PRACTICUM EXPERIENCE
Eastbrook Elementary School
Mentor Teacher: Janessa Connor
2017
In my last practicum placement I had the privilege to work in Janessa Connor’s Grade
Four classroom at Eastbrook Elementary School. During my time there I took over 100
percent of Janessa Connor’s classroom duties and school obligations. My classroom
consisted of 21 very unique students who seemed to always keep me on my toes. I did

face some challenges, but every opportunity that arose I saw as a chance to grow. As a
result I became proficient with my classroom management, lesson planning, and student
repertoire. I pride myself when saying that I was always there for my students no matter
what they were in need of, whether that be extra help after school or emotional
support.

This practicum placement gave me the opportunity to have the chance to work with my
fellow Grade Four teachers in planning and organizing whole units and classroom
activities. During my time at Eastbrook Elementary School I helped with many
extracurricular activities, such as the craft club or the floor hockey tournament. This
school gave me the opportunity to really build upon my professional relationships and
embraced teamwork.

Crestwood Elementary School, Medicine Hat AB 2015


Mentor Teacher: Erica Diakow

During my time at Crestwood Elementary in Grade Two I was in charge of planning a


minimum of 50 percent but by the end of my placement I was teaching for the
majority of the time. The school environment at Crestwood Elementary was one of
the most welcoming I have ever been privileged to be a part of. Even though I was
only there for a short period of time the staff members made me feel as if I was a
part of the team. My classroom consisted of 23 children. Within the 23 there was one
on the spectrum, two with learning difficulties, and almost half with family/home
issues and many with disciplinary problems. Due to the many different types of
students in the classroom I helped facilitate very structured learning environment.

I tried my best to always get involved with any extra-curricular activities. One that I
found very interesting was the construction of the school Christmas concert. While
participating in this I helped a team with decorations, planning, and practices.

River Heights, Medicine Hat AB 2015


During my time at River Heights Elementary school I got the opportunity to practice
my literacy reading assessment. I was able to focus directly on a student and give
feedback for the appropriate action to take. This practicum was very beneficial in
fine finishing my testing skills.

Elm Street Elementary School


Mentor Teacher: Sue Nelson 2014
This practicum at Elm Street Elementary School was an interesting experience that I
had the opportunity to be a part of. This placement was focused on an art project
where I worked with two of my fellow student teachers. We made a mural on the
ceiling of the classroom focusing on plant growth. This practicum although short was
an experience that I will never forget.
