Educational Philosophy

My Cooperating Teacher is A Progressivist 


          Having a new place to observe is a big adjustment for me but since I have a very kind cooperating teacher I think, he made it more easy and more comfortable. As I observe my cooperating teacher, I think that he is a progressivist because he assures that in every lesson there will be learning that will occur within the students. Also, he involves every student in class to every lesson, he makes sure that everyone pays attention to what he is discussing.  More so collaborative learning is what he’s always into, he wants his class to work together in making the learning more interesting. What I really noticed about my cooperating teacher that is a quality of a progressivist is that he is very welcome to new learning, he always entertain the students who shares a learning in the class.

The First Day of School 



         Impressions are very important part of first school days because impressions tend to last most. That is why Mr.Wong is right with the thought that what you do in the first days of school will determine your success or failure for the rest of the school year.  You will either win or lose your class on the first days of school.

         When I become a teacher I will make sure that I have a well-managed class because most of us know that the most effective way to become an effective one is to be an effective classroom manager, when you have that management everything will fall into place, students’ respect, discipline, and responsibility. And so that I will get my students attention first so I can implement a proper management to them. Teachers should always put in mind that the success of the first day of school will be the success of the year. 

Orientation Day

Orientation Day



      Last July 20, 2018 we the students assigned at Holy Angel University (HAU) had our Orientation headed by Ma’am Supan the assistant principal for Senior High School. It is my first time to be deployed at HAU which is far from the DepEd school that I have observed before.  It is good that we have an orientation here because I will get to know their rules and be reminded of what should we do inside the classroom. 

      Here are some of the reminders given to us, of course always wear proper uniform when observing, wear decent clothes if will be allowed to observe on avWednesday. We were reminded to be punctual at all times, come 10mins before the time to make sure to not to be late. If you’re going to be absent for a day inform the cooperating teacher ahead of time. Do not do a buddy buddy system with the students, always maintain that respect that the students will have on you. No using of cellphones inside the classroom, respect the teacher while discussing, Be a initiator do not wait for the cooperating teacher to give you a task because they might forget that they can give you something to do like to check papers. 

     It is really good that we have this kind of orientations for us to be reminded of the rules and regulations of the cooperating school that we have to observe.  I am lucky to have the chance to  have my my last field study observation at HAU.

  The Effective Manager 


 
    Since I started taking Education as my course I already believed that every teacher can be an effective one because we will surely learn as we study but I think I’m wrong that we will learn it inside the classroom because not everything can be learned by the book, it can be learned by experiences and observations. With the video of Harry K. Wong The Effective Teacher I have realized that the three characteristics he gave are really reliable to know to be an effective teacher. 

    I can say that it is really the first characteristic of an effective teacher is what matter the most and it is to be an extremely good classroom manager because to be one requires to know how to run a classroom and by that there will be ease in achieving and doing the things to be done in the classroom and the book has nothing to do with it. 


   The second characteristic is to be a master teacher where in the teacher needs to master her lessons to teach comfortably and teaching will occur when the students the teacher gets them to learn which is also a very effective characteristic because it is very much important to learn what to teach inside and outside the classroom.


    I also like the third characteristic which is being positive and having high expectations because when you believe and have trust with each other there will be a good outcome for everything and learning will occur.
