PROFESSIONAL Experience
One of the best examples of the experiential learning theory is the integration of the practicum experience in the University of Mary's education program. During my practicum and student teaching experiences, I have not only learned more about my strengths and areas of growth as an new educator, but I have been able to apply my previously untested knowledge of education in a real-world format under the supervision of some truly phenomenal educators.

" Experience is the best teacher which gives exposure to all aspects of life. There are many aspects of life to be learned unless you go for it. It is the endeavor to which you are exposed and your action on it culminates in experience. "
