Moment of Truth

WEEK NO. 10
October 13-107 2014
“Moment of Truth”



My Accomplishment


            I consider preparing my instructional materials for my beloved critique teacher as my accomplishment for this week.  It is also an opportunity for me to share my talent in coloring since my friend helps me in drawing cartoon characters.
Moreover, I had my 4 rated demonstrations for this week observed by my critique teacher. It was a challenged for me to handle the 4 sections of the 4th years regular since my critique teacher will not be around that day since she needs to defend her thesis for her doctorate Degree in BSU (Benguet State University). It was very challenging in my part to think on effective strategies as well as activities that I need to prepare which will be very effective to the level of my diverse type of learners.
This week for me is the most unforgettable moment when I was able to teach for the whole day and it was very overwhelming that despite of the feeling of being tired I still managed to teach and maintain my enthusiasm in teaching until the last period and we had fun. This week enable me to realize that indeed becoming a teacher is not a piece of a cake.
I also become a proctor for 2 days in the advisory class of my critique teacher during their examination period and I was tasked to list down the names of students who are cheating and its good news that they all behaved during the examination the 2 consecutive days for their periodical examination.



My Significant Experience 


            My significant experience for this week was to be able to execute 4 rated demonstrations with my critique teacher. At some point, this week gave me a lot of realizations since this week were full of requirements that need to be done. It was also a significant experience for me to be observed by the head teacher of English Mr. Alipda though he wasn’t able to observe me in the afternoon. It was fun though since I already met him during our first week of deployment when he became the substitute of my critique teacher Mrs. Jayrerose Guevara. It is indeed a significant experience to be observed by other critique teachers since a lot of expectations was vested upon you.



  My Insights


            This week gave me a lot of realizations. I realized that I really need to do advance reading before entering the classroom and a lot of reference to be studied since my topic last Monday is very difficult to understand and my students asked for more examples good for me I prepared a lot of examples for them to be able to understand the lesson clearly. I call this week as moment of truth since I realized that this will be my second to the last week of staying in public school and I really need to deliver my lessons in such a way that my students will not be bored and will enjoy every hour of their life being with me playing the role of a student teacher and indeed it was very effective and the class discussion was very interactive.



My Problem 


The problem that I encountered this week is time management. I have a hard time in managing my time in preparing all the requirements needed in school.


My Solution


                 I solved my problem by means of setting my goals and priorities using a planner as well as preparing a board for reminders posted inside the wall of my bedroom which really helps a lot.


Goals for next week 

I will immediately approach my critique teacher 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. I still need to teach 4 lessons to be rated by my critique teacher before their semestral break.
