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.

THE FIRST DAYS OF SCHOOL

In Part 2 of  Dr. Harry Wong, He said that Classroom Management is the key to Success.
I Agree with this because if you have a good classroom management for sure you will have an organized classroom environment that is conducive to learning. In this video I learned that on the first day of school the teacher must give his/her rules and regulations inside the classroom so that the students will know the Do's and Don'ts that they need to follow. I also believe in this statement that your success during the school year will be determined by what you do on the first day of school.
As a teacher i need to remember and understand that every student has a unique personality, strength and weaknesses. In the future i will give my best to my future students to be an effective teacher to them.
