EXPERIENCE LOG

Name: Elizabeth Knafelc

Schools: Linton Middle School, Penn Hills, PA Grade Level: Middle School (5-8)Beall Elementary School, Rockville, MD Grade Level: Elementary School (K-5)

The experience log is a detailed account of the levels and types of activities completed in the field. The candidates will objectively

document their experiences. The log will have the following parts: time spent on experience, detailed description of experience, role

played during experience, reflection on experience (what was learned during the experience), how experience impacts student

learning, relationships among factors that impact student learning with references to current research literature, relationships built via

the experience (when appropriate). This extensive log provides an opportunity for candidates to demonstrate best practices and make

connections between current research issues and school-level practice. An entry into the experience log will be completed at the end of

every day. The cooperating SLMS will have access to the final log and use it in addition to the final checklist to evaluate the

internship.
