Secondary Field Experience at Falcon Creek Middle School

My field experience was at Falcon Creek Middle School with Jill Wood.

What in particular did you like?

I began my experience feeling very uncomfortable with middle school students and middle school in general. About half way through the experience I began to loosen up and feel at ease. I didn't feel like I was an intruder, I began to feel as though I belonged in the space.

My elementary students go to this middle…

Field Experience - Ranch View Middle School

I had a great experience at Ranch View Middle School in Douglas County. Becky Myers is the librarian there and she runs a great program. I loved how busy the library is throughout the day with not only several classes a day coming in to check out books, work in the labs, and just students coming in to…

Field Experience at Arvada West High

I completed my field experience at Arvada West High School with teacher librarian, Susie Lackey. I loved the entire experience at this Power Library.

Surprisingly, I found the high school students very respectful and accepting of me. It was such a refreshing change from working with elementary students, the high school students work so… Continue

Secondary Field Experience at Horizon High School

I just completed my secondary field experience at Horizon High School with Sara Poinier. This school has over 1800 students with one certified librarian and one aide. It is a power library for school district Adams 12.

What in particular did you like?

I loved the collaborative atmosphere of this school. Teachers don’t have a classroom, they move from class to class. They have a central office where their desk is located. This encourages…

Buena Vista Elementary School Field Experience

I completed my field study at Buena Vista Elementary School, a public Montessori program. I loved seeing the engagement and excitement of the students. I had never worked with elementary kids before so this was an eye opening experience! I loved reading out loud to this age group and helping them find books. They are eager and excited in all they do, so it was a true pleasure to be a part of that. I have never read aloud to a group of kids who were so…
