INTRODUCTION

Welcome to my portfolio. I am Jan Fhurt M. Arreglado, a fourth-year student


at South East Asian Institute of Technology Inc. taking up a Bachelor of Secondary
Education major in English.
When I was around my 10th grade that I appreciate education, and this taught me
to really study smart in order for me to be the best version of myself. And this helps
me to have a strong mind that I can achieve anything through what my mind sets to.
Now that I am a practice teacher, I can truly say that I am one step closer to my
dream to become a teacher. A future educator who pursues to achieve knowledge
and wisdom from the people who surrounds him.
Tupi National High School was my alma mater because I graduated here last
S.Y. 2019-2020 from Arts and Design track. This institution has instilled me the value
of taking education into the next level. Through them, I graduated with flying colors
and hailed as With Highest Honors of my batch. This really showed how they mould
me as an individual
Learning is a process that never ends. My experience at Tupi National High
School was unique; it was a great way to begin my dream of teaching and passing
on knowledge. The experiences I've had have opened my eyes to the noble nature
of the teaching profession. Seeing a teacher in action gave me a better
understanding of how a teacher could impact every student's life within the four walls
of the classroom. I was honored to complete my practice teaching journey there.

My 360 hours in the institution helped me become a person who values diversity
in the classroom, boundaries, and conflict because it allows both the students and
me, as their practice teacher, to grow and learn from it. For me, those 360 hours
were an unforgettable experience. Together with my students, I also developed
positive relationships with my cooperating teacher, other teachers, school
administrators, and fellow interns.
As I reflect on my experience, I can say that everything was worthwhile
because it allowed me to fully immerse myself and develop my skills in order to
become a successful teacher in the future. In order to pass the licensure
examination and become a professional teacher, this would be a great place to start.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

I would like to express my wholeheartedly thanks to the Almighty who have given
me the wisdom, courage, and heart to pursue what I have been dreaming since
young. I also want to express my immense gratitude to the following people for their
unwavering and undying support, encouragement, and precious time for the
accomplishment of my teaching internship.

academic environment, typically in a form of a paragraph. This can
be seen as persuasive and insightful essays and academic articles.
It is brief, concentrated, well-structured, and evidence based. Its
aim is to help the readers comprehension.

Features of Academic Writing

b. Avoiding rhetorical questions; and,
c. Avoiding “emotive language” that shows biases.

That clause e.g., It could be the case that …, It might be
suggested that…, There is hope that…
To- e.g., It may be possible to get…, It is vital to
clause+adjective develop…, It is useful to study…

Example:
Sentences NOT OBSERVING Sentences OBSERVING

The commitment to some of the It may be said that the
social and economic concepts was commitment to some of the

C. Abstraction
The teacher will introduce the topic to the class by defining interpersonal
communication and interview.
Interpersonal communication – it is a verbal and non-verbal
communication of facts, ideas, and feelings between two or more people.
Speech, facial expressions, body language, and gestures are often used in face-
to—face communication. The efficiency in which one transfers messages to
others is used to measure one’s interpersonal communication skills.

Example of Interpersonal Communication


 Interview – a formal discussion in which one party asks questions
and the other responds. To put it another way, an interview is a
one-on-one conversation between and interviewer and an
interviewee. An interview is also a structured and purposeful
consultation. The interviewers’ aim in this contact situation is to
obtain clear pieces of information from the interviewee.

Guidelines in Conducting an Effective Interview


1. Plan and prepare.
2. Explain the purpose of an interview.
3. Ask them if they have any questions before you both get started with
the interview.
4. Ask one question at a time.
5. Encourage responses.
6. Take down notes.
7. Provide transition between major topics.
8. Don’t lose control of the interview.
9. Don’t forget to say, “Thank you”.

Example: Listed below are scenarios of instances where interview is


applicable.

A. Screening for a job -there is an interviewer who asks the


interviewee if he/she is qualified or a job.
B. Making up stories – the interviewer asks his/her respondent/s for
certain details for the stories to be created.
C. Counselling – the counsellor asks his/her client of his/her thoughts
in order to address the problem.
D. Receiving complaints – the complainant gives the details based on
the questions to be asked by the interviewer.
E. Writing articles – for example when making sports news, the
reporter will ask the player on how they win the game. The article
will rely on the answers given by the player.

characteristics that makes someone famous for being right, precise, or
exact. It is a condition or quality of being True, correct, or exact. However,
still welcomes small mistakes.
In writing News report, you start by providing simple information in just a
few sentences, which is known as a news headline. The key idea of a
news story is stated in a news headline, which is a word or a sentence.
In the lead or opening of each story, the reporter tells the readers the most

C. Abstraction
The teacher will ask the students to read the objectives and will introduce

internal conflict.
Conflict – the central struggle between opposing individuals and
forces. It is a problem or disagreement that the characters are dealing
with. In a literary selection is essential in keeping the interest of the
readers. It creates tension and suspense the plot, making it more
interesting. It is a fire that drives the story. Without conflict, there would
be no interesting points in the story for the readers to follow.
There are two types of conflict – external and internal.

External conflict refers to the conflict that arises between a person


and an external force, such as between characters, between character
and a society, or between a character and an uncontrollable event.
Internal conflict – within a single character – may include Man vs. Self
(psychological). It depicts the main characters personality as well as
the problem he or she creates.

Examples:
External Conflict Internal Conflict
1. Demonstrations against the 1. An individual’s decisions

lightning strikes her house, and she
smells fire.

EXTERNAL CONFLICT IN A LITERARY SELECTION

Man vs man, man vs. nature, man vs society, man vs technology, and
man vs supernatural are the five primary form of external conflict.

Man vs Man - occurs when two characters ague or disagree with each
other.
Example:
 Man vs man is presented in the short story by Rony Diaz “The
Centipede”. The story is about between the two siblings, Eddie
and Delia, who grew up hating each other. Delia beat Eddie’s
pet dog Biryuk. As his revenge, he threw a centipede to his
sister’s lap which scared her so much.

Man vs Nature- is a form of conflict in which a character is troubled by


a natural occurrence. Characters are threatened or tormented by
natural forces such as storms and animals.
Examples:
 Victims of typhoons or earthquakes.
 People fighting wild animals.
 The struggle of a character with the cold on a stormy weather.

Man vs society- refers to the conflict between the main character and
the main society where he/she lives.
Examples:
 The criminals resisting law enforcement officers.
 The thief fleeing from the cops.
 The main characters in the story Romeo and Juliet were
forbidden to marry because they came from two rival families.
Their families are enraged by the possibility of their marriage.
Man vs Technology – a literary term that describes the struggle
between a fictional character and some kind of man-made invention.
Example:
A great example of man vs technology conflict is Philip K. Dick’s Do
Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Here’s a quote from it:
 ‘Do you have an information that there’s an android in the cast?
I’d be glad to help you, and if I were an android would I be glad
to help you?’ ‘An Android,’ he said, ‘doesn’t care what happens
to another android. That’s one of the indications we look for.’
‘Then,’ Miss Luft said, ‘you must be an android.’

Man vs Supernatural – A conflict occurs when find himself or herself


pitted against a vengeful god or powerful supernatural force.
Example:
A scene from “Ibong Adarna” is a great example:
 Don Juan’s fight against 7- headed serpent to save Leonora, the
sister of Donya Juana.

D. Application
The teacher will display six boxes in front of the class with types of conflict
written on it. Each student will be given a strip of paper with a situation
written on it. The students will be called one by one to come in front to
read the situation in the paper strip and drop it inside the box where
he/she thinks it belong.
IV. Evaluation
A. TRUE or FALSE. Write the word TRUE if the statement is correct and
write FALSE if otherwise. Write your answers on the space before each
number in a ½ sheet of paper.
__1. Conflict is known as the struggle or the problem that the characters in
a story encounter.
__2. Internal Conflict happens between a character and an outside force.
__3. External conflict occurs within the character’s self.
__4. Man vs society happens when a character has a struggle between
laws or beliefs of the people in the place which they live in.
__5. Fighting against a harmful animal is one example of man vs himself.

Title: Ways to Increase a Student’s Attention Span
Author: David Reeves

One of the most challenging parts of becoming a teacher especially in


lower year level is the short attention span of the learners. They cannot last
long seating in a chair to accomplish their assigned tasks. From the article of
David Reeves, a Marketing Director of Grounds for Play, he proposed some
strategies that might help increase the attention on span of the learners and
help them become focus on doing their tasks at school.

 Include Physical Activity-give the learners a break for active play like
bouncing a ball, quick stretching or jumping jacks before giving them
another task.
 Adjust time Frames- break content into smaller time intervals, avoid
discussing the whole content simultaneously. For instance, 15 minutes
discussion, 5 minutes break then proceed to another 15 minutes
of discussion and break for a little and so on.
 Play Memory Games- memory games help one to hone that focus for
kids in a fun way, examples of memory games are red-light-green-light,
I-spy or Simon Says, this game forces a child to concentrate
and increase attention.
 Rate (and change) Task- sometimes learners do not pay
attention because the task is too hard, by that allow students to rate the
task from 1-10 and when they give 8 out of 10, ask them what they
wanted to change to make the task bearable.
 Remove Visual Distractions- the environment of the classroom should
not be overwhelmed with visuals. If there are visuals that distracts the
learners focus and attention, try decluttering them.

The abovementioned strategies are some ways to help our learners to be


attentive. However, I highly believe that there is no such potion or magical
formula to change our learners overnight, from being inattentive to being
focus and engage. I still highly believe that this kind of attitude of them are
innate at their age. Therefore, as teacher an immense patience and
understanding is highly needed. It takes an extra thought, time and effort in
our part to bring significant change for our learners.

Title: 2 Ways to Bring Games into Your Classroom
Author: Hubert Ham

I might say that one of the challenges that teachers frequently encountered is
the problem with students’ engagement and interaction and today it worsens
the fact that our mode of teaching has shifted from face-to-face into online
learning. From the article written by Hubert Ham, he suggested the use of
games as a new tool and techniques to engage learners and at the same time
assess them. In his work, he elaborated the difference of the two terms,
gamification, and game-based learning.
Gamification- it is where some elements of the games are added into a non-
game activity. Example for this is alternating the instruction of the non-game
activities into the mechanics of the chosen game.
Advantages of Gamification can engage both intrinsic (pleasure and fulfilment)
and extrinsic (recognition and rewards) motivation.
Teacher can take control of the activity because he/she is the one who created
it.
In the part of the teacher, it can also engage their creativity in new ways and
allow them to explore more exciting approaches for learning.
Game-based Learning- it uses games such as existing boards, social or video
games to teach the content in an engaging way.
You leverage the content of a game to accomplish your desired learning
outcomes. Advantages of Game-based Learning Can access a various ed-tech
tools that will fit the content of the lesson. Costs are relatively low, plenty of
video games in YouTube are easily accessible. There are plenty of specialized
games to choose from, such as video, card game or board game etc.

WEEKLY
JOURNALS
Week 1: March 21-23

On my first day being a practice teacher, we were briefed first by the


Department Head of what to do and to expect during out teaching internship.
My partner and I was specifically informed by the Head Teacher that we will
immediately be handling and conduct a lesson for our cooperating teacher.

We immediately went to our cooperating teacher’s advisory class and


was given all the topics we will be teaching. Sinc our cooperating teacher was
chosen as a Regional Schools Press Conference (RSPC) coach, she would not
be able to go with us in conducting our classes. Nonetheless, she gave us the
needed materials, information and things we needed for our first day as a
practice teacher.

On the second day, we have our cooperating teacher check the lesson
plan we have prepared for that day. There are some corrections ad revisions
needed but I am glad that the second day went well. On the third and last day
of class or the week, we prepared lesson plan, have it check by our CT, and
teach as usual.

The first week was an adjustment phase. I wasn’t able to have a good
night sleep because I keep on worrying how to teach properly and how to
improve myself. I am a little intimidated by the students specially in 7 STE A
since I knew that the cream off the crop of the whole grade 7 students is in that
section. Nonetheless, the first week went well.
Week 2: March 27-31

The second week was a bit different than what happen in the first week.
On first week, focus on preparing our lesson, teaching and guiding grade 7
students. On one hand, the second week was different because we were
assigned temporarily to different CT’s and handle different grades and
subjects.

I was assigned to handle STEM and HUMMS classes for the whole week.
At first, I am worried that the classes were hard to handle since they are
different in terms of age, grade and behavior compared to the grade 7 students
I am usually handling. However, when I entered their rooms, it was different. I
did not feel out of place at all. The students welcomed me and converse with
me from time to time. Although there are still differences compared to grade 7
when it comes to their more matured behavior and height.

The good thing is that I don’t have to teach and prepare a lesson plan for
them since their teacher already gave them an activity to finish by the end of
the week. I only must make sure that the students are not going out place. I
was also assigned to supervised them while they are competing the activities
assigned to them the entire time I am inside their classroom.

For the entire week of interacting with the students of STEM 11 and
HUMMS 11, we were able to form a bond where whenever we bum each other
on the hallway we greeted each other. Over all, the week was fulfilling and
enjoyable
.

Week 3: April 03-04

This week, I was back to teaching my usual grade 7 students. I prepared


lesson plans, and PowerPoint presentation to make sure that I utilizes
technology and since they have television inside their classroom it was more
convenient for me and the students since I don’t have to write my lesson on a
manila paper or on the board.

I realize that having a TV inside a classroom is more convenient for the


teacher. We can present presentation, play a vide, and make the lesson more
interactive with the students. I can really see that the students are well focus
with the lesson whenever I use PowerPoint in presenting my lesson. I guess it
was because technology pique their interests more than using the traditional
way of presenting the lesson. I decided to always present my lesson through
PowerPoint presentation as it is more convenient for me as well and I could
save time instead of writing the topic on the whiteboard or blackboard.

We only have two school days for this week since the Holy Week is
approaching. I have to make sure to teach all the things I needed to teach and
make sure that the students understood the topic fully. This is also where I
was able to enhance my time management skills and be more resourceful.

I can say that this week was fruitful and enjoyable. I learned to manage my
time, use all the resources available, and interact with the students as well.
Week 4: April 11 – 14

We only have four school days this week. I started the week reviewing the
last weeks lesson with the students as their third quarter exam would be next
week. I was told by my CT to review all the past lessons for third quarter.

To make the review lesson with the students easier, I made a PowerPoint
presentation of all the past lessons to make it convenient during the
discussion as I only have to click for the next slide to appear with the lesson to
discuss. Since I started being a practice teacher in the middle of the third
quarter, I had to study their previous lessons to have an effective review
discussion with the students. Good was that my CT gave me a printed copy of
their previous lessons.

After the reviewing the past lessons with the students, we had a
summative test for me to gauge their understanding and knowledge of the
lessons which would be included in their third quarter exam. I notice that
students from higher section did a good job with their results, on one hand,
the lower sections needed more attention and careful reviewing to make sure
they would be able to remember the past lessons and give a good result
during third quarter examination.

This week might be tiring yet fulfilling at the same time as I am seeing
students improving and giving me good results so far.
Week 5: April 18-20

This week the atmosphere inside the classrooms is a bit chaotic as it was
the exam week and passing of projects for the third quarter. As usual, on the
18th off April, I had the students review their previews lesson as the start of
their exam would April 19 and I have to make sure that the students are in
good condition both mentally and physically.

My cooperating teacher informed me if I want to be a proctor for their


exam and as I wanted to experience being a proctor, I agreed without scruples.
My cooperating teacher then gave me instructions about what to do during the
exam and how to make sure that there would be no trouble during the
examination. I was glad that my cooperating teacher have me the chance to
experience being a proctor.

During the examination day, I assisted my cooperating teacher in handing


out the examination papers to the students and answer questions that the
students could not understand. I also helped my cooperating teacher make
sure to monitor the students while they are answering their answer sheets to
avoid unnecessary noise and cheating.

Since the advisory class of my cooperating teacher in 7 STE A, I noticed


that the students were well behaved during the examination. Ater collecting
the student’s answer sheets, we usually give them time to at least browse their
notebooks or books for their next subject’s examination.
Overall, this week was fruitful and full of new experiences being a practice
teacher.
Week 6: 24-28

On the first day of the week, we checked the student’s examination paper
and recorded their results. A new experience was also introduced to me by my
cooperating teacher. It was to get the ratio of the students who got the wrong
answer in each item of the exam to determine if the teacher have to re-exam
the students.

Experiencing new things for me is like opening a new world’s door. I get
to learn new things and earn new knowledge. It is the same with what I have
just experience on the first paragraph. It’s like sailing in dee ocean and seeing
new marine species for the first time. It’s overwhelming but one you get use it;
it’s going to be like a normal day in the park.

After two days of checking and recording the student’s exams, I was
tasked to continue teaching for the fourth quarter for a day since my
cooperating teacher will be practicing the students for their speech choir
competition on Friday. At first, I only focus on teaching, but on the later art of
the week I was assigned to teach and practice the students for the speech
choir competition.

Practicing with them was really fun, we get to know each other more, we
laugh whenever we commit mistakes with our formation. Though I am not an
artistic person, I was able to still create steps and formations for the students.
It’ a whole new experience again.

I remember our late dean Sir Lorenzo keep on saying that teachers are
resourceful. I experienced and can attest to that as I have proven that being a
teacher, you are not just teaching lesson, you are touching lives and imparting
knowledge in different ways using different medium.

Although we did not win, the closeness of our relationship built during
practice will forever be part of my life.
Week 7: May 02 – 05

On this week, there are no other extra-curricular activities, so I focus only


in making lesson plan, instructional materials, and teaching. I feel like I am
improving every day and being more confident in presenting my lesson in
front of the students while my cooperating teacher is at the back supervising
us.

For the week, my routine is almost the same. Entering the school,
preparing my lesson for the day, teach and check the student’s quizzes or
activities. I was also able to form a good relationship with my cooperating
teacher as we discussed the next lesson and where to get more references.
She also taught me how to make it easier and less time consuming whenever
you are teaching using manila paper or cartolina by using double sided tape.

Aside from that, my cooperating teacher also taught me how to use notes
in my PowerPoint presentation to make sure that I will not forget any ideas I
want to ass to my explanation. It was an eye opener for me. This week has
been productive as I have learned a lot from my cooperating teacher.

I would use those tips and ideas to make my teaching career easier yet
productive.
Week 8: May 02-12

This week, as usual I teach the three sections I am handling. My daily


routine is like this: on the first period, I am teaching grade 7 STE A. Teaching
is very easy and enjoyable with them, though sometimes they tend to be so
serious but once I cracked a joke in the middle of the discussion they will
burst into laughter and will make the learning session lighter and more
interactive.

After my first period with the STE A, I will then process to my next class
which is the grade 7 BEP D. This is the challenging part as most of the
students are having trouble reading and comprehending a single syllable
word, what more if it is a sentence. This is where most of my strength was
spent as I must teach them individually with their reading, writing, and
comprehension. Although it was hard, but it also gave me a feeling of
fulfillment whenever a student improved.

My next period would start after one hour of rest after BEP D. It gives me
time to breath and reflect on how I should improve the students learning and
knowledge. It’s challenging but I like challenges as it lit the fire within me to
strive and conquer those challenges.

My third period for the day would BEP B. They are easier to teach than
BEP D as the students are mixed. Some are having trouble reading while most
are already good and bright students. Nonetheless, whatever section I am
teaching, I always felt that responsibility in my shoulder to hep and change the
lives of my students.
Week 9: May 15 – 19

This week was a bit different as the students only have to spend three
days at school and two days having Alternative Delivery Modality (ADM)
starting this week. As usual I teach from Monday to Tuesday, the only
difference is that I make sure to utilize each time spent with them so I could
explain the lesson more and for the students to fully understand it.

Before the end of Thursday, I make sure to give the students the activities
and topics they have to read and answer during ADM (Thursday and Friday).
My cooperating teacher even added me to the group chat of 7 STE A so I could
just sent the activities that students have to do during ADM. For BEP D, I
usually just let them copy a story or poem in their notebooks and give some
questions for them to answer during Thursday and Friday. The BEP B created
a group chat where I could also send their activities and for them to ask
questions if there are some things they don’t understand.

Again, it’s a new experience for me.


Week 10: May 22-26

Since Alternative Delivery Modality (ADM) started last week, my


cooperating teacher and I made some adjustments when it comes to the length
and number of activities, we should provide to the students for us to utilize all
the available time possible.

What we did is send the topic to the student on Thursday and Friday and
have them coy it in their notebooks and have to be checked the next Monday.
This way we can just proceed with the discussion since the students have a
copy of the topic in their notebooks. It also helped us managed our time better.

I also inform my cooperating teacher that I only have one week left as a
practice teacher. This way, my cooperating teacher can give me an instruction
on what to finish and what to submit to make sure that the transition of work is
as smooth as butter.

My cooperating teacher told me that we won’t have a final demonstration


with the master teachers and head teacher, but we can still have our final
demonstration with her as our evaluator.
Week 11: May 29 – 31

This week would be my last week being practice teacher at Tupi National
High School. I am rearing for my final demonstration as well as for out retrieval
program. My co – practice teachers are discussion and planning about the
retrieval program, and we also discussed about the foods and certificates for
our beloved cooperating teachers.

The day of my final demonstration arrived. I am a bit nervous since this is


my first time being in my teaching demonstration at Tupi National High School.
My cooperating teacher told me to just think and act like this is just a normal
day teaching the students. It’s just funny that while I am having my final
demonstration some students from other grades ask if they could solicit for
one of their classmates. I just let them in as advised by my cooperating
teacher. This interruption had loosened up my nerves and was able conduct
my final demonstration splendidly.

The next day, we had our retrieval program. My co – practice teachers


invited our respected CTs to receive their certificated and our token of
appreciation for accommodating and guiding us during our time as their
practice teachers.
After the retrieval program, I thought that was it and the day will pass but,
on the afternoon, the grade 7 STE A surprised me with song, cake, balloons,
and lots of messages as I am saying goodbye to them. It brought me to tears
since I was not expecting it.
This is the day I will end my practice teaching journey and as the Sir
Francis of my grades 7-STE A, BEP B, and BEP D students. I learned a lot and I
will bring these learning until I became a full pledge professional teacher.

lessons and understand them is a must and should never be neglected. Aside
from studying and mastering the lessons, we, as a future teacher, should
expect unexpected questions and know how to handle it.
It is our role and responsibility to make sure every student inside the
classroom understands the topic. We can use creative and catchy title for our
activities, one that can relate and catch the attention of the learners. Used
creative visuals especially if you are using PowerPoint to make the lesson fun
and interactive. Using the game-based learning approach is also very helpful
in engaging your students in your discussion and activities.
Make learning fun and innovative!

TUPI NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL

Tupi National High School (TNHS) is a public secondary school in Tupi,


South Cotabato. It was founded in 1966 as Tupi Barangay High School.
At present, Tupi NHS provides DepEd-recognized High School program to
students from Grades 7 to 12. The Senior High School (SHS) tracks offered by
the school are Academic, Arts and Design, Sports, and Technical-Vocational-
Livelihood (TVL).
As a practice teacher at Tupi National High School, I can say that this
school promoted inclusivity, equality, and gender-sensitive environment. This
school exhibits a great learning ground for learners to have a better future.

The school has been the second home for the students. It is where they
develop their potentials, behavior, and how they interact with others. As a
teacher, it is our responsibility to ensure that the school is physically and
psychologically conducive to learners. As I immersed myself in the teaching
world, I realized how essential the condition of the learning environment is to
the student’s welfare.
It always amazes me how the school I was deployed to give all the best
conditions for the learners both physically and psychologically. The
classrooms, the facilities, and the environment makes it conducive to the
learners to learn. Rooms which are well lit, well-ventilated classrooms.
The school may not as big as other schools out there, but the quality and
importance they gave to the student’s well-being and learning was tantamount
to some of the prestigious schools out there. Facilities such as the library,
dance room, clinics, speech lab, and many more catered everything that the
students needed to discover and unleash their potentials.
The canteens can be seen everywhere, and it showed how the school
gives importance to the student’s diet. Almost all the classrooms have its own
television to make the teaching and learning more interactive and engaging to
the students. The building was study with fire extinguishers in every corner.
Over all, the school, the teachers, and non-teaching school personnel at Tupi
National High School deserve all the praises and salary raise.

This is grade 7-STE A students. They are almost


good with everything, a well-rounded students.
There are times where they can be too active but
controllable. This is where discussions are alive as
everyone has something to say or ideas. You do
not have to worry calling random students and not
be able to get something during discussion or even
quizzes.

This is grade 7- BEP A. This classroom has


learners with varied learning capabilities. Some
can catch up with the lesson and be able to
participate actively during discussion, while some
needs further instruction and attention to be able
to comprehend the lesson.

This is grade 7- BEP D. This class also consists of


learners with different learning capability.
Reading and writing have been a challenge for the
most number off students in this class. Behavior is
a bit uncontrollable but sometimes they are easy
to be coaxed into behaving.
DOMAIN THREE: DIVERSITY OF
LEARNERS

DOMAIN REFLECTION

Each person was born unique. With the schools adapting to the
heterogeneous sectioning where students are grouped regardless of gender,
age, and background, some might find it difficult to blend in. Learners are
diverse in their own ways, some are advance learners, some are slow learners,
and some might have deficiencies or special needs, nonetheless they are all
learners and have been accepted and included.
Teaching in Tupi National High School and handling grade 7 learners, I
encountered learners of different genders, intelligence, backgrounds, and
capabilities. It was a challenge for me in choosing what approach and style of
teaching I should use to cater the learner’s needs. I handled three grade 7
sections. My first period in the morning was Grade 7 – STE A where learners
learning capability is high and can follow with the lesson and discussion with
just a single instruction. It was where I can fully unleash my teaching skills
and showcase different teaching approaches, however the next period was
challenging as the learners are a bit uncontrollable when it comes to their
behavior and some of them can be categorized as slow learners where you
have be extra in giving instructions and explaining the lesson. My third period
was easier to handle than the second period as the learners are active through
with varied learning capability.
As a pre-service teacher, I learned how essential inclusivity is to the
learners. It’s also best to use scaffolding approach when handling students
with varied learning capabilities. By using scaffolding approach during activity
session, we can group slow learners with advance learners or students who
are more knowledgeable whom can guide and understand them.

CURRICULUM
AND PLANNING
DOMAIN REFLECTION

The pandemic which lasted for two years, has a significant impact on our
daily lives, particularly on the student’s academic and behavioral
development. This affected a lot of aspects on their learning development
which resulted in some serious problem with their performance academically.
In my practice teaching journey, I encountered some students who are
still having trouble reading and writing specially in English. Which was why
the DepEd and the school has developed a curriculum to help solve this issue.
The remedial classes program is one of those, instead having their vacant
time, the teachers have to still enter the class and conduct a remedial class.
During remedial session, the teacher will teach either numeracy, reading, or
writing to the class.
Planning the curriculum is a challenging task as the teacher and school
personnel have to collaborate and consider different angles to make sure that
of would cover or target the problem holistically as learners have different
levels off learning capabilities.

DOMAIN FIVE: ASSESSMENT AND
REPORTING

DOMAIN REFLECTION

As a pre-service teacher, I’ve been immersed in some of the teachers


work. From checking the attendance, recording the result of student’s quizzes
and performances to the preparation of some school forms such as SF2.
Reviewing the student’s records and spotting the missing activity of the
student is easy. What made it hard is when you are reviewing tons of records,
it’s drying to the eyes and confusing. I have not tried being in the classroom
while my CT is awarding the certificate of honors for the quarter but based on
what I have observed, from some of pre-service teacher I had a conversation
with, it feels good awarding the certificate knowing that you heled some of
these students and taught them.
Nonetheless, the experience I had with preparing the lesson plan,
facilitating the student’s quizzes to recording their result gave me some
insights and realization on how the teachers are doing it. My CT showed me
some school forms and taught me how to prepare them and their purpose
gave me an idea on how many paper-works a teacher should complete to make
sure that everything the students does was recorded.
My CT also showed me how they usually handle students with attendance
issues because at the end of the day, it will always be the teachers who
shoulders all the responsibility of their students learning. The school is the
second home, and the teachers are the second parents.

in partnership with Provincial Health Office. This

practice teachers. Its aim was to educate and give
awareness to teenage pregnancy and sexually

DOMAIN SIX: COMMUNITY AND
LINKAGES

DOMAIN REFLECTION

As a practice teacher, being able to understand the connection between


the community and student’s activity inside the classroom is essential. By
having the knowledge and understanding about how the community
influenced the students, we would be able to guide them better to be a
responsible, sensible, and good citizen of our country.
Community linkage provides a better experiential learning for the students.
As they say, learning is catalyzed when learners see and experience them on
their own. Also, as students and teachers share the same community, they
become sensitive with each other’s situation and upbringing. The community
allows the teaching-learning process to be more contextualized and bring the
learning content close to the student’s heart. On the other hand, for
professional engagements, there are already online webinars, symposiums,
and international activities a pre-service/ teacher can join. Also, it is important
for teachers to understand and fulfill their obligations in upholding
professional ethics, accountability and transparency to promote professional
and harmonious relationships with learners, parents, schools and the wider
community. In summary, the teaching-learning cycle is too big for a one-man
job. Linkage with others allows teachers to establish roles with stakeholders
and heighten student learning and success.
Joining and listening to the seminar gave me a new understanding on how
to educate the students and advised them to be more proactive in their
community.

and activities as well as interacting with

DOMAIN SEVEN: PERSONAL
GROWTH AND PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOMENT

DOMAIN REFLECTION
For my personal growth and professional development, let me share that
despite being a digital native, there are a lot of things I need to learn and
relearn. The influx of advancements and updates on applications and
programs might be on a different scale of what I have learned back then. Also,
the way we are going to utilize and employ ICT will be very different now.
Before, I was using the computer’s interface as a student, but now, I am going
to use it as a teacher. They are different in a sense that in the shoes of a
teacher, I will make use of online applications and webpages to show and
facilitate the teaching and learning process. The quote, you cannot teach what
you do not know, somehow apply to this. I cannot employ and use online
applications which I am not familiar with, it might happen that I am using an
application in the teaching and learning process that both I and the students
are not aware of. It would then be a waste of time and effort. Hence, as I go
near to the teaching profession and professionally develop myself, I would
dedicate some of my time studying and updating my pool of applications and
resources. I would engage in curating resources and applications that would
someday help me in the teaching and learning process that I would engage in.
As I am still in the process of becoming professional, I try to meet what is
expected of me, it includes written standards, expectations, and even personal
or professional qualities or competencies. As I am doing right now, I try to
develop most of these because I do believe that one day, these traits and
qualities would help me better my provision and facilitation of the teaching
and learning cycle. Hence, I can say, upon doing some reflection and
realization, I have acquired some traits and have met a few competencies
already. But, in a scale, I am yet to achieve the very top of the scale in terms of
manifesting its attribution both internally and externally. So, I dedicate to
continue learning both as a person- for personal growth and as a teacher- for
professional development.

MY TEACHING
PHILOSOPHY
AS BEGINNING
TEACHER
TEACHING PHILOSOPHY AS
BEGINNING TEACHER

Roy T. Bennett reminds us that we are all different and we conquer our own
style and we shine on our own time, he quoted “You Were born to stand out,
stop trying to fit in”. In education, this implies the multitude diversity
among the students. The idea that no shoe fits all; is something that a teacher
should always remember and apply in his or her journey in teaching.

As a student training to be a teacher, I strongly adhere to this philosophy:


“The very purpose of teaching is facilitating self-teaching at the students’ own
pace”. I started to think and revisit as to what really is my philosophy as a
professional in the future? Upon encountering multiple reflections, analysis
and field observations, I started to have doubts as to what and where should I
anchor my philosophy? Either as a student, son, family member, a community
member, or just an individual who cares for himself. And then I realize, I’m in
my fourth year and later I will become a teacher in training, and it should be
right that I should establish (re-establish) my philosophy as a teacher in the
future! And then I come to think of it, what is really my philosophy as a student
training to be a teacher? And then the fundamental reason why I joined
teacher education came into my mind. My teachers taught me to be who I am,
develop my skills and potential on my own time, and be the best version of
myself whenever I can, and not to be influenced by the pressure the society
dictates. That really touched me and inspired me to become one of them! And
now, here I am! Journeying the field of wrinkles.

Let me give a backgrounder on the very essence of why I choose to journey


through the field of wrinkles and stress myself over countless lesson plans
with very little sleep. It’s simple, I was able to see and witness from my
previous and current teachers the happiness or joy of seeing every student
succeed whilst undermining personal and professional growth. If my memory
serves me right, my teacher once told us that we should not compare
ourselves. Instead, bloom whenever we are to bloom and don’t be pressured
by others' success, because we all have our own time. Now here comes the
reiteration, my teacher reminded us that this journey and field we embarked on
will not require us to be perfectionist to the extent that our school uniform is
super tidy that when you bump into it, you might bounce off. Now, we laughed
a little during the discussion and stared at each other because- this sounds
familiar! Now why am I telling you this as a part of my philosophy? It’s simple,
during that time, I got to assess and evaluate what kind of teacher I will
become in the future? Because my teacher really made a point that we are
teachers to be and not perfectionists or intellectual monsters to be. And then I
got to think of my philosophy again. I should live, act, and perform to the best
of my ability to wisdom out and channel a good facilitator or ignitor of a
psyche who can also encourage self-teaching at the students’ own pace!
