I have had the best field work experience in Mrs. Befer's class! She actually impliments all of the concepts we are learning about into her teaching. She assesses children's prior knowledge and asks engaging questions. She shows rather than tells the students about the concepts they are learning. She encourages them to use inquiry and ask their own questions!
I worked one on one with a student named Will. Will was the most out-side-the-box thinker I have ever met. He was always coming up with crazy ideas and at first I tried to discouraging him from trying things that I knew wouldn't work but fortunately he never listened to me! He was able to discover things on his own. He came to his own conclusions through his process of trial and error. He really showed me how students' minds work and how to encourage them to explore for themselves.
