1. Description
a. The setting of the field experience (e.g., in a classroom, at a community organization location,
etc.).
This field experience will take place at Martin Technology Academy of Math and Science, a K-5
Magnet school in Flowery Branch, Georgia. I will be working in a fourth grade classroom
during their STEM block of time. I will support 5 students in a small group during their STEM
rotations.
b. The student(s)use a pseudonym to maintain confidentialitywith whom you are working (e.g.
age, grade level, level of English Proficiency, personal characteristics based on
observations/interactions, other information that may give the reader a more in-depth description
of the student)

c. The days and times that you met with the student.
I met with this group of students daily during their STEM block and supported their Simple
Machines unit of study
i. October 17th 21st daily from 10:45 11:15
ii. October 24th 28th daily from 10:45 11:15
d. Ways in which you interacted/engaged with the student (including pedagogical strategies).
When working with these students in their Simple Machines unit of study, I would pull them in a
small group within the classroom while other students were also working in groups with the
teacher or independently. I worked on previewing vocabulary that the teacher provided me and
would be working with the following day(s), differentiating the non-fiction reading for the
students, and providing them opportunities to practice with any new material that had been
learned prior to my arrival that day.

You are required to use 2-3 ELL-specific resources to help inform your understanding of ELLs and
increase your pedagogical strategies to assist students who are English Language Learners (ELLs). You
may use the resources listed within the module or other resources available to you. Briefly describe how
the resources were used to assist in your experience.
