PREFACE
I believe that education is the most essential asset in any one will have,
and one asset which has the greatest impact on the person and to everyone
around them. While almost every child has the opportunity to gain access the
secondary and elementary education, not everyone has the chance to be given
quality education, especially children disabilities and exceptionalities. Even
though these children are recognized as future models of the community, they
continue to be discriminated, misunderstood and left out by majority. As a future
education teacher, I have come to the right place to eliminate the misconception
about these children. My experience in off-campus training made me realize that
teaching children needs time patience, understanding, compassion, passion and
optimism. Teaching is a profession that one cannot be taken for granted,
sometimes it is frustrating and exhausting, but these are taken away by just oe
small smile of the child.
I present this portfolio for you to read about my philosophy of teaching and
experience during my practice teaching/Off – Campus Training. My goal is to
show you my strengths that would make me an effective teacher.

PRACTICE TEACHING
Rationale
This school-based teaching experience will provide focus and flexible linkage by
crossing three learning domains. First, the teacher preparation programs or the content
knowledge, colloquially known as the “what to teach.” Second, the professional
knowledge which includes the “whom to teach,” what to know about schooling, schools
and the people in them. Third, where much of the activity in the practicum relates is
knowledge and skills needed to function as capable and caring professionals, called
“how to teach”.
FS Practice Teaching 7
It is envisioned that during practice teaching these prospective teachers will be
exposed in all aspects of teaching such as delivery of instruction, management of a
class, and dealing with various types of learners, assisting the cooperating teacher, and
doing numerous teaching tasks.
Domain 4- Curriculum
FS Practice Teaching 8
7. Releases the pre-service teachers from any academic loads not
prescribed by the curriculum in the final year of internship.
C. Practicum Supervisor:
Pre-service teachers are invited guests in the cooperating schools and should
therefore note the following expectations:
FS Practice Teaching 9
1. During the practicum period, pre-service teachers are expected to
arrive at the cooperating school at a time that is expected of other staff
at the site, e.g. before flag ceremony. Likewise, departure times must
be consistent with what is expected of other staff. Attendance should
be reflected in the daily record or attendance logbook.
2. Pre-service teachers must ensure that they are available for school-
related after-hours activities and commitments.
3. During the practicum period, absence is only allowable for valid
reasons (e.g. illness) or compassionate reasons. Pre-service teachers
who are absent must notify the cooperating teacher by 8:00 in the
morning of absence and must also notify their TEI practicum
supervisor.
4. Appropriate professional behavior requires pre-service teachers to
display a cooperative attitude, be responsible, follow appropriate dress
codes, be punctual, respect confidentiality of information, ask
questions, return borrowed resources promptly and in good condition,
show initiative and generally be prepared to learn.
5. Use the cooperating school to observe, ask questions, gather data and
generally make sense of the world of teaching.
6. Meet all specified requirements, e.g.
Plan ahead for all teaching sessions and share written plans with
cooperating teachers for at least the amount of time indicated in the
guide-lines provided.
Make use of improvised or self-made materials preferably those
prepared in Educational Technology classes.
Use appropriate strategies to assess, record and report student
learning
Complete written evaluations for all teaching
Employ a range of strategies for engaging in critical reflection
Compile a relevant and useful professional folio.
Complete the entries of his/ her reflection journal
7. Become fully involved in the life of the setting and take on the full role
or a teacher, including the many non-teaching responsibilities.
8. Make a classroom-based research.
II. Department of Education (DepEd)
A. School Division Superintendent (SDS)
1. Reviews and subsequently approves request for cooperating schools;
2. Conducts orientation on student teaching with the TEIs inclusive of
the Dean, College Student Teaching Supervisors, and the School
Principals, Site Coordinators, Practicum Coordinators and Cooperating
Teachers;
3. Approves authority for memorandum of agreement (MOA) between
TEIs and DepEd.
B. The Cooperating Principal:
FS Practice Teaching 10
The role of the principal is to collaborate with TEI Practicum Supervisor in
facilitating placement of pre-service student teachers and provide the
social and professional aspects of administering practicum teaching.
FS Practice Teaching 11
3. Observes, coaches/mentors and evaluates the performance of the
student teacher
4. Models effective teaching and management techniques
5. Provides the student teacher the opportunity to teach independently
and collaboratively
6. Orients and guides pre-service teachers in the accomplishment of
DepEd forms (e.g. Form 1, Form 137-A, report card, promotion card,
etc.)
7. Provides the student teacher participation in co-curricular and
school/community activities; and
8. Completes a set of summative evaluation reports for each student
teacher.
PRACTICE TEACHING
Course Description
This course requires the pre-service teacher to prepare lesson plans and teach
them during regular classes under the supervision of a cooperating teacher and/or
practicum supervisors. The students are expected to progress from half day teaching to
whole day teaching. They will also write weekly reflections as part of their student
teaching journal. They should act according to their roles and responsibilities and
guidelines for student teaching.
Course Objectives:
At the end of the course, the pre-service teachers will:
FS Practice Teaching 12
1. Articulate a coherent personal teaching style appropriate to the learners
and the learning situations;
2. Apply knowledge and skills in teaching in a variety of settings;
3. Demonstrate talents and potentials for participating as a multi-disciplinary
individual working in the school community;
4. Collaborate with peers and other professionals;
5. Design a teaching portfolio for their context and roles, drawing upon the
educational philosophies, methods and principles of teaching.
6. Teach effectively for an extended period of time.
FS Practice Teaching 13
Course Requirements:
TEI Requirements/Guidelines
A. On Attendance to the Practicum Program
1. Practice Teaching is a six (6) unit course which requires a pre-service
teacher to stay in the cooperating schools for the whole day. It is expected
that the PSTs will teach a maximum of 3 hours per day for the first half of
the placement, and a maximum of six hours for the second half of the
placement.
2. The first week of every fielding is spent on orientation at the TEI and
DepEd School.
3. A BEED pre-service teacher must conduct actual teaching in any
elementary subjects while a BSED student must teach in his/her chosen
field of specialization. Pre-service teachers should be exposed to ideal as
well as adverse classroom situation.
4. Actual teaching is done for eight (8) of the fourteen weeks. The remaining
weeks are for orientation, final evaluation and clearance or completion of
requirements, attendance and job placement program of the TEI, for Post
Conferences and Completion and Submission of Practicum Portfolio.
FS Practice Teaching 14
5. A Pre-service teacher should have the opportunity to teach in his/her
major/minor or field of specialization and in all other subjects and in all
grade/year levels whenever possible.
6. Pre-service teachers are required to accomplish at least 12 actual lessons
with checked and approved lesson plans, instructional materials, and
observation forms (Form 178). They should be observed by the
cooperating teacher or the TEI practicum supervisor during these lessons.
The lesson plan must be made and submitted ahead of time, at least two
days before demonstration teaching. It should be discussed with the
cooperating teacher or the practicum supervisor before actual teaching.
7. Other teaching stints may take the form of remedial and substitute
teaching.
8. Besides actual teaching, the pre-service teacher undergoes additional
experiences in other teaching related functions such as: structuring the
classrooms, preparing, administering, and interpreting tests, computing
grades, filling up pertinent school forms, make home visits, attending
curricular and co-curricular activities, seminars and workshops.
9. The pre-service teacher is required to attend school functions and special
meeting required of him or her unless s/he is required to attend classes
enrolled in the TEI. S/He must fill in the daily time record regularly and
correctly. In case of absences, the equivalent days are to be made-up.

12. A student must maintain a Pre-service Teacher’s Portfolio. The portfolio is
a comprehensive and a well-organized record of contextual information,
planning, teaching, observation, samples of assessment, sample records
of progress and information, personal reflection, research and resources.
Many of these items are contextual so the pre-service teacher will need to
make decisions about what material is relevant and useful to the student’s
development as a beginning teacher.
B. Culmination of the Practicum Program
1. A pre-service teacher must submit all rating sheets/evaluation forms
completely filled in by the concerned school personnel.
2. S/He must finalize contents of student portfolio.

Appendix A: Practicum Reflective Journals
Reflective Journal 1: Planning and Implementation of Learning Programs
1. To what extent is your learning lesson outcomes achieved? How do you know?
What are the indicators?
As a teacher, when your students achieved the learning/lesson outcomes,
the best way to determine is to apply the art of questioning to your
students, it’s because through this, you can really catch their attention and
you can gather information or idea from your students as well.
2. How do you ensure that your learning activities are relevant to the topic? What
factors do you consider? Do you implement these effectively? How?
By means of having a more interactive learning activity, like in MAPEH
particularly in Music, some of your students really want to sing but most of
them are not, as a teacher, you need to consider their diverse learning style
for them to have a new knowledge or idea on how to learn music. Yes, I
applied this kind of practice effectively during my MAPEH class specifically
in music, when the time that I want, all of them sing this song, I noticed that
some of them really don’t know how to sing correctly, so I try them to divide
into three (3) the first group are the singing category, the second one are
action category, and the last, are the one who will guess what kind music.
3. Do your lesson plans contain all essential elements? What are these elements?
What do you do to consider the learners’ needs and capacity, available resources
and your teaching skills?
Yes, my entire lesson plan contains of essential elements like the
Objectives, Subject Matter, Procedures (four A’s), Evaluation and the
Assignment. In terms considering learners’ needs and capacity, I never try
to explain my lesson or topic in English speaking, because I already know
that some of them are weak in terms of comprehension or understanding,
so every time that I’ll ask, I always instruct them in “tag – lish” manner so
that they will easily understand the lesson. During my discussion, I always
call them to stand up or participate when in terms of asking questions or
clarification on the discussion. Also I used some reliable resources like
internet and other books.
4. What verbal and non-verbal communication skills do you apply to make your
teaching effective? What evidences will show that you are effective in what you
do?
Every time that I entered the class I always speak in English in giving
instructions and presenting the lesson, but sometimes when I want to give
them or ask some questions, I tried to speak in a vernacular manner for
them to understand those questions that was given to them. Sometime, my
hand gesture mannerism like moving my both hands clockwise while
explaining the lesson at the center portion in the class makes laugh inside
the class and it also gives them a positive result, because of this kind of
gesture, it makes them feel- free to participate and talk in front of the class.
6.How often do you make use of available instructional materials in teaching? What
evidences would show that these materials contribute to the attainment of your
lessons’ objectives?
Every time that I’ve discussed Music subject, I always used laptop, books
and of course construction paper/manila paper to make my discussion
really effective in terms of teaching. When the time that I want to show a
video presentation, I observed that some of my students really excited to
watched.
7. Comments/Other Learning Insights
As a teacher you need to catch their attention in terms of participation or oral
recitations for them to be not hesitant to participate in the class activity or
discussion. Teaching more than 40 students and the ten percent of them got
low score prior to our evaluation, makes you disappointed. I have learned
and realize that it is not easy to handle or manage them fairly with a full
knowledge by means of imparting or sharing and explaining the lesson well.
You must give emphasized or exert more effort in discussing the lesson, for
them to have a full understanding about or based on what you’ve discussed.
Aside from that, it is a challenge for me to teach a maximal number of
students with different types of learning ability. As a future teacher, it is very
essential form me to mastered and deliver the lesson effectively, so that our
learners wouldn’t easy to erase those learning that they obtained.
Appendix B
Performance 5 4 3 2 1
1 – Needs Improvement (75-79) The pre-service teacher is introduced to the elements and/or demonstrates only a basic level of
knowledge and understanding. S/He has yet to acquire skills for effective classroom teaching.
2 – Developing (80-84) The pre-service teacher demonstrates an increased knowledge and understanding of the elements.
S/He is able to demonstrate, with assistance, the significant elements in a classroom teaching or field
setting. S/He is able to evaluate, with assistance, the success of teaching performance. S/he has
still to improve on this element to improve teaching performance.
3 – Satisfactory (85-89) The pre-service teacher demonstrates satisfactory knowledge and understanding of the elements but
commits mistakes in some aspects. S/He is able to exhibit this element satisfactorily to perform a
classroom teaching with self-confidence but still has to exert more effort to improve teaching skills.
4 – Proficient ( 90-94) The pre-service teacher is able to demonstrate a substantial knowledge and understanding of the
element and has the competent ability to apply the elements in a field setting.
5 – Advanced/Excellent
(95-100) The pre-service teacher demonstrates a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the
element. S/He can consistently apply the elements for an effective classroom teaching. S/He can
also skillfully integrate the elements into an overall lesson. S/He can critically evaluate student
learning and teaching effectiveness in order to guide subsequent instruction.
1. What instructional materials have you used in your actual teaching? Have you
used them effectively? How?
Laptop – with the used of this, you can adjust the font’s styles, effects and
transition of your aid, Manila paper/construction paper – if ever there were
no projector or laptop, we can have used traditional visual aid, through
this, we can contribute knowledge and assess their learning process
towards students and teachers as well, Books – we can able to integrate
our topic by means of widening the learning process of the students and
the teacher as well.
2. At what point in the lesson did you present instructional materials? Why is there
a need to use them in those instances?
Every time that I have an activity, I always used some instructional
materials like cartolina and printed pictures to make my activities really
effective during their task. In presenting the lesson, I always make sure
that the instructional materials that I’ve used must reflect or connected to
the new topic that need to discuss.
3. Are your instructional materials interesting enough to arouse and sustain the
interest of the learners? What evidences would show that you have been
successful in ensuring their effectiveness?
Yes, of course those instructional materials that I used really catch their
attention and interest. Because aside from it is very clear to see those
visual aid particularly my penmanship at the back portion of the
classroom, I also include some pictures that needs to present in the
class, for them to have a realization on what particular image is this. I
noticed that most of my students have an interest to entered the
classroom and listen especially my subject MAPEH, because every time
that I asked a questions that is related to our topic, I always considered a
mother tongue in terms answering my question but not to the extent that
they’ll used it as a whole.
4. What two insights have you gained regarding the use of instructional materials?
As a teacher, you must provide learning materials that could suited and fit to
the level of the learner’s intelligences based instruction, instructional
materials is every important, it should be well-organized from left to right
arrangement, the penmanship must be bold and big enough for the students
to read clearly from first corner to the last corner of the chair or room and
make it sure that the student’s interest must be focus and captured.

2. Explain how you overcame two of the problems you encountered during
test preparation.
Those problem that I’ve encountered are not easy to resolved, it’s
because some of the learners during exam got low scores and I
don’t know where are there weak points and the best way that I
used or apply is to recalled or recapitulate the lesson that we’ve
been discussed last meeting and of course, I will conduct a
removal test for them to have a better grade.
3. What did you do to cater for the testing of slow learners, and of
advanced learners?
1. What measures have you taken to assure yourself that your test items
were clear and simple?
The measures that I’ve taken to assure myself that these test
items were able to produce results that are correct and more
focused on the learning objectives, is that every chapter quizzes
that I conducted, those test items that are correct will be
adopted/included to my test items, in that sense, the learners will
be given an advantage, it’s because he or she already knows not
only the questions but also the answer. and of course the
direction or instruction will be emphasized.
2. What problems have you encountered? How can you respond to them?
Those problem that I’ve encountered are not easy to resolved, it’s
because some of the learners during exam got low scores and I
don’t know where are there weak points and the best way that I
used or apply is to recalled or recapitulate the lesson that we’ve
been discussed last meeting and of course, I will conduct a
removal test.

2. If there were learners who did poorly in one subject area, what did you do to
address this?
If there are a lot of learners who have poor performance in one subject
area, the things that needs to be done in terms of responding to it is to
conduct a micro – teaching activity, either enhancement, remedial or
tutorial teaching, by means of this kind of teaching strategy, you can
possibly support those students who need special help or attention to
improve their performance in a particular subject, and after that if you want
to determine their level of understanding, try to apply formative or
summative assessment.

Reflective Journal 6: Self-Evaluation
1. What major problems did you encounter during your Practice Teaching?
The major problems that I’ve encountered during my practice teaching
are those difficulties like a proper used of some important elements of a
lesson plan, time management or having a minimal of time to teach a
particular topic, and classroom management or handling some students
in an organized/orderly manner with a positive environment.
2. What immediate actions or solutions did you make to solve these problems?
The actions or solutions that I’ve used to solve these problems is that
every time that I’ve discussed a new lesson I always apply a
recapitulation or recalling some past discussion for them to remember
what was our last topic that we’ve done to discussed, and before I’ll
proceed to our new discussion, I also applied a new activity before the
new topic. In terms of having a minimal time to teach the new lesson,
sometimes I never applied a more students learning activities or
student – centered to my section -Gold Grade - 9. And in a classroom
management, every time that I start the class, I always tell them to
arrange their chairs and of course pick some unnecessary things
inside their room.
3. What risks did you take during your practice teaching? Why? What
happened?
During my practice teaching experience, there were many risks that
I’ve encountered, and one of this is calling or giving punishment to
those students in Siocon National High School who display
misbehavior like changing their chairs to others, talking to his or her
seatmate while the discuss in front, etc. In order for them to keep
behave during my class discussion or session I usually let them to
stand in front of the class and say something about what they did
during my class hours.
4. What questions have arisen and major issues and /or concerns have
encountered? How did you resolve these matters?
Student – centered learning style, more on student’s interaction before,
during, and after the lesson, and always listen to your student’s opinion
or idea are those teaching style and techniques that I applied and also
my concerned during my practice teaching. I noticed that when the time
that I apply these strategies particularly the students – centered learning
style, or every time that I called somebody to answer those questions,
most of my students will not participate because they felt shame or guilt
or they do not want to do something because of shame or
embarrassment.
5. Did you consult with and/or ask advice from your cooperating teacher, TEI
practicum supervisors and other practicum mentors? What did you ask?
How did they respond?
Before I conduct a lesson proper to my learners, I ask my mentors or
cooperating teacher first for me to have an idea or information on what
are the important things that should be done to improve my lesson plan,
and of course after my demonstration, I will ask also to my Cooperating
teacher for some feedbacks on what or where are the things that are
lacking as well.

6. What is the most important learning insight did you have about teaching
that will surely inspire you in your chosen profession?
The most important learning insight that I’ve experience during my
practice teaching in Siocon National High School is that even though
there are some instances that our learners or students felt tired not just
only to my teaching strategy, but also to my personality during class
session, I’ll never stop exerting more effort to perform with willingness
and respond to them with a constructive criticism positively. As a future
teacher, you will always find ways to catch their attention, develop your
teaching style, more interactive discussion and having a good
personality that your students will gave you a good response or behavior
and also it will improve your teaching performance successfully.
