riverside middle school

Part of the ILEP program is to complete a field experience at an American middle or high school in our university host community.

The 16 of us are sorted into 3 schools;

Pendleton High School,

Liberty Middle School,

and

Riverside Middle School,

where Lucyriver go to with another 4 fellows.

We visit the school for the first time on a Friday, where unfortunately the teachers are having their professional development training. Thus, no teachers and students in school. Instead we are greeted by the principal, Dr. Kevin Black, who gives us a tour around the school.

 In this field experience, we will each be paired with an American school teacher, who is teaching a related or similar subject. He or she will work with us to introduce us to the school, the classroom and students. We will also have the chance to participate in the school activities, events and meetings while collaborating with our partner teacher in the classroom.
