a Math unit. I spent most of the time practicing classroom management skills and proper lesson closures.

Practicum III: Kamloops Christian School

  • September 2022
  • This practicum I spent the first three weeks in a Grade 6 class, plus the week before spending time in IEP meetings, all staff meetings, and individual meetings with my teacher mentor. This practicum involved building relationships and good rapport with the students and looking at how the classroom teacher spent the first few weeks setting up her classroom.

Practicum IV: Kamloops Christian School

  • January-March 2023
  • This practicum I returned to my class from Practicum III and taught there for 10 weeks. By week 5, I was teaching full time. This practicum involved teaching a full course load, being involved in assessment, attending staff meetings and devotions, and collaborating with multiple teachers.
