“Why
I changed my mind”
My Accomplishment
I consider preparing a chapter test
as my accomplishment for this week, since it is my first time to prepare a
chapter test for my students. At first, I find it difficult to prepare since I
took up Assessment I years ago. However, when I’m preparing the questions I always
think of my students from the sections I handle. First, if the questions were
not that difficult or easy in their part and if the chapters test is good for
30 minutes since I need to review them about their previous lessons. So, I am
worried for them but when I checked their papers most of them got high scores
and it is very fulfilling to know that they learned something from me.
Moreover, I also consider my 3 rated demonstrations at BCNHS as an
accomplishment for this week though I still need to finish 20 lessons before
October 24.
My significant experience for this week was to be able to
deliver my 3 rated demonstrations though at some point I find it very difficult
to manage the classroom when it comes to their noise. It is also significant
for me to be able to get to know my students based from their outputs, since I
gave them assignment about their own philosophy in life. The last day for me was full of fun since most
of my students participate actively during my discussion.
This week gave me a lot
of realizations despite of all the challenges I am experiencing right now in
preparing my lesson, instructional materials, and varied activities as well as
looking for a strategy for my diverse type of learners I always manage to
smile. Since, giving up and surrendering in the battle field of education is
not present in my vocabulary because in the end, I always end up learning.
I have
learned a lot of things and changed my entire outlook and attitude towards
life, particularly during my practice teaching, so no doubt it is indeed a
blessing why I changed my mind and took up Education as my course instead of
choosing other courses.
My Problems 
The problem that I encountered this
week is classroom management. I have a hard time in managing the classroom
because of their noise. So, most of the comments of my critique teacher is
class is noisy. I also encountered problem when my it comes to my students
performances when it comes to grammar since I assumed that they already know
the topic about compound sentences but they don’t it seems that they cannot remember anything
from their previous year level.
I solved my
problem by means of asking my co-students teachers and most importantly my
critique teacher Mrs. Jayrerose Guevara some strategies in managing the
classroom. So, I can also integrate it inside my class which I find it
effective. The strategies I used inside the classroom are being silent at
first, calling the attention of students who doesn't behave, and calling
students to recite per row if one of their seatmate is noisy all of them will
answer my question. Moreover, when it comes to their difficulty in grammar I
will prepare simple sentences which are within their interests and level of
understanding.
Goals for next week 
I will
immediately approach my CT and ask for a lesson to teach. Since, I know that I
do not have enough time given to be able to finish 30 lesson plans with
execution until the 24th of October so I need to teach every day. It is also my
goal to maintain my hobby in coming to school early before 7:15 am so that I
will not be hard up in having my make-up class in the end of the school year.
