My DirectionsTo get to know my cooperating school better, I must do the following tasks:

Observe well.

Write down notes.

Extend assistance when needed.

My Cooperating Teacher’s ExpectationMy cooperating teacher is expecting me to:1. love the students2. be punctual3. be respectful4. be a good steward to properties5. make lesson plans on time6. teach students well

My Expectations I expect that my cooperating teacher will do the following: 1. check my lesson plans constructively,2. kind and understanding to my lapses and shortcomings, and3. teach me how to overcome challenges in the real scenario of teaching.

My TasksWrite on the suitcase, the cooperating teacher’s expectations that you need to

fully understand during your practicum days to establish better relationship.

Cooperating Teacher : Mrs. Fe M. PabingwitSubjects Handled : ENGLISHYears of Teaching Experience : 20 years above

I need to fully understand that I have to establish better relationship with my cooperating teacher.

Likewise, I also have expectations that I need to convey to my resource teacher in order for my needs to be understood and met.

My ActivitiesIn the observation phase, I need to focus on the following:

1. I fully realized that I need to read more on the developmental stages of Adolescence

(The High School Learners) because students tend to do what they wanted to do. They

seem so hyperactive to the extent that they sometimes bully their classmates and tease

those who seem different from them. Thus, reading more about this developmental

stage, will widen my knowledge about the things that these kinds of students would

likely to do. From doing so, I can manage to understand them and somehow give

appropriate response to different situations.

My Analysis

On my first encounter with my cooperating teacher, I realized that my teacher

was willing to help me in accomplishing the tasks given to me. Back then, I thought she

didn’t care for me, yet I was wrong. As well, I realized that I need to develop my sense

of urgency because she don’t want me to cram and fail to comply the 7 teachings

assigned to us. There were three of us assigned in the same grade level and section so,

we really need not to waste time. As much as possible, every session, different topic.

That’s why I need to develop the sense of urgency.

On my first dealing with the learners I observed that they lack respect to me as

a teacher since they know me as a student. We even did not have the time to introduce

ourselves. In fact, we sit at the back portion of the room, feeling mere observers, and

feeling out of place. As we were at the back, I sensed that the students really lack respect

even to their regular teachers. When the time I had my first teaching, I was not able to

input good impression to them since my resource teacher told me that my voice was a bit

not modulated. But, I commend them because they were very participative in class

discussion. They had the brain, but they lack character.

My Reflections

This day, I fully realized that I am really meant for teaching

profession because I felt happy and relieved knowing the fact that there

were individuals who learned because of me. It’s heart-warming to hear

them calling me “Sir”. I felt satisfied with the things I did for I was quite

sure that I did the appropriate methods and techniques in teaching, and tools

in assessing whether they learned something or not. I believe that I am

meant for teaching profession because if not, I would not be here. I really

am meant in the field of the noblest profession, teaching.
