My Accomplishment 

Last week I was able to execute my lessons and it went smoothly though I got challenge with the students’ performance. to become a teacher I need all the patience in the world in order for me not to say words that would hurt my students feelings, even though their testing my patience I need to focus on teaching and confidently I can say that I really did my best to impart what I’ve prepared. In order to call my students attention most of the time I’m calling those students who were not paying attention. As expected they don’t know the answers to my question. They were busy doing their own thing and it’s really an insult for me.  But what can I do I need understand them I need to guide them.

My significance experience
I was challenge by my students but thanks to my Cooperating Teacher she shared some tips in order to get my students attention this are the following: make voice broader and loader, call students mostly at the back. For the first day of my teaching at the grade 8 chastity some of my students there are not behaving or participating I do not know if what I’ve done is right or wrong. I gave my students activity which is to differentiate and give the similarities of three countries Philippines , Malaysia and Singapore, since some of them are not listening they past a blank paper what I’ve done is that I put the blank paper on the trash bin . I did it in purpose I just want them to learn.  But I what I did for my first teaching was really helpful most of them are participating during discussion. The students who were not listening at first are the person who raises their hands at my second demonstration. But still there are two to three students were not really listening their batting in with none sense. Since I don’t want to be distracted I call her attention and ask her question. She can’t really answer she’s slouching feels like she’s at home. I ask for the guidance of the lord to help me to lengthen my patience so that I would not scold these students.

My insights 
 
To become a teacher I need to have patience in everything control angry as possible and never show anger. I learned that the more you show your anger the more they wanted to challenge the teacher. Always ask guidance of the lord in everything that I would be doing. 

My problems

I can’t manage well my class, actually just one of my 4 classes. I’m giving all my best not to get mad at my chastity class but seem they are enjoying testing my patience. One of my problems is that I can’t manage wisely my time before I do my lesson plans I need a motivation for me to be encouraged and start doing all the requirements needed to be done.

My solution

If they were too noisy I would just stand at a corner and wait for them to keep quiet. During discussion I call for the noisy students to recite.  We agreed in class that if students can’t answer my question they are not going to take their seat until they don’t give a correct answer. For me to be able to be encouraged to do all my requirements I wrote a quote I had read from a book which is “learning is fun if you’re happy on what you are doing”. I truly post it in my room beside my study table. My room is field with inspiring quotes in order for me to be motivated.
 

Efforts are best

My accomplishment

                Last week I was given a task from my Cooperating Teacher to check student’s paper. It’s not easy to check student’s paper especially when you cannot understand the student penmanship. I need to read everything in order for me to give them fair scores. I give all my best just to finish the four sections paper. To become a teacher I need to be patient enough.

My significant experience

                I help my Cooperating teacher Mrs. Jocelyn Beltran to assess the students’ performance when it comes to their speech performance of the students.  I easily determine if who were the students prepared and for the student who are just doing it for the sake of scores/ accomplishment. I ask myself why these students behave as such I  remember when I was in high school I always gave my best in doing all the activities given. Why now it means they are not happy for the task given.

My Insights

                Preparing an activity must needs more time in order for the students to be able to prepare themselves for the activity, because if they locks time the less they will cooperate. Being a teacher was not that really easy you need a lot of efforts to do task of becoming a teacher.

My problems

                How can I fairly evaluate my students? What are the things I need to consider to be able to give them the scores they deserve? Some students complained for their scores.

My solutions

                 I listen to their speech objectively to give them the fair scores.  I explained to them why I gave them such scores. Their speech was copy pasted and not well organize and only minimal are memorized.

My goals

                I should give my very best to explain my lessons next week. Consider everything as a blessing.

Words are not enough

                                             Words are enough

Triumph

        Teaching was not that easy it needs a lot of effort to do. It’s a great accomplishment for the week passed I get to use with my students I already feel comfortable with them. I come up with a strategy that would minimize the student’s noise. I wrote on the board the phrase “Please minimize your noise, you’re old enough to discipline yourselves”. Luckily it’s a good strategy they shut their mouths and begin to finish their activity. I don’t need to shout for them to listen.

Noteworthy Involvement

        I can never forget my first day at the section grade 8 Chastity.  One of the teachers does instruct me if I could go and guide the students for their activity for my Cooperating Teacher is still absent due to health problem. Students there were very noisy yet I need to manage my anger for I don’t want to show my annoyance for the first day. I just stood in front and wait for them to keep quiet but still seem they don’t have feelings they don’t even consider the person in front of them.  So I still instruct them what to do yet everyone’s using their cellphone. For I was just I student teacher I don’t have the right to capture their cellphone. Some were listening but some were not. 15 minutes before time I can no longer manage the noise what I did is that I told them that I would not let them go out for lunch if they were not going to keep their mouth shut. Some don’t believe me until I begin to let that quiet person in front, that’s the time they start to shut their mouth. What can I say it’s a blessing and I love this class I really do.? 

Thoughts

         At times we need to consider why those students act as such. A teacher must consider the needs of the students it’s not enough that you are teaching them what the books say so. A teacher is considered as second parents of the students, which are why teacher must consider her/his self a role model. A teacher must not give names that would embarrass students.  I learned that at times I must know the problems of my student in order for me to assess their needs. At times it is not bad to be stiff and strict because it’s your way of disciplining them. Respect is the most important thing a teacher must give to his/her student to be able to gain students respect.

Glitches

        I got sick last week I am so upset for it was the deployment period. I felt uneasy last Wednesday, what if my next class would be the same as the grade 8 Chastity. What if I cannot manage my anger? What if I commit mistakes?

Resolutions

        In order me to assess well my students I ask my Cooperating Teacher Mrs. Jocelyn Beltran if that section really performs that way. She told me that 8 Chastity behaves that way because they were called as the worst class during their seventh grade. And those names still instill to their minds.  She even told me that I should go with the flow in order for me to understand them.

Goal

          I should consider for my attitude and how I carry myself. I should respect my students and avoid giving them names that would be inculcate to their minds. Respect their needs and wants. Help them to be a good citizen by means of giving them some advice.
