Due to the strike action, I was unable to finish my three week Community Field Experience at Cedardale, but was fortunately able to find a two week placement at the West Vancouver Community Center, volunteering in their play care centre. I have been working for a the Community Center for a number of years, as a summer camp counsellor and coordinator. I am very appreciative of the opportunity to return  there as a volunteer and am excited to see what these next two weeks have to offer!

 

Welcome to my reflection blog!

My name is Ilona Barran and I am a teacher candidate in the Core French and French Immersion Elementary Cohort at UBC. For my Community Field Experience as part of my education program, I requested to spend my three weeks at École Cedardale. The school graciously accepted my placement and I am extremely lucky to be part of this education adventure! École Cedardale is a French Immersion public school now also an IB (International Baccalaureate) Candidate School.  This blog will catalogue my thoughts and experiences throughout the duration of my CFE.

Thanks for reading!
