In my art education major, my most memorable experiences have been with my cooperating teachers during course placements. Being in schools with students and professionals is where I thrived. I had the most exciting time observing each cooperating teacher and their classroom. Through those experiences, I've been able to create professional relationships, gain resources, and become a part of a new community. The best part is returning after the course is over and continuing to be an active participant within that community.
