This week we had a practicing Elementary art teacher visit my ARTED 308 classroom, Jennifer Dahl, who also happens to be my cooperating teacher for my Practicum experience. I felt that it was very beneficial for us to have her come into our class and give us tips and advice for when we finally become art educators!
This meeting was especially beneficial to me because I was able to get to know about her as a teacher and information about her school and her students. I was very humbled by hearing how committed she is to achieving success for her students, so much so that she drives over an hour every day to teach at Black River Falls, and is divided between three elementary schools! During my ARTED 208 Practicum, there we several times where I was questioning whether or not I belonged in Art Education. After listening to Mrs. Dahl's advice and working with her and her students during Practicum, I have realized that this career field is truly where I am meant to be.
