Becoming A Teacher
I. Introduction
In our society teachers are always a boon. Teachers attempt to
create a well-rounded personality through their intelligence, patience
and wisdom. Through their intelligence, patience and wisdom.
Students make a difference in their lives through teachers. The biggest
reward of teaching was inspiring students from their apathy and
watching their curiosity grow. In my personal philosophy of teaching, I
believe that it is important to be consciously aware of the theory
behind what I’m going teach as well as the way that how I teach. It is
very empowering for me to understand the theories associated with
my field and to be able to reflect those theories in my teaching
approach someday. I begin with the belief that all of my students come
into the classroom with pre-existing knowledge that contributes to the
learning process. I will make an attempt to discover and exploit this
knowledge from the outset by surveying my students’ scientific
knowledge. Then I will encourage my students to capitalize on their
strengths and experiences in order to develop their scientific abilities.
Understand the social functions of language Not only is it important for
me to teach my students the concepts of biology, it is also very
important for me to instruct my students in the proper use of the
scientific language. Therefore, I will devote time in discussing the
answers to different types of questions based on the past papers.
Regularly I will have my students engage in peer feedback, with slight
variation of the activity each time. In pairs or in groups, students read
peer answers, provide either written or verbal feedback, and discuss
the answers for that particular concept. Students seem to enjoy and
benefit tremendously from this activity. Rapport is an important aspect
of classroom pedagogy that I believe has more to do with people-
management skills than to teaching.
II. Rationale
To identify and describe the teachers’ activity that
enrich the learners multiple intelligence.
Be able to identify the lesson objectives, teaching
activities, instructional materials, and assessment
tools used by the teacher in such activities.
Be able to identify the principles in teaching learning
activities and the instructional materials used by the
teacher in selected subjects.
A. My Cooperating School
Saint Vincent de Paul was my cooperating school. This is the most
cooperative school when we used to ask for approval. The school was
located in Bgry. Maligaya Park, Quezon City. The school have a good
location because the place was peaceful where the student can
concentrate their studies.
B. My Group
This is my group mates when we conducted the field study in
Saint Vincent Academy de Paul.
C. My Cooperating Teachers
Ms. Shayne Amador. She is teaching Filipino subject.
She is Mrs. Teresa Casas. She is a teacher in Social Studies.
D. The learners
The students answering their activity/assessmentAsking question to the students as part of the learning activity.
Mrs. Teresa Casas is discussing the lesson for the day. The lesson was
about the President of the Philippines. As I observed the class she
using pictures as her visual aids and I really feel that she is kind of
tense maybe because of our presence. From time to time she also
asking questions to the student but most of the time she is the one
who feed more information about the lesson. I found her class more
teacher-centered approach. The students are behave and also
attentive during the discussion and they are all participating in class.
For me, even though she is using teacher-centered approach the
learning process of the class of Ma’am Casas is also effective as I saw
how the students response during that time.
III. Reflection/Conclusion
Learning they say is hard so as to teaching. To learn, one must
get to know the different things, from simple ideas to more complex.
Also, in teaching, many things are to be learned not only by the
students but also to the part of the teacher. In order a teacher to
learn, he/she must be effective and well versed to the different
methods or strategies he/she will use to make his teaching more
innovative. Effective teaching is said to be achieved if a student has
learned something from what the teacher taught.
In these field studies, I have found out that real teaching can
be seen when you are in the location where the teaching and learning
takes place. I believe that a teacher can be developed if he sees the
reality of teaching. And that's what I've experienced during my Field
Study journey.

I. Introduction
To enhance and improve the pupils progress schools
developing their assessment of pupils. By investing in assessment,
schools can ensure that learning is meaningful for all pupils, teaching
is effective and attainment outcomes are improved.
Assessment is an integral part of instruction, as it determines
whether or not the goals of education are being met. Assessment
affects decisions about grades, placement, advancement, instructional
needs, curriculum, and, in some cases, funding. Assessment inspire us
to ask these hard questions: "Are we teaching what we think we are
teaching?" "Are students learning what they are supposed to be
learning?" "Is there a way to teach the subject better, thereby
promoting better learning?" Today's students need to know not only
the basic reading and arithmetic skills, but also skills that will allow
them to face a world that is continually changing. They must be able to
think critically, to analyze, and to make inferences. Changes in the
skills base and knowledge our students need require new learning
goals; these new learning goals change the relationship between
assessment and instruction. Teachers need to take an active role in
making decisions about the purpose of assessment and the content
that is being assessed.
II. Rationale
Be able to competent in identifying and naming different
assessment and methods use in the classroom.
Be able to be adept in designing, using and interpreting
results and objective tests.
Be able to be informed on the principles of authentic
assessment and its usefulness in the classroom.
Be able to be skillful in designing process-oriented
performance assessment.
A.) My Cooperating School
Maranatha Christian Academy was located in Brgy. Sta. Monica, Novaliches Quezon City.
B. ) My Group
My group mates!!!
C.) My Cooperating Teacher
Mrs.Nieves R. Cabagbag was our cooperating teacher and
she was also the principal of Maranatha Christian Academy. She is
very nice and cooperating when we conducted our field study. She
believed that being a global teacher you must be spiritual, morally and
physically matured. At the same time teacher should well equipped
with the knowledge and skills to be efficient and effective.
D.) The Mission and Vision
This is the mission and vision of Maranatha Christian School. It present
the overall purpose of the school, statement comprises a central part
message that the school original purpose, the values that the school
stands for and the reason for the school continued existence. It
summarized general principles and aspiration to the school for
continuing their goals for the education of the new generation.
III. Reflection/Conclusion
"To Teach is to love the children" This is actually true in the
teaching field. It is a fact that when a teacher firsts understands his
learners, the learning is achieved with harmony. The teaching and
learning process should always be based on the learners' interest.
Teachers must give appropriate lessons that fit to the capabilities and
likes of his learners. If in some instances where students have
difficulties in learning for they have learning disabilities like dyslexia,
the role of the teacher is to first change his strategies in teaching and
make sure that he will give the special attention they needed.
The world of teaching doesn't only end at school. It doesn't
only end when the school year ends or when the teacher finishers the
chapters he taught from the book to his students. It also doesn't end
when your pen's ink becomes empty. To learn is to learn around.
therefore, learning is everywhere and everywhere we learn different
things from the simplest to more complex of learning.
Simultaneously, as the learning takes place, of course we also have
to remember that everything that we learn from the past to the
present, these things are such valuable for these teach us how to
become new and productive individuals. We are inspired of the lessons
we took and definitely, these will last forever in n our memory.
And for us we should always remember that we must be able to
influence the minds of many to become good and that we should be
careful in touching the lives of people we once be part with.

I. Introduction
In Becoming a teachers, teachers hold the highest regard for
students after their parents. All cultures and religions preach that
students are supposed to respect their teachers and should try to learn
from them not only what's there in the academic curriculum but also
the values of life. Teachers have an important role in building the
personality of students and the relationship they develop with them
determines the student's academic and personal growth.
Teachers bear the heavy responsibility of molding the minds of
our nation's most precious resource, its children. The road to becoming
a teacher is a long one, involving post-high school education, people
skills, and a desire to change lives. These traits, when accompanied by
experience and good techniques, form the foundation for an effective,
life-altering educator.
Before anything else, teachers must have a desire to impact the lives
of their students. Some teachers teach because they want to help
children learn and grow and would like to make a contribution to
society. Others have an intellectual fascination with a certain subject
(such as math or history), have been inspired by one of their own
teachers, or feel they have a sense of commitment to their country.
One thing is certain, teachers that go into the profession for selfish
reasons will find it hard to commit to their career. The salary for a
teacher is not likely to make a person rich, so their motives must be
based on helping improve the minds of future generation.
Everyone has progressed to where they are in life because they
had a teacher. A teacher is defined as someone who gives instruction
and communicates skills. Our children are our future, and they need to
be prepared for the future or they will not be successful in the working
world. Teaching makes a difference in them, because it gives them
tools to help them be successful in the future.
The job of a teacher means different things to different people.
For some, a teacher is simply a person who informs students about
"necessary information" like math formulas, historical facts, or literary
works. Yet for others, and for me, teachers are much more. They give
their students not only their knowledge, but also their passion. They
get involved in the lives of their students. They make their students
feel good about themselves and they help the youth realize and fulfill
their dreams.
II. Rationale
Be able to competent in establishing routines and
procedures to make the physical environment conducive
learning.
Be able to competent in identifying possible linkages
between the school and the community particularly those
that will help attain curricular goals.
Be able to gain competence in developing yourself become
a global teacher.
Be able to manifest a better understanding of the right,
duties, and responsibilities of a professional teachers and
how to these impact you as a future teacher.
Mrs. Nieves was very open when we
interviewed her. She answered all our
questions willingly.
This is the church inside the
campus of Maranatha Christian
Academy. Since this is a
Christian schools, they’re are
more focus with the Christian
values, discipline, God fearing
student, a responsible and
enlightened future leaders of our
society.
IV. Reflections/Conclusion
Through out my experience in my field study I learned so much
that I really treasured because it is indeed important to a future
teacher like me. I know this experience will really help me to become
effective to the profession that I’ve chosen. Upon observing in the
class where my group gathered our field study I learned that a teacher
student relationship could be developed by encouraging a learning
environment where the student feels free to ask whatever he wants to
and the teacher responds in a manner which is understandable by the
student. Therefore it would not be wrong to say that the building block
of a strong teacher student relationship is effective communication.
The level of respect that exists between the two also has a vital role to
play in developing a positive teacher student relationship. A major
hindrance to the strengthening of their relationship is the different
categories of students in a class. Some of the students are hard
working and come to the class to learn but there are others who are
aggressive in nature and find it difficult to concentrate on what is
going on in the class.
They continuously distract others and also spoil the learning
environment of the class. In order to overcome this hindrance the
teachers need to be extremely patient. They should maintain a
balance between leniency and strictness as excess of any of the two
could cause a total chaos. It is the teacher's responsibility to monitor
every student individually so that their progress could be monitored
and attention can be divided between students accordingly.
A teacher-student relationship evolves with time. When in
primary school the teacher usually acts as a mother for students and
guides them about every little thing. In secondary and post secondary
school the approach of teachers becomes more professional. They are
more concerned about completing the course rather than teaching
students the true value of life. This is where most teacher student
relationships suffer. A teacher transforms from being a teacher to an
instructor who has the sole responsibility of teaching students what's
there in the course books and nothing beyond that. For strong student
teacher relationships it is essential that teachers understand that
students in a class come from different cultural and social
backgrounds.
This increases the need for teachers to modify their behavior
according to each students needs. In this way the teacher would be
able to develop a level of understanding with every student and the
students would feel they are important which would boost their self
esteem. This would also reflect in their grades and overall behavior.
The overall size of the class is also vital in determining how effective a
student teacher relationship could be. The larger the class size the
more difficult it would be for teachers to provide individual attention to
students so school administrations should make sure that the class
size is kept small which would allow a much better learning
environment for teacher student relationship to flourish.
With the growing competition in society it is essential that
people improve their relationships with each other. Amongst these
relationships, a student teacher relationship is of utmost importance
which needs to be looked after properly so that young children could
grow up to become educated and responsible citizens of the society.

Amen.By Joanna Fuchs
Maranatha School Academy principals’ said that teacher in
learning need to seek the understanding of teacher. She said that
most of the times their teachers always used student-centered
approach. They must assure that their school is conducive in learning.
They always set a humane discipline to all students as well as to the
faculty. They also have a community service such as cleaning the
surroundings outside of the school since the school is located in the
urban area of Novaliches.
They also used deferent assessment tools in assessing the
progress of every student they have such as oral and written
examination, group activities, thesis defense, observation and
reporting. She always encourages their teachers to use visual aids
during class discussion. As much as possible they integrate the use of
technology in their classes. Mrs. Nieves said that in imparting
knowledge to their students they believe the principle of learning by
doing of John Dewy. Because she believed that each child was active,
inquisitive and wanted to explore and education should also equip
students to take a full and active part in shaping their future society.
