Teachers Day

                                                      WEEK #6 SEPT 29 T0 OCTOBER 3

Teachers Day!!!

My accomplishment:

last week, I was able to have my one demo teaching in mathematics and record their quizzes, seat work and assignments. I monitor most of the time grade two pupils because my cooperating teacher was sick last Tuesday until Wednesday.

We, practicums   Played volleyball with the teachers of Lucban unfortunately we lost the game but at least we enjoyed the Teachers day and at the same time the sport feast.

My significant experiences: 

last week I received a flowers, soap and candies or chocolates from my pupils. It symbolized that I’m important to them and they treasure me as their  teacher, ate or friend. From that incident, my relationship with my pupils became closer but there is still a limitation. I can help them if they are encountering problems in schools and if they don’t understand something, I’m willing to help them.

I noticed that most of the boys, they were not answering their sumative test. So I need to do more effort for them. During their recess and lunch, I extent helping them and explaining how to answered their quizzed, I let other pupils to help them also. From that situation, they answer their own seat work or quizzes even though   some of their answered were wrong but at least they do their works. I need to do more efforts in explaining the lesson and more strategies for them to pick up the ideas or lesson for that day.

I practice them also that every morning, break time, lunch time and dismissal they need to pray.

My insights:  

Teacher must extent time for those pupils needed his/her help or support. As one of the theories, pupils need scaffolding after rendering help for them, let them do by their selves. 

One of the strategies” the teacher do while the pupils just watch then let the pupils do with the teacher after that let the pupils do by their own, the teacher just watch.” From that strategy the teacher give support for the pupils having hard time and giving opportunities to build their skills or enhancing their talents.

The teacher also must build a relationship with his/her co-teacher for sharing their strategies to each other and peer teaching can also applicable. For the pupils to understand better and become globally competences.

Teachers also need to construct a relationship for his/her pupils. To implement non-threatening atmosphere and to develop interaction among them. But the teacher must set a limit for them and also know how his/her extend his/her help for them. To avoid issues and maintain the professional as well.

Problems: 

I didn’t have my straight teaching and I just finished 20 lessons. I need more lesson to attain the goal having 30 demo teaching.

Solution: 

I ask my cooperating teacher to give me more lesson and opportunity to have my straight teaching next week. She approves my request, thanks to her for understanding me and giving me a chance to finish the 30 demo teaching also the straight teaching. She extends her help to me suggesting things and correcting my objectives if it is suited to the topics. She give me ideas in order how to demonstrate my lessons.

Goal for next week:

 I need to teach more 10 lessons and having straight teaching in order to attain the goal. To fill up the differences form and able to finish all papers requirement.
