Work Based Learning Spotlight: Dana Howard, Hiawatha Elementary School
My name is Dana Howard and for my Teaching Internship, I am interning with Mr. May, the vocal teacher, at the Middle School. This is my second year with Mr. May. On Mondays I’m with his fifth grade class and part of his sixth grade class. I chose this internship because my future career is to be a music teacher. With this internship I hope to find the age group that I would like to work with as well as some teaching techniques that I would like to implement in my classroom.
In the picture above, I am explaining the assignment given to the students. They weren’t doing the normal routine because Mr. May was sick that day. It gave me a chance to use some of the techniques I observed as well as learn more about the students. The assignment was to find five songs that reminded them of important parts of the year and to explain why. I learned that not a lot of them truly listen to music, more of them just have it as a background sound. Others have a niche playlist and others a wide variety of tastes. I also got to learn how they connect music to their world. But trying to help them with this assignment, it only strengthens my desire to become a music teacher, so I can keep having those types of moments with the students.

Work Based Learning Spotlight: Paul Mueller, BBCC
Hello, I am Paul Mueller. This semester I am job shadowing with Joel Bacon and his company BBCC. I go to BBCC storage to observe and learn how to do electrical wiring for Joel in this building. I enjoy going here because Joel always has something for me to do and it is always a great learning experience. I picked this job shadow because I'm going to be an electrician when I get out of school. I got to vo tech as well which I have included some of my work from vo tech as well in this WBL experience. Although it's not work done with Joel it's still things I'm learning that will help me become an electrician. Joel supervises me when I'm at the building. He helps guide me through whatever I struggle with electrical wise. I think doing WBL with Joel is the right fit for me as he does construction and is always needing electricians so it's nice to be able to learn from him and possibly work with him in construction when I'm done with schooling.

First graders are learning about symbols and traditions of the United States. Mrs. Bannister and third grader Mila Bechtold shared their experiences from when they visited the Liberty Bell in person. Ask your first grader if the bell still rings today!

Work Based Learning Spotlight: Acacia Erdley, Hiawatha Community Foundation
My name is Acacia Erdley and I am doing my WBL in marketing for the Hiawatha Community Foundation. I actually do this at the school but I get to visit with Mrs. Virginia Freeze each month to talk about my progress. The Hiawatha Community Foundation has some very exciting things in the works for students this next year and I am excited that I get to be a part of them! I work on slogans, social media posts, and posters for their future events. Initially I did this work study to try something different as I have been on the teaching path for a while, but I have really enjoyed getting to learn about marking and its perks! I can definitely see myself possibly doing something in marketing in my future.
