Week # 7
September 22 - 26, 2014

Rated

My accomplishment/s:

       This week I had a lot of accomplishment these were my sixth weekly journal, four rated lesson including my rated lesson with my supervising Instructor, I helped my teacher in checking the summative of the students as well as their travelogue. I had also my pre-conference with my supervising instructor for my rated lesson.

My Significant Experience/s:

       This week is the week for me because I had my rated demonstration with my supervising instructor, and it fells different with the other week. For my rated lesson with my critic teacher I felt the nervousness an hour before my demonstration but with my supervising instructor it is the day before and until the time of my demonstration. It is funny because I am just going to teach like what I did the previous meetings with my students and yet I am feeling like it was still my first time, maybe that's the impact of having your supervising instructor observing you, but still I am thankful that I was able to deliver my lesson according to how I planned it.

My Insight/s

      This day we had a talk me, my critic teacher, one of my student and his father about a certain matter that happened, during our conversation I got to observe this student and what I noticed is that when he was with his father he seems to be the most obedient child. But when we are inside the room he is the worst student. I also came to know that he is not living with his parents, he have a father but not with him and the mother is out of the picture, with this I got to understood the child's behavior and realized and accepted the fact that in every students actions lies a different hard experiences and set ups that made them act the way they do.

My Problem/s:

      The only problem I had this week was is on how to have a smooth demonstration. When I only I had a day to prepare for my demonstration. I have my lesson, Wednesday and I will demonstrate it on Thursday given that span of time I hard time thinking of ways I could do to deliver it well. Another thing is that I couldn't really think of something because I am so nervous I couldn't make my senses work.

My Solution/s:

      I guess with this kind of problem the only solution I could think of is to believe in myself and the thing I need to do , for me to be prepared and at ease with the things i need to do.

My Goal/s for next Week:

      For next week I am Aiming for a five rated and well demonstrated lessons.

Week # 6

September 2 - 5, 2014

My First

My Accomplishment/s:

         This weeks I  submitted my weekly journal number two together with my minute notebook, furthermore, I also managed to go to school early and avoided being late. In September 2, 2014 I wrote my first lesson plan about the story How My Brother Leon Brought home a wife and let it be check by my critic teacher the following day September 3, 2014, by September 4, 2014 I executed my lesson. After my execution my critic teacher and I had our post conference wherein my critic teacher share to me the things that I need to improve and the things that I'm good at that helped me in improving my ways for the next lesson.I also did my second lesson plan and let my critic teacher check before I execute it during the last day of the week September 5, 2014, wherein she gave suggestions and ways on will I improve my lesson plan to cater to needs of the students.

My Significant Experience/s:

         This week I was given the opportunity to deliver my first lesson in two sections consecutively.  I was given the chance to experience how it feels to become a teacher, and it feels good knowing you did what your capable of for the students.I got to understand how students feel when in front of a teacher during recitation considering what I am as a student before not only that I also got to understand how some of my teacher felt before when students were not listening, disrespectful and arrogant portraying that they know everything that you are talking about.

My Insight/s

       Teaching is a passion not a profession. Teaching is not something that you do because you are just required to do so, not just because you are being paid for doing so. It is more of doing because you love to do it, it's something that you really wanted to do, with these as a teacher you need to forget about yourself and always think about your students. How will you teach them. How will you make them value the importance of education and how can you promote their potential to become agent of change.

My Problem/s:

     The problems I encountered this week was I can't handle my students properly. I had a hard time of getting and maintaining their attention during class discussion. I can't find ways to let them participate and cooperate with me. I also encountered students who are arrogant showing me that I'm just a practice teacher. Students who doesn't know how to be a human. Students who doesn't want to listen because they they know what your talking about. Students who are impossible.  

My Solution/s:

    I guess the best thing to do is to continue do my best regardless of what they say and do. To make and create activities that would help them appreciate our lesson and to continue showing them that I am worthy of their time through making my lesson well.

My Goal/s for Next Week:

    For next week I intend to execute at least 3 - 4 lessons as possible. I plan to increase and motivate my students to participate with me during class discussion.

Week # 5

August 16 - 19, 2014

Reason for failures

My Accomplishment/s:

          This week the first thing I accomplished was my weekly journal # 5, I submitted it on time to my coordinator. For my rated lesson, I was able to execute three lessons, one for Tuesday, one for Thursday and one for Friday. For Wednesday I did not have my lesson because our class had their orientation regarding the proper usage of the library. Instead of having class I was asked by my critic teacher to accompany our students to go to the library. I also supervised them to make sure that they will listen and participate to the orientation and I was also tasked by my critic teacher to supervised the last class for Friday for their summative test because she needed to attend into some urgent matters.Lastly I helped my critic teacher in preparing questionnaire for the grammar quiz bee.

My Insight/s:

          Everything about teaching is interconnected from the time you plan to your execution and after your execution.If one part goes wrong everything will be affected. The plans that you had will be ruined and same with your execution and worse students might not learn something from you.

My Significant Experience/s:

          This week we celebrated  the teachers' day, and I had receive a rose and a letter from my students. I consider this significant because I can say that these gifts is their way of saying that they learn something from me that they appreciated the things that I am saying and teaching to them. 

My Problem/s

       The problems that I encountered this week were first I had a very disrespectful student that even the word disrespectful is not enough to describe him. He doesn't want to listen. He always do things on his own without even considering how his teacher will feel about it. I can say that he is the worst person I've ever meet. Next was during one of my class I forgot to bring with me my chalk box and I don't have something to use to write on the board. The entire thing that I planned for that demonstration was ruined. Though I managed to execute still my lesson I felt like I failed in teaching my students. I know if in only if I was able to brought all the things that I needed I would have had a better demonstration.

My solution/s:

         The only option I could think of is to talk to my critic teacher about the matter and let her handle the disciplinary action for that student with regard to my rated lesson I need to always prepare and check the things that I need to bring for my lesson to avoid the same scenario to happen.

My Goals for Next Week:

         Next week my goal is to execute five lesson with quality. I like that everything that I do will in accordance to my liking and standard. All the things that I am going to do should pass my assessment.

Week # 4
September 8 - 12, 2014

Making  up 

My Accomplishment/s:

        This week the first thing I did was to submit my week number 3 journal, furthermore for the succeeding days I worked on my lessons and I was able to have four rated lesson and I can say that I did good according to my assessment and standard except for my lesson for Wednesday. I had the demonstration for Monday, Tuesday Wednesday, and Friday. For Thursday I did not have a lesson because we were called by our supervising instructors for a general assembly wherein we were given the chance to ask what we need to ask and to share the things the we experienced in our assigned school. Not only these I also made a list of words with its meaning and examples that was used during the spelling bee competition and helped my city in facilitating the contestants during the said event.

My Significant Experience/s:

         For My Wednesday lesson I felt like I did not do well so I promised myself to do better for my next. I really prepared and evaluated things that I could do to fill the gaps of what I did the previous meeting. I am thankful that I was able to experienced this, and at the same time I was able to at least make - up for it.

My Insight/s:

          With the things that i had this week I came to realize that a teacher's job is to educate the child with the knowledge, skills and capabilities that she have. It is not right for a teacher to enter in a classroom without holding something to give for the students.

     
My problem/s:
 
         The problem I had this week was that I felt and think that I wasn't able to execute my lesson for Wednesday because I am still confuse of the subject matter that I taught, its feels like I went into a battle empty handed. Though the students said that they understood my lesson when I asked them, I am not still satisfied and I keep on asking myself if  they really learn something from the discussion.

     
My Solution/s:

         With this problem I had I learned that in everything that you do you should be prepared and loaded. With this feeling that I had towards my Wednesday lesson I learned that a teacher is the source of everything that a student needs. Therefore to be able to educate the students and not to be confused if the students learn or not. I should prepare and study my subject matter. Read more resources for additional information for a better understanding.
My Goals for Next Week:

       Next week my goal is to have five rated lesson and to execute each properly in a way that my students could understand.
