Requirements of Field Experience for: SPED 100 Introduction to the Exceptional Child Field Experience Database Login This part of the course will be done in the field and at schools. You must have a total of 12 hours of field experience for this course. The college of education office will contact you with information about how to log into the data base and enter your hours.

//Please contact the teacher ASAP to make the arrangements. Dress as a professional teacher and not as a college student when making these visits. Also, sign in at the offices of these schools and offer to find you own way to the resource rooms so that the cooperating teacher does not have to come and get you! Be helpful if possible when visiting the classrooms.//

__Paper I__ : Following the 12 hours of observation, you are to write a two page paper summarizing what types of activities were going on in the classroom, what disabilities were represented, and about the overall atmosphere. Also, include a statement about the observable difference between the special education room and the regular classrooms that you have observed. __ Paper II __ : You will have to write a 1-2 page reflection paper about the field experiences for this course. The paper should have statements about how the combined field experience changed your perception about SPED or how it confirmed it! Also, this is the place where you can write about your feelings about inclusive classrooms versus students pulled out into the resource room. Two papers in all! All of these papers will be submitted at the end of the field experiences and will be part of your portfolio if you are applying to the college of education at DSU. Submit in the D2L.
