During this time, I have had field experience with three area schools. Here is an idea of the role I served while keeping the name of the school anonymous. Course: “Psychology of Instruction for Teaching and Learning” I completed 50 hours of field experience with a 2nd grade class of a local Elementary School where all students receive free breakfast and lunch. School has an approximate enrollment of 200 students for grades K-5. My role was in part to observe behavior and learning to compare to findings of leading developmental theorists including but not limited to Vygotsky and Piaget. I also led science lessons where students classified animals, helped with one-on-one reading activities, and also assisted with math skills in between other tasks as time permitted. Course: “Advanced Instructional Techniques”: 50 hours divided between 2 high schools High School #1: I completed 25 hours of observation and instruction at a local high school where all students receive free breakfast and lunch, with an approximate enrollment of 800+ students per day. I created, designed and led a lesson for a Forensics class about Shoe Impressions. I also taught an Earth Science lesson for a different group of students based on their textbook for plate tectonics, volcanoes and tsunami’s. I did research and made a power-point presentation with animations to show shifting of plates, formation of volcanoes and mountain ranges, etc. High School #2: I completed 25 hours of field experience at a local Catholic High School with an approximate enrollment of 300 students, most coming from middle and upper middle class socioeconomic homes. I led a lab exercise for DNA extraction from wheat germ with this group which was a success. I also created and led an exercise where students created a model of DNA in small groups that depicted transcription and translation. The final lesson was in the form of a Web-Quest (that I located and cleared with the teacher in advance) about DNA and protein synthesis. I have been an Assistant Paramedic Instructor for Summa Health System/Paramedic Education since 2006. This is an adult education setting where I am responsible for all instruction and testing related to the Anatomy and Physiology portion of the education experience those seeking Paramedic Certification, I also teach hands-on skill labs including IV insertion, cardiology, patient assessment, obgyn, pediatrics etc. Served as a judge for the Akron Public School District’s Annual Science Fair in January, 2011 where I judged Middle and High School exhibits with a teacher/friend from the Akron Public School District.
