Your field experience journal is where what you learn in your program meets the reality of the classroom. Your field experience journal will be a place where you can record your experiences throughout the program, and be a source for future artifacts of your development as a teacher. The field experience journal will be embedded within the portfolio as a live document that will automatically update with every entry.
