I’m a teacher, a purveyor of truth and light
I’m a teacher, I was born to improve mankind
It’s my duty to enlighten the world
And guide the young to the path of the Lord.
In a mountain or in a city
On an island where I may be
I shall keep on bringing the light
And live as teacher until I die.
I’ll live as teacher until I die.
In today’s society a good, well rounded education is what every child needs
to succeed. The classroom environment, the curriculum, and the way the classroom
is managed are all important factors that contribute to the quality of education that
a child receives.
I truly believe that a teacher is the most important role a child comes across.
The impact that a teacher makes will last a life time.
The nature of students reflects many things including heredity, home life, and
society as a whole. When teaching, one must always consider the aspects that may
affect the students’ nature along with the nature of knowledge.
Public education is important to improving society and the future. Like Plato, I
feel education gives people the ability to think critically instead of being blindly led
by others. As a future teacher, I am idealistic in that I hope to encourage students
to challenge themselves, I also hope to encourage students to continue learning
throughout life, and prepare for college. To accomplish these goals, I will
incorporate pragmatic methods like hands on activities through laboratory
experiments and problem solving into my teaching. This also falls under
experimentalism. The Socratic method of small group discussions, lecturing, and
questioning will be used to help students acquire knowledge. Using many methods
will help all students to understand the material presented. Discipline will play an
important role in reaching my goals for the students. I plan to use pragmatic
methods also in establishing rules. Students will decide the rules and punishments
in a democratic method. I feel this will encourage obedience of rules. Public
education should remain a top priority for everyone and continuous support of
science is essential.
The responsibilities that educators have in the education field is to teach our
students the basic training skills needed to be successful in the future.
1) During
the practicum
period, pre- service teachers are expected to arrived cooperating school at a time

- Graduation
Day
My goals for the education profession are very simple to define. After
graduation, I will apply as a teacher in any institution of education. To become a
better teacher, I plan to pursue a masters and doctorate degree. I feel furthering my
education will only improve my teaching abilities.
After 8 years, I will be with the man whom I loved and responsible enough to
support the needs of our own family. We will have our own family business. I will
give my child the right nurturing and let them grow with values just like on how I
was trained by my mother. I will work hard for them to give my best in supporting
their needs. And when they will have their success in life, it will already complete
my life living in this world.
Reflective Journal 1
Learning outcomes are statements that specify what learners will know or be able to do as
a result of a learning activity. Outcomes are usually expressed as knowledge, skills, or attitudes.
Learning outcomes should flow from a needs assessment. The needs assessment should
determine the gap between an existing condition and a desired condition. I may know that the
learning outcomes achieved through the students responses in different assessments that I
implement. Learning outcomes should be related to the level of the learning, indicate the
intended gain in knowledge and skills that a typical student will achieve and should be capable of
being assessed.
Yes, my lesson plans contain all essential elements. Essential components of a strong,
effective lesson plan and will be on my way in achieving every my goal which is measurable
student learning.
1. Objectives and Goals- The lesson's objectives must be clearly defined and in lined with
district and/or state educational standards.
2. Review, drill and motivation- Before you dig into the meat of your lesson's instruction, set
the stage for your students by tapping into their prior knowledge and giving the objectives a
context.
3. Direct Instruction- When writing your lesson plan, this is the section where you explicitly
delineate how you will present the lesson's concepts to your students.
4. Guided Practice- Under your supervision, the students are given a chance to practice and
apply the skills you taught them through direct instruction.
5. Closure- In the Closure section, outline how you will wrap up the lesson by giving the lesson
concepts further meaning for your students.
7. Required Materials and Equipment- Here, you determine what supplies are required to help
your students achieve the stated lesson objectives.
8. Assessment and Follow-Up- The lesson doesn't end after your students complete a
worksheet. The assessment section is one of the most important parts of all.
Teachers need to understand a subject enough to convey its essence to students. While
traditionally this has involved lecturing on the part of the teacher, new instructional strategies
such as team-based learning put the teacher more into the role of course designer, discussion
facilitator, and coach and the student more into the role of active learner, discovering the subject
of the course. In any case, the goal is to establish a sound knowledge base and skill set on which
students will be able to build as they are exposed to different life experiences. Good teachers can
translate information, good judgment, experience and wisdom into relevant knowledge that a
student can understand, retain and pass to others.
All through the period of my in internship at San Roque I really prepare instructional
materials for the lesson I will deliver. I usually use words in a strip, visual aids, drawings,
pictures, illustrations and real objects. I can say that I have use effectively because it supports the
pupils understand the lesson easily.
There is really a need to us instructional materials because it helps the pupil have a clear
view and supports the pupil in understanding what the lesson is. These are helpful materials in
which the children may not only keep on listening to their teacher but they can also have visual
materials that will let them easily understand what is being taught.
I always do make sure that my instructional materials can arouse and sustain the interest
of the learners. I also make sure that it is clear, visible and clean. Sometimes i use colored
cartolinas so that pupils will not get bored of always having visual aid written in a manila paper.
The importance of instructional materials in teaching are getting the attention of the
students, the class is more realistic, and it gives a view point on the topic and it helps teacher to
teach well as to make her lesson clear and understandable to the students. Instructional materials
guide us how to learn well, and it make the students more clearly and interesting.
• provided in a manner and medium appropriate to the significance of the message and the
abilities of the person receiving the material.
Actual Teaching
In making my test items, I did make sure that the questions are all about the topics that
have been discussed to the class. I made sure that the test items were understandable and suited
to the level of my learners. I used simple words that can be easily understood by the learners’
level of understanding.
Some of the problems I have encountered during test preparation is on how to produce it
to all the students I am teaching since I am not yet earning money. I am also having doubts about
my test questions are challenging to those fast learner and if it is too hard to those slow learner.
In catering the needs of my learners, I really encourage them their lessons ahead of my
time. And before I am giving the test, I let them study the lessons even in a small time. And of
course I made the instructions readable and can easily be understood.
Reflective Journal 4
Test Preparation
The measures I took to make my test items clear is that I used words that can be easily
understood by the learners and I’m using the simple and right terms which of course relates to
the subject matter. And if the learners doesn’t have any doubts and questions about the test given
to them, then probably I can assure that my test items were clear and simple. But before I have
given the test to my learners, I let my cooperating teachers check the test I prepared so that they
will be able to give corrections. I did make sure that my test questions are focus on the level of
my learners.
The problems I have encountered during test preparation is that I’m quiet hesitant and
conscious about the words or grammars I used if it is suited to the understanding of my learners.
Another is that I also had the difficulty in making destructors in each item and how am I going to
deliver the test in oral or written way. Also if each item is appropriate for the level of
comprehension of the pupils.
The types of information that can be obtain about pupil’s progress by marking the test is
most importantly to know the student’s level of learning process and how they get intellectually
the way the teacher teach the learners.
In the case that if a lot of learners who did poorly in one subject area, basically I’m going
to recall my past lesson plans and the students’ performances during the discussion and how the
items implemented and how it was done. I will also do reviews every time I start and end my
lesson. And of course, this situation will help me improve and develop my future teaching.
Assessment for learning should be part of effective planning of teaching and learning. A
teacher's planning should provide opportunities for both learner and teacher to obtain and use
information about progress towards learning goals. It also has to be flexible to respond to initial
and emerging ideas and skills. Planning should include strategies to ensure that learners
understand the goals they are pursuing and the criteria that will be applied in assessing their
work. How learners will receive feedback, how they will take part in assessing their learning and
how they will be helped to make further progress should also be planned.
The process of learning has to be in the minds of both learner and teacher when
assessment is planned and when the evidence is interpreted. Learners should become as aware of
the 'how' of their learning as they are of the 'what'.

Self Evaluation
Another is that i also had problem about dealing the students’ abilities. I really have
adjustments in handling them in terms of my teaching strategies that I will apply. Another is that
how will I be able to cater the needs of my students.
Good teaching is about not always having a fixed agenda and being rigid, but being
flexible, fluid, experimenting, and having the confidence to react and adjust to changing
circumstances. It's about getting only 10 percent of what you wanted to do in a class do and still
feeling good. It's about deviating from the course syllabus or lecture schedule easily when there
is more and better learning elsewhere. Good teaching is about the creative balance between being
an authoritarian dictator on the one hand and a pushover on the other.
Right after we are gathered, we went inside the principal’s office of SRCES to
meet Mrs. Belma D. Ebardo, the school principal. She introduced herself first before
giving us an orientation and overview about our internship in their school. We were
oriented about the rules and regulations of the school and everything important we
need to know. After being oriented, she then assigned us to our respective
cooperating teachers.
I was assigned to Mrs. Luz M. Macatangay, a grade 5 teacher. I’m so glad that
I was assigned to my former science teacher when I was in grade 5 also in San
Roque. She only teaches science subject in 6 sections of grade 5. We then talked
and she gave me inspirational thoughts about teaching. But the first thing that she
asked me is that why did I choose being a teacher? , and I answered her that I was
inspired by my teachers like her. Though I keep on hearing that nobody became rich
in teaching profession, but still for me it doesn’t matter how much a teacher earns
because I prefer with the quality not the quantity.
“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops.”
FIRST DAY!!!!!...
Today I came to school early because this was our first day of staying with
our assigned class. I attended the flag ceremony with the pupils of Grade V- Laurel,
the advisory class of my cooperating teacher. After the flag ceremony, we then
went inside our respective classroom and go on with the class.
Before Mrs. Macatangay started her lesson, she introduced me to the class
and told them that I was one of her former Grade V student in section I. I saw
gladness in the faces of the pupils because they were proud also that I was once
like them studying in San Roque.
For this day, Mrs. Macatangay let me go with her as she was having her class
with different sections. She told me to familiarize the pupils and observe their
attitudes and manner. My CT is teaching science in 6 sections in grade 5 and each
session is 1 hour. This tells me that I will also be teaching 5 sections in the morning
and 1 section in the afternoon in Grade 5.
In my observation, I found different personalities which tell that “No two men
ever had the same personality because each of us has its own uniqueness”.
Today I have learned that if you were assigned in higher grades (grade 4-6),
you should not treat your pupils like a baby or a kid. Remember that these children
have already the ability to do things with their own. Don’t show them as if you were
serving them as what a servant does. Let them learn to do things with their own
effort like cleaning and classroom management. They may not only do this inside
the classroom but also they can apply it with the outside world especially in their
own home.
I thought I will still have the observation but then my CT let me teach on the
spot. I was not prepared and she let me teach in 2 sections. At first I was shocked
and felt nervousness. I did not study about the topic to be discuss, however, I was
able to deliver it through my prior knowledge. But then, later on, I was able to
overcome it in delivering the lesson with the use of my awareness and prior
knowledge.
“In the end, you’re measured not by how much you undertake, but by what you
finally accomplish”
My CT gave me a topic to prepare because I will be the one to have the class
discussion tomorrow.
I punched in my bandy card at exactly 6:28 in the morning. And when I came
in the classroom, my CT told me to occupy the table beside her. She was writing her
lesson plan then and later on, she let me write some visual aids about the topic she
will be going to discuss. I really love writing so I gladly did her favor and then she
told me that she likes my handwriting. I was flattered especially when she said that
I will really be a teacher. And it struck ed me most when she said those words that I
was right with my decision of becoming a teacher. I was really encouraged to do
well about this profession. I told myself, “I love teaching! I will be a teacher!”
This day, Mrs. Macatangay only let me stay inside the classroom of her
advisory because she will only conduct an activity in her class. So I just stayed
inside the classroom and I had the chance to start knowing each of my students in
my advisory class. I got along with them and I let each of them introduce their self
to familiarize their faces as well as their names.
At first, they were kind of hesitant to get along with me, but later on, we felt
comfortable with each other.
I have learned that you should really get along with your learners to be able
to know some of their backgrounds and get their relationship with you.
Before I started my first actual teaching I prayed to the Lord to guide give me
courage and strength to have patience and self-confidence during the class.
Today I have learned that it is really very important to have a lesson plan first
before implementing and presenting the lesson to the class. As well as instructional
materials to be used should also be well prepared and presentable this should of
course be related with the topic most especially with the activities that you will
prepare.
Before I left home, I made sure that I have prepared all the things I needed
for today’s discussion. I also checked my lesson plan and my instructional materials.
I can now also present the lesson with a good communication with the pupils
because we are starting getting to know each other with my pupils in different
sections. I was relaxed in presenting and with the discussion to the class. We felt
comfortable between the learners and me.
Though there are times that the pupils are starting to be noisy, but as a
teacher I need to discipline them and they also obeyed.
Teachers Day!!!!!
In respect with the celebration for our teachers, I bought a present for
my cooperating teacher Mrs. Macatangay. And of course, we also have our gift for
our dear cooperating principal Mrs. Ebardo. There was a mass held before having
the teacher’s day program.
Right after the program, we gave our own presents to our respective
cooperating teachers. As well as with the other teachers of SRCES, we greeted them
with a smile. I was shocked when there are some students who gave me something
and greeted me happy teachers day. I never thought that students will treat me as
a teacher already. And then I came to realize that children were very thoughtful
especially to teachers.
While she was teaching, I was also sitting at the back and listens to the discussion. I
took down notes about the lesson because I was interested to learn again about it.
Later on, Mrs. Macatangay talked with me. She observed that I was also like the
pupils who listens and taking down notes about her discussion. The she asked me if
I have still remembered that we had also discussed it when I was once her student
in grade 5. The truth is that I have remembered the days when we had the
discussion about the topics and lessons like this one. I can remember that we made
projects, outputs and activities about it.
In our conversation, I can’t forget her lines that, “You know what Xan, in teaching
you are not only imparting and discuss the lessons found in the book but at the
same time you are also learning. You also need to teach that comes from the heart.
In teaching, you will not just rely on the book but you can mix up the conversation
with things out from the topic but not too much. You can also add about your
experiences which relates to the topic.”
The lesson I have discussed this day was still all about levers. We have
tackled about the parts and classes of levers. I brought real objects of levers to be
used in presenting the lesson. My activity was all about choosing any of the objects
I brought the pupil will identify each part of the lever and classifying it. Students
were very interested about our activity. They were very active and participative
during our discussion.
I’m so happy that I have used an effective learning activity today in which I
saw that my pupils were able to understand the lesson clearly.
December 10, 2009 (Thursday)
I was still the class adviser today for the mean time since my CT was not
around again. Same as what I have observed of what Mrs. Macatangay does for her
students, I let them clean the classroom and told them to maintain the cleanliness
of their classroom to a have a place conducive for learning.
In teaching I always wear a smile so that pupils will not be bored in listening
and looking at me. I do make sure that sometime I can make them laugh with my
little jokes. but of course, I always make sure that they can really understand what
am I teaching and what was our discussion all about.
“Men are more mindful of wrongs than of benefits.” I was always conscious
about my grammars in speaking because if feels so bashful if pupils will correct me
especially about my grammar. I talk not too fast, not too slow. I always talk in a
gentle and kind way.
Eventhough I had a doubt about why my CT was absent again, still I enjoyed
having a class with the pupils. I was persuaded to have the lesson and discussion
because I came to realized that I now loved Science subject in which I am learning
again while I was preparing and studied the topic. I can also learn from the pupils by
their own different ideas.
Though there are some pupils who are really stubborn and hard-headed, still I
controlled myself not to show temper and stayed calm in telling them to keep quite.
They respected me and they cooperate during our discussion. I have prepared and
gave students learning activities and I found out that they were very interested in
having an activity because they only perform an activity often. That’s why they
were very excited and alert in doing the activity.
You can teach a student a lesson for a day, but if you can teach him to learn by
creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.
December 14, 2009 (Monday)
Teaching is not merely teaching. You have a lot of things to do with your
learners aside from teaching. With the experience also, I had many realizations and
conclusions of being a teacher. We must view young people not as empty bottles to
be filled, but as candles to be lit. I always get worried everytime I cannot measure
that the students understood our lesson. I always want to make sure that each of
them understand and of course learn of what was our lesson all about.
I never thought that last fridaty was already my last chance to teach in Grade 5.
This day was a break for me because Mrs. Macatangay was the one who hjad
all the teaching in all classes. I was just assisting her in bringing the materials for
her discussion. T he topic for today was all about the screw, the last kind of simple
machine. After the discussion of each class, she let the pupils take the chapter test
which was all about simple machines, my lesson when she was not around.
I was so nervous and worried for what will be the outcome and result of the
pupils’ scores in the chapter test.
Luckily, only few got low scores and many got high. But still I was not
contented with it because I wanted that all of them will get high score.
The program starts at around 8:30 with a doxology presented by the selected
pupils of San Roque. The presentations were arranged by Grade level. We got
excited when it was already us who will present in the stage. It is quiet
overwhelming and flattering because students were cheering and yelling with us.
They seem to be happy seeing their student teachers on the stage. My former
teachers were also smiling at me in which I saw gladness in their faces and
remembering the days when I was once their student dancing on the stage in every
event in the school. I’m so happy for they can still remember who I am.
I was the assigned to organize the program for the Grade V-Laurel Christmas
party. I came early before the students will arrive because I was preparing for the
materials for the games and classroom arrangement. Mrs. Macatangay was the one
arranged and preparation of the food. We had a lot of games that I planned and I
made sure that all of them will enjoy. Though we don’t have really a lot of foods but
still we are happy because each of us enjoyed the party. I was also very happy
because I received Christmas gifts from my pupils. Those little things means a lot to
me. I will value all of those gifts I received. My cooperating teacher, Mrs.
Macatangay, also gave me a gift in which I was so shy to receive it but I accepted it.
I love what she gave to me. Its’s a t-shirt she bought from Tagaytay just for me.
I was so tired that morning. Right after the party, I helped in cleaning the
room and wave goodbye to my CT because in the afternoon was our schedule for
the pictorial for our yearbook.
We don’t have a class because the teachers of San Roque Central Elementary
School are having their teacher’s party. I took a rest at home and took a relaxation
for all the stress I have during classes.
We started our new year’s first day class by having a general cleaning in our
classroom. It was very dusty and dirty.
With the pupils and my CT, we cleaned up the classroom. We swept and
scrubbed the floor, watered the plants and took away the Christmas decorations.
Though some of the teachers did not have their class in our section, still my
cooperating teachers roamed around and still have the class. all she did was to let
the students compute their scores of their quizzes, assignments and chapter test all
about simple machines.
I was the one tasked to discuss the introduction of the lesson about rocks.
Before I introduced the new lesson, I conducted an activity as a review from their
past lesson. I wanted to know if they have still remembered what we talked about
last year. Then, it’s a good result because I can say that they have understood what
am I teaching.
I let the pupils do the activities I have prepared for them. The first one was a
group activity and the other one is an individual activity. I did make sure that the
students will get busy to minimize the noise in the class and to minimize also the
stress to myself.
I was not really prepared for the nest lesson because I thought that she will
be the one to teach today. What I did is that I easily went to school very early and
used my time in reading and studying about the topic for today. I directly made a
lesson plan right after I have read the topic so that I can use it as my guide and to
have direction of my teaching.
I was thankful at the end of the day because I know that God has guided me
throughout the day in which I was able to handle the classes. Thanks God!
I told the students to keep up the good work and to keep on studying hard. I
told them that someday you will also be like me, preparing for a new chapter of life.
I encouraged my pupils to pursue their studies and to keep reaching their goals.
They told me that they will never forget me and the memories that we shared will
remain forever.
The school had a mass early in the morning for the celebration of Mrs. Belma
D. Ebardo’s birthday. All the teachers and students of San Roque attended the mass
and the program. Teachers prepared something which surprised Ma’am Bea.
Today was also our schedule of shifting and I was assigned in grade 4. My
new cooperating teacher was Mrs. Glenna M. Cadavas, a grade 4 section 1 adviser.
She was also my teacher and adviser in my grade 4. I already know her attitude, the
do’s and don’ts of Ma’am Glenna. She was my idol and inspiration especially when it
comes to discipline. She really trains her student to be responsible and a good
student, just like me. I really like her for she is not strict but she limits her
relationship between the students and parents. I really can’t forget the memories I
had with her and my classmates in grade 4. I said to myself that I’m lucky that I was
assigned to Ma’am Cadavas.
We did not have our formal shifting because of the program but instead we
used our day having our last bonding with my students in grade 5 and with my CT,
Ma’am Luz. I also thank Mrs. Macatangay for accepting me and treating me well
during my internship with her. I told her that I learned a lot from a short span of
time with her class and I now loved SCIENCE!!!!!.. =)
It was my first day to meet the new grade level of pupils that I will handle the
grade 4. So I woke very early so that I can also be early in coming to school. As I
was about to leave the house, someone called me in my phone. I was shocked when
I knew it was Ma’am Glenna and she told me that she will be absent today. I got
tongue tied and all I said was yes ma’am!. She gave me all the instructions of what
am I going to do today with the pupils. She told me all the activities that I will be
giving to the pupils to keep them busy.
When I arrived in school at 6:10 a.m and I directly went to the Grade 4
section 1 classroom which is just beside the principal’s office. The pupils were
wondering and shocked when they saw me. They kept on asking if why Ma’am
Cadavas was not around . Then I told them that I am their adviser today.
I taught English subject in the first 4 sections in the morning. Then after that
4 classes, I have be with them again for their HeKaSi subject. I have 5 sessions in
the morning and 2 sessions in the afternoon.
I did felt nervousness anymore when I talked and approached the grade 4
students.
At the end of the day, I learn how to be more responsible for the things
accounted to me. It’s a great accomplishment that I finished the day productively.
I presented the lesson and I did the teaching without my cooperating teacher.
At first, the pupils were hesitant to approach me but then later on they had the
confidence to talk with me. I also talked with them kindly and gently.
We had our second day of discussion all about verbs in simple present tense.
We continued the lesson and had further explanation with it so that the pupils will
really understand the topic. I prepared activities for them in connection with our
lesson. They showed interest in doing the activity which made me happy.
A teacher really needs to be resourceful and flexible to cater the needs of the
pupils. Good teaching is as much about passion as it is about reason. It's about not
only motivating students to learn, but teaching them how to learn, and doing so in a
manner that is relevant, meaningful, and memorable. It's about caring for your
craft, having a passion for it, and conveying that passion to everyone, most
importantly to your students.
I gave many activities to the pupils today. The first activity was done by
group. The students enjoyed in making it and in presenting it.
This is very important - good teaching is about humor. It's about being self-
deprecating and not taking yourself too seriously. It's often about making innocuous
jokes, mostly at your own expense, so that the ice breaks and students learn in a
more relaxed atmosphere where you, like them, are human with your own share of
faults and shortcomings.
January 15, 2010 (Friday)
This was my fifth day in teaching grade 4 classes of Mrs. Cadavas. Some were
starting to show off of who really they are. I slowly observed the different
personality and attitudes of my pupils. Some were becoming unruly in which they
really don’t want to listen to me instead they kept on playing during my time. They
were just underestimating me because I was not really their teacher instead I was
just a practice teacher. There were times that I seem of giving up but then I warned
myself that it is not the time to give up instead it’s the time to rise and stand up.
I’m always reminding myself that I can do anything in this world if I am prepared to
take the consequences.
Today I only gave activities to my students about the topic yesterday since
we are busy preparing for the PHIL IRRI tomorrow. The teachers’ were busy
preparing for the materials to be used for tomorrow activity. And for that reason we
interns were requested by our cooperating teachers to assist them.
Another thing that was talked about this day is the students’ performance
about last the 3rd periodical examination the teachers’ were also busy computing
the grades of the students. So what I did is follow what was instructed to me by Mrs.
Gumapac.
The day is tiring for me but I learned things that will really help me to cope up
the profession I chose to walk through out my life. I learned how to be cooperative
and to listen not only to the favors that was asked by my cooperating teacher but
also to lend ear for the advices imparted to me.
January 19, 2010 (Tuesday)
Time and time, I find it hard when it comes in having discipline with my
students. There were becoming unruly but I don’t mind it. I am still optimistic in
handling them in a kind attitude.
"Life at any time can become difficult: life at any time can become easy. It all
depends upon how one adjusts oneself to life."
Today, we were busy preparing for the PHIL IRRI tomorrow. The teachers’
were busy preparing for the materials to be used for tomorrow’s activity. And for
that reason we interns were requested by our cooperating teachers to assist them.
Another thing that was talked about this day is the students’ performance
about last the 3rd periodical examination the teachers’ were also busy computing
the grades of the students.
The day is tiring for me but I learned things that will really help me to cope up
the profession I chose to walk through out my life. I learned how to be cooperative
and to listen not only to the favors that was asked by my cooperating teacher but
also to lend ear for the advices imparted to me.
The PHIL IRRI had started. The activities are silent reading and oral reading.
Mrs. Cadavas was the one who examined the performance of the pupil through
listening in the students’ way of reading if they are either fast reader or slow
reader. The tasked given to me by Maám Cadavas to make the work easier and
faster was she let me compute the performance and rate what she had examined
from the child.
I enjoyed the task given to me. With the hands helping and working together,
we were able to finish the oral activity in just one day. Some of the classes were
not able to finish it with just this day, but us, we did it.
At the end of the class, as what we always do, Mrs. Cadavas shared
experiences in life. She always gives me lessons in life which really struck me most.
For this day, we continued the PHIL IRRI activity which was the silent
reading. Fortunately, the class had a complete attendance which also made a good
factor in accomplishing the activity faster.
Out from the two days we conducted the PHIL IIRI , I learned how to
understand my students’ different skills in reading especially their weakness when it
comes to comprehension and retention of what they were reading.
We all then gathered the data and checked its corresponding rating with the
child’s performance. The submission of teachers report about PHIL IRRI was
scheduled on Monday, but Mrs. Cadavas submitted her report ahead of time to
avoid cramming.
"What was really needed was a fundamental change in our attitude toward
life. We had to learn ourselves and, furthermore, we had to teach the despairing
men, that it did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life
expected from us."
I really appreciate learners who are willing to learn and explore new things.
They were the one who inspired me in doing well my teaching career. Eventhough
there were hard-headed students, still I am not discouraged by it instead it
challenges me and teaches me on how to have a strong personality.
"If things are not going well with you, begin your effort at correcting the
situation by carefully examining the service you are rendering, and especially the
spirit in which you are rendering it."
The objective of today’s lesson is to let the students have more hands-
on experience or a kind of approached that is practical. And, for them to understand
more the lesson that has been discussed last meeting.
Experience really is the best teacher ever. It is very helpful in which we will
be able to share it to the class which is of course related with your lesson.
Moreover, with our internship at SRCES, we requested Mr. Rivera that we will
join their activity of Boy Scouts. It will be part of our extra-curricular exposure.
For today’s lesson, we discussed all about the Present tense of Regular Verbs.
I like it everytime Mrs. Cadavas let me teach or have the discussion. I prefer
teaching than just sitting at the back of the class doing nothing. I better do the
teaching which I know helped me in improving my skills especially talking in public
or facing different people.
I was so happy that we had this practice teaching or internship for it let me
have the exposure to in facing and communicating with children.
February 2, 2010 (Tuesday)
My cooperating teacher was very busy these days because she had a lot of
tasks to do. So, I was the one who did all the teaching in all her classes. In my
advisory, we used or time in letting the pupils practice for their class presentation in
HEKASI.
"“It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than
anything else, will affect its successful outcome.”
We, the student teachers of USeP attended the seminar about Career
symposium. There were guests speakers who presented some information to us and
shared or imparted us some knowledge in the world of working. It was a very good
seminar because it helps us to be aware in everything in the field that we will be
after graduating. There was also an open forum at the last part of the symposium in
which we were given the chance to raise questions about what do we want to know.
The part of the said symposium I liked was when the discussion all about job
application. There were tips informed to us on what to do if you apply for any job. It
was a successful one because we learned a lot from it.
"Finish each day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some
blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can.
Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be
cumbered with your old nonsense."
Today, there was a job fair held at USeP social hall. I was not able to attend or
got to chance to apply for the jobs being offered because I was conducting my class
at San Roque. I taught about Future Tense of the Verb in English. In HeKaSi, Mrs.
Cadavas was the one who took charge of the class.
"Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that
determines our success or failure. The way you thing about a fact may defeat you
before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you
think you are."
So excited!!!!
This is it!!!!!!!!
Before I left home, I prayed and asked God to guide me through all the day
especially during the presentation of my final demo. I asked Him to bless me
strength, calmness, direction and patience.
Before the day, I took a rest and relaxation and made sure that all I needed
were already prepared.
I was so happy that the practicum supervisor who sits in with my demo is
Mrs. Valiente. I’m so confident that she will going to fail me.
Before the day, I took a rest and relaxation and made sure that all the I
needed were already prepared.
At the end of the day, I was contented and fulfilled with the achievement I
had this day. I thank all my students for all the support they gave to me. They
showed a good performance which was one of the points I considered of having a
successful final demonstration.
It was the day after final demonstration and feels so blessed because nobody
from Team San Roque required for a re-demonstration and I know that we don’t
deserve it for we really did our best in delivering our demonstration.
Moving on, we prepared for the letterings of the “King and Queen of Hearts,”
for the Valentines Celebration Program of San Roque Central Elementary School.
"Ability is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do.
Attitude determines how well you do it."
Today, we celebrated the Happy Hearts Day. In the afternoon, the school held
a program entitled “King and Queen of Hearts 2010.” The event was prestigious
because prominent people came since they were invited as the Guests of Honor.
One of those prominent people was none other than the City Mayor Rodrigo R.
Duterte. The crowned King and Queen were given the opportunity to have a
pictorial with our beloved Mayor Rody. The program was very beautiful and it ended
well and peacefully.
Today I was tasked to have the discussion all about comparing adjectives. I
prepared the instructional materials needed for the class discussion. I also prepared
activities in connection with the topic. And I’m so happy that the students enjoyed
our discussion especially during the activities they have done. They were
participative today and active which encouraged me to do well with the delivery of
the lesson.
You cannot tailor make the situations in life, but you can tailor make the
attitudes to fit those situations before they arise.
There was a mass in the morning at San Roque because it was Ash
Wednesday. I was supposed to give seat works to my class. However, because of
the mass, it was pre-empted. After the mass, the class was also postponed because
of an Earthquake drill which was simulated by the pupils. It was in accordance with
the City’s Advocacy on Calamity awareness. It was assessed by the City Emergency
unit or 911. In the afternoon, the classes resumed.
I’m happy that today is the last day of the week where I can sleep early and
can wake up late the day after. Same with the routine yesterday, I was the one
tasked to do the teaching in the first 3 sections, then after, my ct took charge the
class.
At the end of the day, good teaching is about having fun, experiencing
pleasure and intrinsic rewards ... like locking eyes with a student in the back row
and seeing the synapses and neurons connecting, thoughts being formed, the
person becoming better, and a smile cracking across a face as learning all of a
sudden happens. Good teachers practice their craft not for the money or because
they have to, but because they truly enjoy it and because they want to. Good
teachers couldn't imagine doing anything else.
Today is a special holiday since it was the day for every Filipinos in
celebrating from being freed from Martial law.
There are no classes today. But I still made sure that do something
meaningful despite the day’s break. I started compiling the components for our
professional portfolio.
Pupils were very hyperactive especially when I’m having a class. Some pupils
especially the boys and slow learners do not pay attention with my discussion. I feel
do annoyed and makes my temper high. It hurts too much everytime you give your
very best to something but still you fail. I had given all my best to discipline the
learners, yet it has no effect to them.
She gave instructional materials about the topic adverbs then I was the one
who conducted the class discussion. I explained and reviewed the class about
adverbs then I gave them activities to be answered right after the discussions. In
HeKaSi I let them read the topic for the day and gave them an activity.
I was then assisting my cooperating teacher in the things she needed. She
asked me to have the class in some sections as she was having things to do.
Instructional materials for the topic and all the instructions of the things I would do
for the class were all given to me.
Today, we the USeP interns were excused from our classes because we
were tasked to assist in the preparation for the Alumni Homecoming dubbed “A
WALK TO REMEMBER.” Mrs. Jean Leonar was the one who requested us to help in
the preparation of the big event which was the very first time to happen since then.
I will be also part of this event because I was one of the products and a graduate of
San Roque Central Elementary School.
It was a great honor for us since it was the first time that the school will be
having its reunion. We made sure that we really worked for it so that we will be also
part of the success of the event. We really did our very best in the first ever
homecoming to be prestigious. But the fun doesn’t stop here. Tomorrow is the big
day. We are so excited to meet the people and the alumni of San Roque. We were
assigned to assist everything to be needed for the said event. I was tasked in the
registration section.
Me, myself was even excited with the big event because I am very excited to
meet my former classmates in my alma mater, not only my classmates but also my
teachers and mentors who inspired me.
The San Roque team made a request from the school to excused in 3 days for
the making of our portfolio. Mrs. Ebardo, SRCES principal approved the letter that’s
why we were formally excused from the school. We requested a 3-days leave for
the completion of our portfolio. I had already told my cooperating teacher about it
so she already knew it in advance.
However I still went to school for pictorial purposes and for some important
matters that is still relevant for our final project. I let my CT signed some documents
to be included of the said project.
It was so tiring today because we really had overtime for our portfolio making
but I know in a few weeks our agony will be lessened since the graduation day is
fast approaching. We can then take a rest after doing this one.
March 3, 2010(Wednesday)
It was our last day for being excused from SRCES, but still I wasn’t able to
finish my work. I found a hard time in finishing my portfolio because I don’t have
any technology to be used and I don’t also have enough money to have it in an
internet café. So I decided to double my energy and power to make it successfully
and also to sustain my strength. Fortunately, I have a friend, Reziel, who shared her
laptop to me and through it I was able to do my things.
Today was the National Achievement Test of grade 6. The grade 4 section
one has no class because our room was used by the examiners.
However, I still reported in the school though Mrs. Cadavas was not around.
Actually she told me that it will be okay if I will not report in school, but I preferred
to stay I school rather than staying at home. What I did was I checked the formal
theme notebooks that were task for me to do.
Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits. Believe in yourself.
Consider things from every angle. Don't give up and don't give in. Enjoy life today,
yesterday is gone, and tomorrow may never come. Family and friends are hidden
treasures, seek them and enjoy their riches. Give more than you planned to.
Hang on to your dreams. Ignore those who try to discourage you. Just do it. Keep
trying no matter how hard it seems, it will get easier. Love yourself first and most.
Make it happen. Never lie, cheat or steal, always strike a fair deal. Open your eyes
and see things as they really are. Practice makes perfect. Quitters never win and
winners never quit. Read, study and learn about everything important in your life.
Stop procrastinating. Take control of your own destiny. Understand yourself in order
to better understand others. Visualize it. Want it more than anything. ‘Excellerate’
your efforts. You are unique of all God's creations, nothing can replace YOU. Zero in
on your target and go for it!"
Instructional materials are kind of tools or equipments can help
effectively the instructor in theory teaching classroom or in
practical assessment.
Experiential Learning
(C. Rogers)
Overview:
Rogers distinguished two types of learning: cognitive (meaningless) and
experiential (significant). The former corresponds to academic knowledge such as
learning vocabulary or multiplication tables and the latter refers to applied
knowledge such as learning about engines in order to repair a car. The key to the
distinction is that experiential learning addresses the needs and wants of the
learner. Rogers lists these qualities of experiential learning: personal involvement,
self-initiated, evaluated by learner, and pervasive effects on learner.
Scope/Application:
Roger's theory of learning originates from his views about psychotherapy and
humanistic approach to psychology. It applies primarily to adult learners and has
influenced other theories of adult learning such as Knowles and Cross. Combs
(1982) examines the significance of Roger's work to education. Rogers & Frieberg
(1994) discuss applications of the experiential learning framework to the classroom.
Example:
A person interested in becoming rich might seek out books or classes on
ecomomics, investment, great financiers, banking, etc. Such an individual would
perceive (and learn) any information provided on this subject in a much different
fashion than a person who is assigned a reading or class.
Principles:
1. Significant learning takes place when the subject matter is relevant to the
personal interests of the student
2. Learning which is threatening to the self (e.g., new attitudes or perspectives) are
more easily assimilated when external threats are at a minimum
Overview:
The social learning theory of Bandura emphasizes the importance of observing and
modeling the behaviors, attitudes, and emotional reactions of others. Bandura
(1977) states: "Learning would be exceedingly laborious, not to mention hazardous,
if people had to rely solely on the effects of their own actions to inform them what
to do. Fortunately, most human behavior is learned observationally through
modeling: from observing others one forms an idea of how new behaviors are
performed, and on later occasions this coded information serves as a guide for
action." (p22). Social learning theory explains human behavior in terms of
continuous reciprocal interaction between cognitive, behavioral, an environmental
influences. The component processes underlying observational learning are: (1)
Attention, including modeled events (distinctiveness, affective valence, complexity,
prevalence, functional value) and observer characteristics (sensory capacities,
arousal level, perceptual set, past reinforcement), (2) Retention, including symbolic
coding, cognitive organization, symbolic rehearsal, motor rehearsal), (3) Motor
Reproduction, including physical capabilities, self-observation of reproduction,
accuracy of feedback, and (4) Motivation, including external, vicarious and self
reinforcement.
Scope/Application:
Social learning theory has been applied extensively to the understanding of
aggression (Bandura, 1973) and psychological disorders, particularly in the context
of behavior modification (Bandura, 1969). It is also the theoretical foundation for the
technique of behavior modeling which is widely used in training programs. In recent
years, Bandura has focused his work on the concept of self-efficacy in a variety of
contexts (e.g., Bandura, 1997).
Example:
The most common (and pervasive) examples of social learning situations are
television commercials. Commercials suggest that drinking a certain beverage or
using a particular hair shampoo will make us popular and win the admiration of
attractive people. Depending upon the component processes involved (such as
attention or motivation), we may model the behavior shown in the commercial and
buy the product being advertised.
Principles:
3. Individuals are more likely to adopt a modeled behavior if the model is similar to
the observer and has admired status and the behavior has functional value.
Children require guidance and
sympathy far more than instruction.
Reading is the process of getting meaning from printed word symbols. It is an active
attempt on the part of a reader, to understand a writer’s message. The reader interacts with and
tries to reconstruct what a writer wishes to communicate.
Why read? Book is the instrument for perpetuating the body of knowledge painfully and
slowly accumulated through ages of man. They are also the means of preserving and maintaining
the solid foundation of culture and learning.
The mentors of the primary level students have a very important role for the development
of each child. They should have a variety of approaches so that students belong in primary level
especially in the third grade level will be motivated to read and comprehend.
Background of the Study
Some children entering the third grade are not yet ready for formal instruction in reading.
Premature introduction in reading in the grade three students delay progress in learning other
abilities that are essential in developing balance in acquiring the initial reading skills.
Children progress at different rated. Some are fast learners and others are very slow in
their developments in reading. Parents are concerned with the rapid educational advancement of
their children, but our experience shows that some parents are impatient and anxious to see the
progress. There are also parents that did not give time to their children in reading. A child must
get a good start at home and in the school in learning to read. This is the foundation for all
academic learning.
Problem Analysis
On the basis of observation, it was found out that there are competences, which children
must acquire prior to receiving formal instruction in reading. The following are:
1. Adequate reading readiness activities given to the students in grade three. This
pertains to the capacity/capability of the child to perform independence in any given
task.
Formulating Hypothesis
The causes why other pupils in primary level especially in Grade I- Mangga are slow
reader:
b. Students came from lower class families. Parents cannot provide reading
materials at home.
c. Students with emotional problems sufficiently serious to make them disrupt their
learning process.
d. Teachers are lack of reading materials, textbooks and references. Materials serve
as the tools for teaching reading.
Experimentation
After knowing the causes, the pupils of Grade I- Mangga must be first introduce to
“Reading Readiness” so that children will be prepared for the reading readability. This pertains
to the materials/text to read.
Identifying the similarities and differences of objects and letters, are lesson activities in
Reading Readiness. Here are some exercises:
1.
R S t R
2.
B. Check the object or letter that is different from the left.
1.
A A Z A
2.
Beginning Reading follows. Here is the letter sound of the alphabets that were introduced
and writing will be included in the activities. Here are the sequences of letter sounds:
a s m l e I ss f t n o
r g oo ee th b c p h y d
v x ea u ll w x d j x ai
There should be a mastery of blending of letter sounds. Let children read word, then
phrases and sentences. Almost all of the pupils in section Mangga can read and write simple
words as;
At this time, the pupils are beginning the reading stage. The mentors at this stage in
learning gave emphasis to reading with comprehension. Pupils should be given with more
exercises in reading and writing. Each pupil is required to stand in the class and read everyday.
Strategies must also be created for every lesson in reading start with story telling or poem. With
this, activity, the children will have the desire to learn to read fast and can be exposed to the
natural language and correct language structure. The target of a teacher is 85% reading
proficiency.
V. Evaluation
Varied activities like book reading and adopted remedial instruction develop speed and
accuracy in reading. A record must also be kept in any test given to students, oral and written and
the chance that took place.
With the help of Phil IRI materials and Reading Proficiency test the teacher, reading
progress of students will be checked individually. From the said test, slow-reader and fast readers
were identified.
Slow readers were given special attention, and only them will be given remedial
instruction and were limited in number to ensure that all were given proper attention. If there
were many slow readers in class, they were scheduled alternately.
Two weeks later, another reading proficiency test is conducted. There was a great
improvement. The 19 slow readers can read better than their performance before.
Reading is important and should be given more attention by the teacher especially in the
first grader. It is essential in learning other abilities.
The teacher should consider individual differences. Student’s progresses are at different
rate. It is up for the teachers to find out the importance of letting the child read in front of the
class everyday, remedial instruction, uses of chart, informing the parents of their child’s reading
skills.
If the child had not attended kindergarten class, reading readiness should be introduced
before Beginning Reading. If this stage is introduced before formal reading, the teacher will be
very sure of 98% to 100% of the class can read and are prepared to go to the next higher grade.

CHARACTER REFERENCE
Student teaching or Teaching Internship is one of the most important and crucial phases
in Teaching Education. It is in this culminating stage where the student teachers put into practice
the learning competencies they acquired in the teacher education program and at the same time
harness their teaching competencies. This stage bridges theory and practice since it provides the
student teachers the clinical experiences in an actual school setting. This is a preparation for
them to assume and carry out effectively all the duties and responsibilities of a teacher.
All those directly involved in administering the internship or clinical practice in the
teacher education institutions and in the cooperating schools influence the quality of the student
teaching experience. For this reason, all concerned TEI officials and cooperating teachers both in
the public and private schools shall ensure that the students’ teachers are well prepared for their
eventual assumption as teachers. The support system shall come from the collaborative efforts of
the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) through the teacher education institutions {TEIs)
and the Department of Education (DepEd) through the regions, division offices and cooperating
public private schools.
1. Guidelines have been formulated to ensure that the student teachers get
maximum benefits from their student-teaching experience
As the final phase of teacher pre-service, internship provides the teaching intern
the necessary experience to gradually assume the role of teacher under the guidance of
cooperating teacher. The student teacher shall be trained to develop the habit of reflecting on and
process one’s experience and learn from it.
