In December, I will be graduating with a Bachelor of Education (Elementary) degree from the University of Calgary with a focus in teaching French as a second language. My thirteen week field experience was unique. I had placements at two different schools. At my first placement, I had the opportunity to observe kindergarten through grade five. I taught extensively at the kindergarten and grade 1 levels. I also had the chance to teach FSL to grades three, four and five students. My second placement was at a division one school where I spent the mornings in a grade 1 classroom and had the privilege of teaching in a Special Education classroom during the afternoons. There, I taught individual groups of students at their relevant educational capacities. At both schools, I participated in school activities, joined and created student clubs, organized a successful school wide activity and took part in various professional development day workshops. I have had many years of experience working with children of all ages, most of which have been volunteer opportunities as outlined in my resume. These opportunities have helped me to further develop my management and organizational skills. They have also allowed me the opportunities to teach children in various living and working conditions. In order to promote my language learning, I spent two summers in the Province of Quebec where I participated in a French Immersion Language Bursary Program. There, I took university level French courses and had an opportunity to associate with the Francophone community and culture. In the future, I hope to volunteer my time to teach children in developing countries. I am also interested in helping to develop relevant material and curricula for division one school children. If further information is required I can be contacted at 222-1111. Thank you for your time and consideration. I am looking forward to hearing from you and commencing my teaching career. With great enthusiasm, Fiona Pilone |
