2. Am I Really Prepared to Teach?
Yes, I am prepared to teach, as far as my knowledge
is concerned. This is because the knowledge and skills I
acquired at my college is more than enough. Moreover, it
is time for me to practice what I have learned in the
classroom. However, emotionally speaking, I think I am
not yet ready to face students in different attitudes and
characters. I still need to observe, adjust and get to know
my workplace better.

What’s Up? What’s Up?

4. • On my first encounter with my
cooperating teacher, I realized that she was
not strict at all. She was willing to help me
and was very approachable. She immediately
handed us reference books and some inspiring
words for us to go on.
• On my first dealing with the learners, I
observed that they was very behave and
they listened carefully as I introduced my
name. some of them were smiling at me,
and some were staring at me blankly.
My First Day Jitters

5. The school plays a very important role in the community. It shapes
the children of today to become a useful citizen in the future. Since school
is where their spent their time, it is very important that the school shows
good values and morals. ,So I need to help in molding the future
generation. As a teacher, I will be a role model of what is a useful citizen.
This is through providing quality instruction.

7. • If I already have my own class in the future, I
want to employ classroom routine that is
realistic and is helpful for me and my
students. I will create routines that can be
easily followed by all. Finally, I will also
observe those routines religiously so that I will
become a role model on my students.
• So that in the long run students will have an
idea what to do before, during and after the
class. Through this, there will be more time
instructions and learning is more efficient.

9. • I realized / learned that it is very important
to listen to your cooperating teacher because
they have enough experience on what to do.
In addition to that, preparation is very
important. Planning for possible outcomes
will maximize success.
The Journey Begins with the First Step
(My First Activity)

11. • As a teacher, I need to prepare a lesson plan
that is realistic and can be carried –out
properly. I will also ensure that I will write all
the things that need to be done in the
classroom. However, since this is just a plan, I
am open to some revision or changes on the
actual teaching, when it is needed.
Furthermore, I will also prepare a lesson plan
that provides equal opportunity to every
type of learners.
Writing My “First” Lesson Plan in My Second Home

12. After making my first IMs, I realized that
creativity is also important in making
instructional materials. It must be attractive and
appealing to the students. Moreover, durability of
materials also counts. Because f that, I am not that
good in making my instructional materials

14. In making exam, remember to follow these suggestions:
1. Write questions and use formats that match the developmental levels of your
students.
2. Create questions that match the content covered and the objectives identified
for your content
3. Balance tests with both objective and subjective items in order to meet the
various learning styles.
4. Include questions that require the use of both higher and lower level thinking.
5. Create a detailed answer key to grade tests fairly.
6. Return graded tests within one week time so students can benefit from the
feedback.
My First Assessment Tool

15. As a student teacher, I need to learn how to
structure bulletin boards so that whenever I will be
assign to structure a bulletin board in the future, I
will not hesitate to accept the task. This will serves
as a practice for my future application. Moreover,
this can also develop my creativity, which I do not
have

17. After the activity, I learned that as a teacher
and a staff of the school, we must participate in
any school event. Not just because of the welfare
of the school but also for the development of our
skills and knowledge.

19. Doing auxiliary services will help teachers
develop their innate skills that sometimes cannot
be used in the teaching profession. Moreover,
teachers will also help the community in this way.
May I Help You?
(Doing Auxiliary Services)

21. After my demonstration, I realized that
teaching is not an easy profession. One must
sacrifice the comfort to fulfill the needs of the
learners. However, I also realized that I want to
teach and my heart is on the teaching
profession.

Among High School Students

graduating high school student of Dr. Gerardo
Sabal Memorial National High School. She is 17

she was dreaming to have a father.
