Analysis of the Field Internship Experience and PhilosophyPart I: Relevant Contextual InformationPart II: Teacher Perspective and Approach to the Social Curriculum and Social StudiesPart III: Reflection about my field internship experience Part I: Relevant Contextual Information : The small town of L is located in central New York. In 2010 the population of L was 4,952 people. This city is considered suburban and rural. It's suburban because it's about 15 miles from a major city. It is rural because most of the city is made up of agricultural land. There are three major US highways that pass through the city of L. The class status of the city of L varies from middle-class to working-class families. From what I observed in school, the middle-class residents of this town own farms, work in agriculture, or commute to the nearby town for work. Some working-class families belong to the area's Native American tribe. There are three schools in the City L School District: G Elementary School, Junior/Senior High School, and Native American Culture School. During the 2011-2012 school year, the L City School District served a total of 858 students. In the same school year, 35% of students were eligible for free and reduced lunch. Additionally, 67% of the students were white and 30% were Native American. Additionally, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian/Native Hawaiian, or Other Pacific Islander students were 1% each. G. Elementary School educates students in grades K-6. During the 2011-2012 school year, the school had a total of 366 students enrolled. Thirty percent of the 366 students were eligible for free and reduced lunch. Additionally, 81% of students were…halfway…the future. This will ultimately develop students who have self-control and are empathetic citizens. Through my experience, I have learned that teaching is a profession that requires passion, courage, love and pleasure in learning. If the teacher emulates these qualities, he or she can change the world one student at a time. References: Butchart, R. and McEwan, B. (eds.). (1998).
