    WEEK 1 | my pre-service journey


    Monday, January 22, 2024

    Today marked my first day as a


    practice teacher, where I had the opportunity
    to teach ESP 9 and facilitate an ICT class. As
    I entered the classroom, a rush of nerves
    mingled with excitement flooded my senses. In
    ESP 9, navigating discussions on ethical values
    and personal development proved challenging,
    with some students displaying disinterest. The
    ICT class presented a different set of hurdles,
    from troubleshooting technical issues to guiding
    students through online research activities.
    However, amidst the frustrations, witnessing
    moments of understanding and hearing
    insightful contributions from students
    reinforced my passion for teaching. Reflecting
    on today's experiences, I realized the immense
    toughness of the teaching profession. The day
    underscored the importance of our role as
    teachers and the impact our demeanor and
    image have on the classroom environment. It
    became evident that the teacher's image is a
    cornerstone of effective teaching, influencing
    students' perceptions and attitudes towards
    learning.

    Today marked my very first day


    teaching seventh grade. I started by explaining
    what I hoped our class would be like: fun and
    friendly. I wanted our classroom to be a place
    where we could laugh and learn together. I
    shared stories from my own school days to
    help everyone feel comfortable. I also made it
    clear that I wanted to get to know each
    student better. I believe that when we
    understand each other, we can work together
    better. Looking back on today, I realized that
    being a teacher isn't just about teaching
    lessons. It's also about creating an environment
    where students feel happy and supported. By
    setting a positive tone from the start and
    showing that I care about my students as
    individuals, I'm laying the groundwork for a
    successful school year. I'm excited to see how
    our class grows and learns together in the
    days ahead.

    I continued my discussion with grade 9


    students. While teaching, Ma'am Arbee advised
    me to focus more on questioning students
    rather than solely speaking myself throughout
    the session. By actively engaging students
    through questioning, we can gauge their level
    of involvement and ensure their active
    participation in the learning process. In grade
    7, my lesson was interrupted as former FS
    teachers arrived to discuss missing outputs
    with the class. Consequently, I had to adapt
    and adjust my lesson plans for the following
    week to accommodate this unforeseen
    interruption. Ma'am Arbee also provided me
    with a tangible strategy to enhance student
    engagement. She suggested having students
    write their answers on a piece of paper in
    response to my probing questions. This
    approach serves as an effective means to
    assess students' prior knowledge and
    understanding of the topics we discuss.

    Today was a busy day as we engaged in


    multiple tasks. We commenced with a thorough
    cleaning of the Counseling room, ensuring it
    provided a welcoming and organized
    environment for our students. Alongside this,
    we diligently updated records, focusing
    particularly on documenting students' outputs
    and tracking any missing assignments from
    previous quarters. This meticulous attention to
    detail is crucial for effectively supporting our
    students' academic progress. In addition to
    these tasks, we also participated in a meeting
    session. During the meeting, we discussed
    various strategies and initiatives aimed at
    enhancing the support services offered by the
    counseling department. Collaborating with
    colleagues allowed us to exchange ideas, share
    best practices, and align our efforts towards
    our shared goal of promoting student well-
    being and success. Overall, today was a
    productive day filled with meaningful tasks and
    collaborative discussions aimed at better
    serving the needs of our students.
