Pictures taken at the school I was placed in while I was in Liverpool, England.
One of the most powerful and wonderful teaching experiences that I have had during my time at Hope College was the opportunity to spend two weeks in an elementary school in Liverpool, England. I was placed in a Year Five classroom which is equivalent to a fourth-grade classroom in the United States (US). During this experience, I was able to plan and teach a lesson about different things to do in the United States to my students. The group of us that were at Northway Primary School were able to lead an assembly where we taught the whole school about the different regions in the US. While I was in my field placement I was able to learn about the education system in England and how it is different and similar to ours. This experience opened my eyes and reaffirmed my passion to teach anyone and everyone.
