Orientation in our Respective School

    

Having an orientation in school where we assign is important because this will serve us a guide for us  to know the rules and regulations of the school and other policies that this school have. As an observer it is important to have an orientation because this will help and remind us to know the Do's and Don'ts that we need to follow. Being an observer help us to become an effective teacher someday because during observation i learned a lot of things by the help of my Resource teacher like different strategies and techniques in teaching that i can apply someday to my students and it give us an idea on how to communicate well to our students. Also being an observer you should give and show respect to the people were you assign. Orientation reminded us about our responsibilities as an observer.

      Elements of Teaching




Everyone of us can be a Teacher but not all of us can be an effective teacher to our students. Being an effective teacher is a long process you need to practice and develop your skills to become an Effective teacher someday. There are Six Elements of Effective Teaching these are : Content Knowledge, Quality of instruction, Teaching climate, Classroom Management, Teacher's Belief and Professional Behavior.




Content Knowledge- This is when teacher have a mastery on their own subject that they teach and a deep knowledge on their subject area.
Quality of Instruction- This teacher is good in using effective Questioning and useful assessment to the students.
Teaching Climate-  to have a good teaching climate a teacher and student should have a good relationship to each other and respect is important in the class.
Teacher beliefs- There are some reasons why teachers adopt particular practices and purpose that they have for their student.
Professional Behaviors- Teacher must develop professional skills and practice.The teacher must deal with the students, parents and their colleagues professionally.

   Teachers and also Pre-service Teachers must have these characteristics which is the 6 elements of an Effective Teaching because this will guide you the right way to become a good and an effective teacher someday. We should give IMPACT to our students because there success is also the success of the teacher.

Teaching as an art demonstrate the way the teacher use creative ways to present the material fun and interesting to the students. As a teacher we should be innovative and creative in teaching like giving enjoyable games, role plays, hands on activities even movies that are related to our lesson because this will lead us to become more effective teacher. Students will not get bored instead they are excited and enjoying your subject. We should not only share knowledge to our students they should feel that learning is enjoyable.In this way we catch the attention of our students easily and they will become active in learning. As a teacher this is the way we experiment different strategies and techniques in teaching so that we will know on what strategy they are most
active in learning.

Teaching Moral Values and Good Ethics to our students are very important. As a teacher we should teach our student to become a good person and do things that is always right. Teacher serve as  role model to their students because they always see that we are a perfect person. We know the right from wrong, we value the things around us and they have a high expectation to us. We should follow the code of ethics so that we will be guided on the proper way of conduct. Teaching is not only a profession it is more on vocation. We stand as a second parent to our students we are the one who mold them to become a good individual. As a teacher we must implement the values education to our student like good manners and other proper way of conduct.Teachers doesn't only teach the concept of academics but also on how to value our own lives.

   My Resource Teacher's Elements of Teaching  (What is lacking or missing?)





Based on my observation, The five elements of Teaching are present in my two Resource teacher except one and that is the quality of Instruction. Because this teachers have a mastery of subject matter and make sure that their students understand the lesson clearly and can apply what was taught to them. Also these Teachers have a good relationship with their students because as I observed to them they respect each other.They are also good in terms of classroom management they believe that learning environment is important and an organized classroom has a big impact on the learning of the students.They also have their own beliefs and experiences that can share to their students and Professional behaviors they deals with their students, co teachers and parents professionally for them respect and confidentiality is important. These two Resource teacher are good but they need to become more flexible in using different strategies that will help their student clearly understand the lesson. Every teacher must skilled in adapting students needs and make sure that there teaching instruction should be fit in there students.  For me, The elements of Effective teaching is like a puzzle piece because even if there is one piece that is missing you cannot become an effective teacher because that 5 elements are important to us teachers we must practice this characteristics to become an effective teacher someday.

First Reflection

What kind of Philosophy does your Resource teacher have?

  I already had my first observation at Francisco G. Nepomuceno Memorial High School. I already met my two resource teacher and for me they have quite the same Educational philosophy but different in their teaching styles. Every teacher has their own Educational philosophy that they follow throughout their teaching career and their main goal is for the learning and development of every student. My first Resource teacher is a combination of Progressivists and Essentialists As I observe the way she teach her main goal is to give knowledge to her student and make sure that they understand the lesson. Sometimes she is a learner centered because she always asked her student to participate in the lesson and there is always an activity for her students to learn independently. I like the way she understand her students. She is the kind of teacher who give considerations to her students and a teacher who is kind too. My second Resource teacher is a Progressivists she is a learner center approach and always encourage her students to become active in her class. I like the way she teach and how she deliver the lesson easily and clearly so that her students will understand it. Sometimes she give jokes that make her students to be active in the discussion and make learning enjoyable. I admire her for being an industrious teacher and always give her best in teaching that makes learning interesting.

   We all have different Educational philosophy and our goal is for the learning and development of every student. We want to enhance their potentials and become prepared for their future because the success of the student is also success of the teacher.

DISCIPLINE AND PROCEDURE

In Part 3 of Dr. Harry Wong, He talked about the differences of  Discipline and Procedures inside the Classroom. He also said that An Effective Teacher are more on Managing the class than Disciplining the class. Moreover, He mentioned that the student should know their Teachers want and dislike just like being late, absent and other behavior of the student that the teacher will do not like. I Agree with Dr.Harry Wong that the number one problem in the classroom is not discipline but it is the lack of procedures and routines. I believe that procedure and routines make the students become more active in learning. As a teacher we should help our students to do things and discover their own skills. Also we must be positive in dealing in our student because this will encourage them to always think positive and believe that they will become successful in the future.
