The rewarding experience and the excitement of the students we work with!

# data[].attributes.body
No. While I think working with international students at Brock would be beneficial and an experience, I believe working with elementary school children aligns better with my future occupation as a junior/intermediate educator

Working with students in the school system and having my first placement

The best part of participating in this course was being able to work with elementary students!

# data[].attributes.body
Being able to apply relevant learning from lectures to a placement where we are supported as inexperienced teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Hands-on experience and working one-on-one with different students

# data[].attributes.body
I think the best part of this course was working with students in a school and gaining experience as a teacher

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, although I believe I would have further benefitted if my students showed up more often:(

# data[].attributes.body
I found that this is one of the only courses that I have taken that actually prepared me for my future teaching and gave me an experience rather than only lessons

# data[].attributes.body
Getting to work with students and learn about their interests.

# data[].attributes.body
As a P/J stream student, I enjoyed working with grade-level students in elementary schools and gained relevant knowledge for my future career. I believe I would not have gained the same experience if I had worked with international students at Brock.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. It gave me the experience of what it would be like to actually be in school. Not everything was perfect, and that's the reality. It was a good experience to have before starting teachers college in the fall

# data[].attributes.body
No I would not have preferred to complete my facilitations with international students at Brock. I enjoyed and believe it is more beneficial to work with students that are in the realm of our program (elementary).

# data[].attributes.body
No. I think working with children was a great opportunity to learn what it will truly be like in our future careers.

# data[].attributes.body
no, since most people would like to work with elementary school in the future i do not think working with brock students would have prepared us as well

# data[].attributes.body
The ability to go into schools and work one on one with the students and being able to devlop those relationships.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, the practicum delivered a great experience. However, I wish we were able to have more than 4 practicums as I think I would have benefited from it.

# data[].attributes.body
The best part of participating in this course was watching the students grow in language acquisition and become more confident each week.

# data[].attributes.body
The best part of this course was being able to have a hands-on placement working with students and gaining experience in the field of education.

# data[].attributes.body
Working one on one with students and providing us with experience that could be extremely beneficial for the future.

# data[].attributes.body
The experience of working in an elementary school was rewarding, and applying the course material to use.

The best part was to help students with language and being able to know that we are helping kids within the community!

Provide more lesson plan options! Some of them felt limiting and aligned with younger students. I had older students, and some of the activities felt "childish" and about things they were not necessarily interested in.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I preferred working with students in an elementary school setting as it felt more relevant to my future career.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. However, I believe more sessions would have benefited me better

# data[].attributes.body
Yes! I expected to gain experience with ELL students to inform my future practice to be inclusive and meaningful to all students, and this is what I got.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes! for me personally I believe it was exactly what I expected. Very fun, challenging but rewarding as well. Provided me with valuable skills I will take with my into my future classroom. Also gave us an opportunity to work within the school and teaching professionally.

# data[].attributes.body
No. As a ConEd student, I believe that it was much more beneficial to gain experience working with school aged students, rather than adult learners.

# data[].attributes.body
The best part of this course was being able to make connections within a school in Niagara. I loved being able to help make a difference in the students lives. There are a lot of ELL in the school I was at which can make one on one time for the MRC difficult so I'm glad I could help out

# data[].attributes.body
It did deliver the experience I was hoping for, as the in-school placements were a great learning experience and, as a future teacher, I felt as though this experience taught me much more than anything in-class would have.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes and no. I enjoyed the practicum experience as it provided a small taste of what teacher's college will be like. I would've enjoyed it more with a bit more support from my MRC.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, it allowed me to get a better understanding of what it is like in the school setting. I was able to see all the choas, the good, the bad, etc. I do also think that if there were more session include, rather than just 4, it would have been more benefical to my teaching and the students learning

# data[].attributes.body
The facilitation practicum was an amazing experience. It challenged me as a future teacher and helped me develop skills to create personalized lesson plans.

# data[].attributes.body
the best part about participating in this course was seeing how excited and happy the students were each week to learn new skills and have fun

# data[].attributes.body
The placement with students. I believe that placement-based courses are the best courses to prepare me to become a future educator as I gain hands-on relevant experience

# data[].attributes.body
By providing simpler options for lesson plans for beginner students. Also more online resources, such as games that are simple for ELL STEP 1 students

# data[].attributes.body
I believe that working with schoolchildren over international students was the right choice, as we will be teaching kids in their general age range, and not international students, so it prepared us better for the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not think working with brock international students would be as beneficial as I want to work with younger students, and working in the schools aligns better with my future professional practice

# data[].attributes.body
No. I appreciated the opportunity to work with j/i students, and it was great to make connections in another school.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that the facilitations and reflections afterwards. As education students, we will be doing lots of reflecting and it really does help guide our future practice

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed working with grade school aged students as it aligns better with my future goals and the content of the course seems to align better with that age group.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that working with elementary students was perfect as it aligns with who I will be teaching in the future

# data[].attributes.body
Yes it did, it allowed me to have more experience in schools which is always the most helpful as an education student.

# data[].attributes.body
More flexibility with the lesson plans. Sometimes I would have liked to modify the lesson plan more to the needs/wants of my students rather than what was provided.

# data[].attributes.body
As a future elementary school teacher, I would not have preferred to complete my facilitations with international students at Brock. Working with elementary school students provided me with useful experience working with this age group.

# data[].attributes.body
Working with students and being able to build a connection with them through this experience

# data[].attributes.body
Too many reading books, my students learned more through games as there was more repetition. The games were also more engaging

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, but I feel that I would of liked spending more time with them and having longer time to truly get to know them

# data[].attributes.body
No. I do think it completing the facilitation with Brock students would have provided me with a completely different expereince, I feel like younger children are the ones who need more practice than students in University. Most international students have some background knowledge in English if they are coming to study in Canada. Young children on the other hand, do not get much practice with English so I feel as though it is more benefical and practical to work with young children

# data[].attributes.body
Providing more flexible and different lesson plans as with older students, the activities felt very childish and resulted in a lack of engagement from the student, being uninterested and embarrassed.

# data[].attributes.body
Working with students and watching their confidence - and mine grow.

# data[].attributes.body
Lesson plan templates that work for a variety of levels. Or just a template that is more open-ended.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I really enjoyed working with students in the school as I want to help younger students learn English and it was a good way to get into schools for my future career

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, this experience delivered the best experience for me. My students were very eager to learn and grow which made my job that much easier. I do believe that more than 4 sessions would be more beneficial as it takes some students more time to feel comfortable, and by the time some of them opened up our time together was over.

# data[].attributes.body
I felt a little unprepared the first and second week, but by the 3rd and 4th week i felt like I was getting the experience required to enhance my learning.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that providing more lesson plan templates would be useful.

# data[].attributes.body
Providing more lessons or being able to customize lessons a little more for the students as some lessons were not exciting for some students

# data[].attributes.body
I wish there was more flexibility with the lesson plans so that we can meet our students needs better.

# data[].attributes.body
As a student in P/J, I feel like no. Working with students around the same age for when I'll become a future educator is really important as it gave me good insight on what teaching will be like in the future

# data[].attributes.body
The best part was watching the students I was working with grow and develop new skills. I also loved making more connections with educators in the DSBN.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that providing a different range of lesson plans would be better

# data[].attributes.body
The best part of participating in this course was being able to actively engagement with members of the Niagara school community! It allowed me to grow and learn not only as a future educator, but as an professional!

# data[].attributes.body
Less reading and more games. Students enjoyed and learned more from the games rather than just reading.

More lesson plan options

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I found that the facilitation was everything I hoped it would be. I had great students and a great MRC. I found that I learned a lot and that my students did too!

# data[].attributes.headline
The placement was a great way to take the knowledge that I've accumulated in my degree and use it in a practical way. That real school experience is very valuable.

I personally enjoyed working with ELL students in elementary schools since I am in the junior intermediate stream and feel this is most applicable to the age range of students I hope to teach in the future. I can understand how some people may prefer to work with international students at Brock however.

No, I think that as most of us are in school to work with children and our courses have been teaching us how to work with kids, this course allowed us real-life experience for our future practice.

I feel like to some extent the facilitation practicum delivered the experience I was hoping for. I had a great time with my students! But, there was poor aspects of it!

# data[].attributes.body
No. I believe I benefitted more while completing my facilitation with P/J students as someone in the P/J stream. I also got to experience a school setting, classroom and make connections in the school board.

The lesson plans that were provided could be more flexible or creative. Many of the suggested activities do not work well in practice with students who do not know any English at all, or even with students who are older than 10 years old.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes. I learned so much about being flexible, teaching students of various needs and I got placement experience.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it was great completing my placement with school-age students! However, it would be interesting to work with international students and provide a whole new different spin on this course!

# data[].attributes.body
Have more sessions and possible check-in meetings between the professor and the supervisor!
