My Community Field Experience
I have always been interested in an outdoor education and nature-related learning practices. The idea of being able to enjoy nature and teach students at the same time was very appealing to me. Needless to say, that was one of the reasons Begbie Outdoor Education was my first choice for my Community Field Experience as part of my UBC BEd program. I had no idea what to expect, but I knew I would have to challenge myself and step out of my comfort zone, and of course, learn something new.
All UBC students met their community field sponsors ahead of time to introduce themselves and go over expectations and duties. I was privileged and beyond excited to find out that I would be working alongside two other teacher candidates from UBC as well as two teachers from Sir Matthew Begbie Elementary school in Vancouver and their two grade 6/7 classes. I felt welcomed and accepted the moment I met my community field sponsors and they reassured us that we would have an amazing time together and learn a lot from each other.
