Comments Of The Faculty ………………………………………………. …………..60 Statement of Purpose My Teaching Philosophy To educate is to become a better educated. It is circular process that improves with time; I believe the responsibility of educators is to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in academic, business and personal arenas. My teaching philosophy is based on the belief that education is a solution to many social problems. Education provides the tools to make informed decisions, synthesize ideas, and critically evaluate relevant issues and to enjoy life. Therefore pursuing knowledge and working to improve my skills as an educator are among my highest priorities. As an educator, I will strive to encourage excellence in my students and my self. Course material should be challenging, interactive and relevant to current issues and events. Students learn and retain more information if the material is presented in an environment that is interesting and interactive. For this reason, I believe that using a variety of multimedia including video, slides, and the internet, is an effective way to complement traditional course lectures remains the foundation of the educational experience. I feel that I can encourage students to seek new knowledge and explore their own ideas by an enthusiastic presentation of both what is. And what is not known about subjects. When appropriate, the classroom setting should be expanded to include experience in the field. What better way to make the necessary connections among biological concepts than by observing how organisms interact with their environment? In my interaction with students, I will strive always to be respectful, especially when dealing with differing opinions that may arise as product of scientific thinking. I want my student to learn to think critically, not merely to accept my ideas and opinions; my drive to pursue higher education was due in part to several teachers who inspired catalyst for other people to pursue their dreams. Episode 1 The Schools Learning Resource Center Name of Fs Student: Aspero, Jay Ar B. Course: Bachelor Of Secondary Education Year & Section: III-A Resource Teacher: Mrs Marites A. Alvarez Cooperating School: Sagay National High School My Target At the end of this activity, I will be competent in identifying and classifying resources that facilitate teaching and learning processes. At the end of this activity, I will be competent in identifying and classifying resources that facilitate teaching and learning processes. An Observation Guide for a LEARNING RESOURCE CENTER Learning resource center was a facility within a school which was operated by a specialist and containing several information sources. It must be developed and benefitted to educate all people and provide quality education. It must have current resources for it is an avenue for learning. As I visit and observe the different learning resource center, the learning resources that were available or present were computers, textbooks, magazines, newspapers, television, articles, DVD player, tapes and etc… All materials were properly arranged according to their types and functions. It seems that all materials have a proper maintenance because they were free any dust. Every learning resource center has its own guidelines or procedures and also rules. Those guidelines or procedure and rules do not involve great exertion or discomfort on the part of the users because they were just easy to adhere or practice.

Characteristics And Unique Capabilities

Teaching Approaches Where The Resources Is Most Useful

1. Print Resources

Generally, all these print resources were capable in providing guidance and idea to students who were not familiar with it and it makes them aware about the whole concept.

Interactive instruction relies heavily on discussion and sharing among participants. It allows for a range of groupings and interactive methods. This includes total class discussions, small group discussions or projects.

All these resources were capable in upgrading the vocabulary and listening skill of the learners and this was highly effective for all the auditory learners.

Letting the student explore the elements of an audio production could be an effective teaching approach because it develops listening skills of students.

There were models and specimens that were being preserved, thus the learners can have a close-t- reality experience. It brings out information and reality experience for the learners who may not be familiar with what it looks like.

Experiential learning could be a teaching approach where resources were most useful.

Generally, ICT resources were used as a means of learning new concepts and new ideas to the learners. T also brings convenience to the part of the teachers.

Direct instruction was highly teacher directed and was commonly used. This includes methods such as lectures, questioning, explicit teaching and demonstration. It was effective for providing information or developing step by step skills.

1. ICT Resources Computers Television

It was inductive, learner centered and activity oriented. The emphasis in experiential learning was on the process of learning and not on the product.

Impression: Learning resources are the materials used by teachers to enhance the skills of students, help to discover the different aptitudes and it provides learning experiences to the students. All learning resources must be contemporary and the person in-charge must know how to efficiently utilize it because learning resources support curriculum. Name and Signature of Observer: JAY AR B. ASPERO Analysis 1. 1. Were the learning resource/materials arranged properly according to their functions and characteristics? All learning resources or materials were arranged properly according their functions and characteristics. The books inside the library were properly arranged as to their types and functions. The proper arrangement of learning resources help the teachers and students to locate it and it brings convenience to both teachers and students. 1. 2. Do the guidelines and procedure facilitate easy access to the materials by the teachers? Why? Why not? The guidelines and procedures facilitate easy access to the materials in such a way that the guidelines and procedures do not involve great exertion or discomfort on the part of the teachers or any users of it. 1. 3. What are the strengths of this learning resource center? Learning resource center can be developed and benefitted to educate all people and provide quality education. It will become strong when the person in-charge knows how to efficiently utilize it and the resources must be sufficient and must be contemporary that will suit to the latest trends in the society. 1. 4. What are its weaknesses? A learning resource center was only good as the resources they have and the person running it so if a learning resource center has insufficient or outdated resources it will be weak. If they have current resources but no one knows how to efficiently utilize them so it will be also weak. 1. 5. What suggestions can you make? I suggest that learning resource center must be well planned and properly managed so that it can function and give significant contribution to developing learning society and establishing educated society. Learning resource center must be designed according to the interest of students so that their attention will be caught and it must be an information provider to reinforce student’s learning. Reflection 1. 1. Which of the materials in the learning resources caught your interest the most? Why? It was the book that caught my interest because they were properly arranged according to their types and functions. It seems that there was a proper maintenance because most of the books were free from dust. 1. 2. Which gadgets/materials are you already confident to use/operate? The books, computer, projector and other materials that were related to multimedia presentation were the gadgets or materials that give me a strong belief in my own ability to use or operate it. 1. 3. Which ones do you feel you need to learn more about? I need to learn more about the use of computers in presenting topics. It is important for me to be familiar and understand clearly its appropriateness and effectiveness in delivering a topic. Episode 2 Bulletin Board Display Name of Fs Student: Aspero, Jay Ar B. Course: Bachelor Of Secondary Education Year & Section: III-A Resource Teacher: Mrs Marites A. Alvarez Cooperating School: Sagay National High School My Target At the end of this activity, I will be competent in appraising the effectiveness of display boards as learning resources. An Observation Guide for Board Displays Name of School Observed: Sagay National High School Date of Visit: August 16, 2012 As I look around and examine the board displays, I have found out that every classroom has its own board display. Some classrooms have a bulletin board for birthdays of students, classroom cleaners, classroom officers, classroom activities and announcement and the most common was the board display that contains the topics to be discussed in a certain grading period. I have seen 3 board displays outside the classroom but it was more than that if I will examine the whole campus. Board displays were located in front of the canteen, near the faculty room and also near the entrance gate. Most of it was announcements, activities or events in school and etc… The announcements were written in a formal way that everyone can quickly and clearly understand , the information were arranged past to latest and the materials used have a high quality that can last for a longer time. Board display near the entrance of the gate was covered by a class, so as to give protection to the content and materials used. Messages were clear enough as I read it and it can be easily understood because there were no misspelled words or any inconsistencies in grammar. Topic of the board displays: Buwan ng Wika and Science Month Location of the board displays in school: Near the entrance gate Check the column that indicates your rating.

Colors and arrangements catch and hold interest. Balance

Arrangements of objects were good but it needs an improvement.

Objects are arranged so stability is perceived. Unity

There was a perfect selection of colors, shapes and boarders.

Repeated shapes or colors or use of borders holds display together. Interactivity

Students have an active involvement in it because the board display seems to be student made.

The styles and approach entice learners to be involved. Legibility

Too much art can damage the legibility of the board display.

Letters and illustrations can be seen from a good distance. Correctness

There were no such wrong grammars or even misspelled words.

Free from grammar errors, misspelled words, ambiguity Durability

The content can last long because it was protected by a glass.

Well-constructed, items are securely attached. (Option 2) Location: Near the entrance gate Brief description of the bulletin board:

The board display contains different activities and events for a certain month and it was located near the entrance gate where teachers, students and parents can see it. Evaluation

Observations: Board display was c covered by a glass, it was located near the entrance gate, it was attractive and there were no misspelled words or even inconsistencies in grammar.

Judgments or evaluation of educational content and other aspects: The contents were relevant to the activities for that month.

Strength

Weaknesses





It can last for a longer time; it can easily attract the attention of the viewers because of its location where many viewers can see it.

It can be only weak if it is not updated and if the content is not clear enough.

The content was easy to understand because it was free from any grammar errors.

If the person who made the board display is not knowledgeable and just took it for granted can also become weak.









It will be very effective if the viewers or students perform the task being posted.

It will be weak if there is no involvement from the students and if the contents are not updated.

Recommendations or suggestions for improvement:

The legibility of the board display was good but it needs an improvement in terms of the arrangements of its content in order for it to be seen from a good distance and messages must be cogent enough in order for the viewers especially the students to have an involvement. Signature of Evaluator Over Printed Name: JAY AR B. ASPERO 1. Analysis 2. 1. Did the board display design reflect the likes or interest of its target audience? Why? or Why not? Definitely yes because of its style, selection of colors and materials, the title and the theme seem to be a student made. Since it is made by certain students, so I can say that everything being posted are being reflected on the likes or interest of its target audience because the main target audience are also the students but it is not the totality because every student has its own style. It simply means that one student is different from another student in terms of their likes or interest. 1. 2. Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand? Why? Or Why not? Yes, it was. The font and size of the words were formal enough to be read by the target audience and the words were also bold enough to be clearly seen. The words used were appropriate to the level of the students where in the students who will read it can understand its thought. 1. 3. What do you think was the purpose of the board display? Was it effective? Why? Or Why not? In my own point of view, the purpose of the boards was to convey information to the students such as information about the content of the subjects, proper hygiene, values information and latest trends in the society. It also serves as motivation tool for the students to do their best and as I look in it, it really works for it s purpose. By it designs it holds attention, the contents were appropriate that provide learning information, and the boards were not merely filled with written words but also pictures that facilitates easy understanding. 1. 4. What suggestions can you make? I suggest rearranging some of the words to convey much clear thought of the sentence. The content must have something new that gives opportunity to the student to participate or interact and it is important also to update the content. It would be also nice to add more contents which will invite the participation of the students aside from information that it conveys. Theme: ACTIVITY BOARD Board title: YOU ARE WANTED! PLEASE DO WHAT IS ASKED… Rationale: (purpose) To enhance students’ participation in learning by using board display and the ability of students in responding to the questions posted. Objectives: The students will be able to provide answers on the posted questions The students will be able perform the activity being posted The students will be able have additional information or learning aside from what is discussed in the class Best features of my propose bulletin enhancement: It will consist of health information, trivia, and latest educational trends in the society and activities for the students to do. Content resources (name each needed resource and give each a brief description): Internet- sites with reliable information Books- it could be from all types of subjects Journals- those that are fitted to the level of the students Magazines- source for cut out letters and pictures Students output- can be displayed in the board (must be attractive, cogent and legible) Materials for aesthetic enhancement: Cartolina Cutting Materials Construction Paper Indigenous Or Recycled Materials Cut Out Letters Pasting Materials Pictures Coloring Material Boarders 1. Reflection 2. 1. Name at least five skills that a teacher should have to be able to come up with effective board displays. Elaborate on why each skill is needed. Creative– the teacher can create ideas in a limitless way Informative– the board display must have varied yet appropriate information Idealistic– the teacher must think of an idea of what his/her board display would look like and how it will work for the learning of the target audience Artistic- the teacher must have a sense of art in order to make an attractive board display Resourceful– resourcefulness of a teacher may contribute to the enhancement of the board 1. 2. Which of the skills do you already have? Recall your past experiences in making board displays. How do you practice these skills? I have a sense of idealism and resourcefulness, a little of being creative, informative and artistic. It was high school days when I started making a board display. The content was the whole topic that covers our third grading period. I learn how to make boarders and design a letter specifically the Old Text English Style because that was my favorite font text. It was my first time to make a board display, thus I still need to improve and practice those skills for future. I practice those skills every time I do artworks such as making portfolios and scrapbooks. 1. 3. Which skills do you need to develop? Reflect on how you can improve on or acquire these skills? I think I need to develop my artistic skills because in designing a board display I must know how to combine colors, make designs appropriate to the theme and purposed of the board display, and to make it attractive. To have an artistic skills, I must practice it while still a student, thus I must apply it every time I’m doing an artworks such as portfolios and scrapbooks. There is also a need for me to accept criticism from others towards my work in order for me to develop or improve my work. I need also to develop my informative skills by reading books and magazines, searching through internet, and most of all to be updated about the events or happenings in this world. Episode 3 See and Say Name of Fs Student: Aspero, Jay Ar B. Course: Bachelor Of Secondary Education Year & Section: III-A Resource Teacher: Mrs. Marites A. Alvarez Cooperating School: Sagay National High School My Target At the end of this activity, you will gain competence in determining the appropriateness of teaching aids to learning tasks. Date of Observation: August 16, 2012 School: Sagay National High School Subject: English Grade/Year Level: Third Year As I observe the class, the topic was about idiomatic expression using participle. Through the use of visual aids, the teacher delivers her lesson effectively. The topics were written in a manila paper and there was legibility in the content because it can be quickly and clearly understood by students sitting at the back. There was experiential learning that happens inside the classroom and one of the reasons was that, students interact on the learning materials that the teacher provides. The teacher let her students read every detail in the visual aids, actually what was written on the visual aid were questions for the students to be answered. Many of them were raising their hands to answer questions and it simply indicates the student’s attentiveness, eagerness and understanding. As I closely observed the student’s simple gestures, it was inevitable for me to conclude that they were interested on the lesson. The focus of their sight was merely on the teacher and the learning resources, and some of them were frowning maybe it’s because they were very doubtful or dissented about the answer of their classmate. Those simple gestures of students were the indication of attentiveness, eagerness and understanding. Year Level of Class Observed: Third Year Date Of Observed: August 16, 2012 Subject Matter: Idiomatic Expression Using Participle Brief Description of Teaching Approach Used By the Teacher: The inquiry approach was used as a teaching approach. Inquiry is a recursive, ever revolving process driven by the learner’s ideas, questions and purposes for learning begins with personal connection. Teaching Aids Used

Strengths

Comments on Appropriateness of the Teaching Aids Used

Visual aids

The teacher knows how to efficiently utilize the materials.

It will be only weak if the teacher do not know how to efficiently utilize the material and if the content is not clear enough to students.

It assists the teacher in delivering her lesson, so it is appropriate to use this material for a large number of students inside the classroom and it is necessary for the teacher to use it because most of the students were visual students.

There is legibility on the content because students can quickly and clearly understand what was written.

Clerical errors could be also its weakness.

Comments on Appropriateness of the Teaching Aids Used

Chalkboard

It will be effective if it is used in a proper way such as; writing on the board must start from left side going to the right side and writings on board must be legible enough in order for students understand quickly and clearly.

It will only be weak if the teacher does not know how to efficiently utilize it.

The appropriateness of this material can maximize learning inside the classroom. It is appropriate to use this during activities so that students can compare their answers by writing it on the board provided by a teacher’s guidance.

1. Analysis 2. 1. What do you think prompted the teacher to choose the materials/learning resources that she/ he used? In my own understanding, the teacher wanted to let her students to be attentive and participative in their lesson, and also let her students utilize their analytical skills. The instructional materials used were the perfect fit because the purpose was accomplished. It really catches the attention of the students and it aids the teacher’ intention. The instructional materials serves as a clear representation that was capable of giving clear information, through this, ht students were actively engaged in the discussion and the teacher was trying to use her creativeness and resourcefulness to facilitate the learning. 1. 2. What difficulties, if any, did the teacher experience? How can this be managed? As I closely observed, there was no difficulty that the teacher experienced. The class was well managed and the teacher did not find it hard to convince her students to participate in the discussion and activity. There was an interaction between the students and the teacher, and the teacher makes sure that her students stay on task as observed. 1. 3. Over-all, were the learning resources/materials used effectively? Why? Why not? Yes, all students were actively engaged in the discussion by answering the questions written in the visual aid and some of them were able to answer what was asked. The teacher gives appreciation to those students who answer the questions correctly and to those who were not able to give their correct answer; the teacher gives feedback to improve learning. Through the score of students on their quiz that shows a positive result, I can conclude that learning material was used effectively. Reflection 1. Put yourself in the place of the teacher. What would you do similarly and what would you do differently if you will teach the same lesson to the same group of students? Why? If I will be the teacher of that class teaching with the same lesson, I will also provide activities in order for students to have an opportunity to practice and apply their learning after learning a particular knowledge, skills and attitudes. I will also use the same teaching approach which is the inquiry approach. If it is possible, I will integrate the use of ICT tools because the concept of computer literacy for students has been redefined (creating web pages, digitizing multimedia and the use of social networking sites) thus I have to be aware of this trends, as my own teaching effectiveness will depend on my understanding of these recent technological trends. With this reason, I will create a game through the use of projector in a way that has relation to the tropic. I will also present a power point presentation that contains my topic for that day. Through this, the students will be attentive and participative in the lesson and it brings convenience to my part. If the resources are not available, I will use the chalkboard and I will provide them an interactive activity by dividing them into groups to be followed by a short discussion, this is to facilitate the visual, auditory and bodily or kinesthetic learners. After I implement the instruction, I will evaluate students by providing an assessment method that is suited to the needs and interest of the students in order for me to measure the retention of students if they have achieved mastery, and to know if I’m going to proceed or revise the instruction. Episode 4 Tools of the Trade Name of Fs Student: Aspero, Jay Ar B. Course: Bachelor Of Secondary Education Year & Section: III-A Resource Teacher: Mrs. Marites A. Alvarez Cooperating School: Sagay National High School My Target At the end of this activity, we will gain competence in preparing instructional materials that are appropriate to the learning content. An Observation/Survey Guide Name of the School Observed: Sagay National High School Date of Visit: August 16, 2012 Some learning resources in the resource center seem to be useful for my chosen topic which was the parts and functions of microscope. As I parts and functions of microscope as my topic I also choose several learning resources such as chalkboard, books, power point presentation, mock ups, realia, photocopies, pictures and visual aids. I choose those several learning resources because for my topic because I believe that it can help me achieve my lesson objectives and to maximize learning inside the classroom. Since my topic is about parts and functions of microscope, so I can say that available materials are appropriate for my target year level which is the second year. Aside from power point presentation and visual aid I can also make flash cards, cut out letters, and as much as possible learning resources that are made from indigenous or recyclable materials. I Use graphic organizer to present the learning resources relevant to the topic chosen. On the line inside the box, I indicate if the resource is already AVAILABLE MAY BE PURCHASED OR WILL BE MADE Topic: Parts and Functions of Microscope Grade/Year Level: 2nd year Analysis Give at least three benefits of doing a survey of available materials before making your own materials your own materials? Explain each 1. 1. Doing survey of available materials will give me a new idea of what to make and how to make it. There may be unique learning materials that could be beneficial to the lessons that I will be teaching, and by looking at the other materials can have additional information on what to do. Through survey I can gain competence in preparing instructional materials that are appropriate to the learning content, learning objectives and learning styles of my students. 2. 2. Doing survey can help me realize what other learning materials that I need to make or avail in order to enhance learning in my class. Doing surveys provide several options as well as bases for me to choose so that I can produce an appropriate and effective materials that should be based on students characteristics or learning styles and to my lesson objectives. It is also necessary that the materials must be applicable to the subject matter. 3. 3. Doing survey may also help me evaluate the materials I will be making is beneficial or relevant to my lesson. The information that I have gathered during the survey will serve as my bases or guide on how I am going to evaluate my materials. It is important for me to evaluate the materials that I will be making so that I can produce an improved and developed materials based from the evaluation I have made, with this reason I can gain competence in making instructional materials that are appropriate to the learning content, learning objectives, and learning styles of my students. Reflection 1. Which of the materials did you like making the most? Why? I like making power point presentations because it’s easy for me to put different graphic designs, effects and transitions. I can also insert pictures, video clips and even sounds. My purpose of selecting power point presentation among other instructional materials is to make a clear representation and while presenting a topic, it is necessary for me to monitor and facilitate to make sure that students stay on task. I believe that making power point presentations aids in enhancing creativity. 2. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the materials? How did you overcome them? I do not encounter any problems in making presentation because the power point program has a guide on how to use it. Making a presentation using power point program is just an easy task for me. The only thing which I consider a problem for me is on how I’m going to deliver the content in my presentation. 3. What tips can you give teachers regarding presentation of teaching? The teacher must assess first what are the learning styles of his/her students. She/he must see to it that his/her materials will fit to the learning styles of the students and must be applicable for his/her subject matter for the materials to be effective. The chosen materials must be appropriate and can contribute to the achievement of learning objectives. In today’s generation, it is important for a teacher to meet the changing needs and interest of students, thus several factors must consider such as practicality, availability, cost effectiveness and appropriateness that is based on student’s characteristics or learning styles and lesson objectives. The teacher may also do surveys to the available materials or can search through the internet. Episode 5 Paper Works Name of Fs Student: Aspero, Jay Ar B. Course: Bachelor Of Secondary Education Year & Section: III-A Resource Teacher: Mrs. Marites A. Alvarez Cooperating School: Sagay National High School My Target At the end of this activity, you will gain competence in preparing instructional materials (hand –out) that are appropriate to the learning content. Subject Matter: Types of Chemical Reactions Grade/Year Level: 3rd year Outline: Combination reactions– in this type of reaction two or more substances maybe element or compound react to form a single product. The combination of iron and sulfur (http://chemistry.about.com/od/demonstrationsexperiments/ht/ironsulfide.htm) to form iron (II) sulfide is an example of a synthesis reaction: 8 Fe + S8 Õ 8 FeS Decomposition reactions– this type of reaction occurs when a compound breaks up into its component parts. It can be two or more substances out of a compound The electrolysis of water into oxygen and hydrogen gas is an example of a decomposition reaction: 2 H 2O Õ 2 H 2 + O 2 Replacement reactions– this type of reaction occurs when an element is set free from its compound producing a new element and new compound. An example of a substitution reaction occurs when zinc combines with hydrochloric acid. The zinc replaces the hydrogen: Zn + 2 HCl Õ ZnCl2 + H 2 Double replacement reactions- a type of reaction in which two compounds combined to form two new compounds by exchanging their radicals. An example of a double displacement reaction occurs between sodium chloride and silver nitrate to form sodium nitrate and silver chloride. NaCl(aq) + AgNO 3(aq) Õ NaNO 3(aq) + AgCl(s) Continuation of Hand-out Plan References: Macterton and Hurley. Chemistry, Principles, and Reactions. Saunders College Publishing, N.Y., 1989. Mapa, Fidelino and Rabago. Science and Technology III. SD Publication, Inc., 2001.3 Analysis 1. 1. After working on your handout, answer the following questions: What are the good features of a handout? A good handout must be concise and can be understood by the readers. There must be subtitles that make it easier to read and the key words must be in bold type in order to have an emphasis. To shorten it, the use of bullet point format may contribute as well as the use of diagrams, flowcharts and etc… Make sure that all the important pints of the presentation are on the hand out and do not include too much information, otherwise it can become cluttered. The content must be easily recognized and it must be sequence properly to avoid confusion. The content must have legibility. 1. 2. Which of these features are present in the hand out I made? Most of these features are present. The handout that I made was concise and comprehensive. The key concepts were emphasized because they are in bold type. I also use bullets, concept map. I contained all the important points of the presentation and I sequenced the details properly to avoid misconceptions. The use of bullets and concept map helps me to summarize the types of chemical reactions. 1. 3. Which features are not present in the handout I made? Honestly, there was a poor legibility on the handout that I made. My penmanship was not good enough to make my handout very attractive to the eyes of the readers, yet there is a chance to enhance its legibility by using one of the applications of a computer specifically the Microsoft word office. I did not use any subtitles because in my own point of view it is not necessary to use subtitles for that subject matter. Reflection 1. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter been making the handouts? How did you overcome them? To make a handout is not totally difficult as long as I have a reliable source or references and assistance from a computer. The only thing that took time and needed brain storming is the conceptualization of the flow of the handout and the concept map that I included. So first I did was to make an outline of the content of my handout then I read several references and searching through the internet just to form my concept map. I also find difficult in providing examples in every chemical reactions. So what I did was to read and understand the details in every chemical reaction so that I can give correct examples. 2. What tips can you give teachers regarding preparation of handouts? The teacher must identify first her objectives and the purpose in making the handout. Then he/she must conceptualize the flow and the content of the handout by making an outline. The teacher must also read several references so that the handout will be an informative tool for the students learning. In terms of the content of the handout the teacher must use subtitles in order for the students to read it easily and the keywords must be in bold type in order to have an emphasis. Bullet point format and concept map must be use to summarize the content. The teacher must put all the important points in the handout and he/she must not include too much information to avoid cluttering. The teacher must know how to sequence the content in order to avoid confusions Episode 6 Slide Show Biz Name of Fs Student: Aspero, Jay Ar B. Course: Bachelor Of Secondary Education Year & Section: III-A Resource Teacher: Mrs. Marites A. Alvarez Cooperating School: Sagay National High School My Target At the end of this activity, I will gain competence in developing and utilizing materials (slide presentations) which involve students in meaningful learning. Analysis 1. 1. What are the good features of a slide presentation? A good slide should include transitions or effects to put emphasis on some points of the lesson, but not too many. It must have also one design or theme for whole slides to avoid confusion or any misconception. The slides must not too long, nor too short to avoid cluttering in the slides. A pictures speaks thousands words, hence photos must be included in the slides to let students know what I am talking about. The contents of the slides are important points of the lesson and must not include the whole words that I have to say for the whole discussion. 1. 2. Which of these features are present in the slide presentation you made? The features that are present in my slide presentation that I have made are the transitions, effects, only one theme or design for the whole slide and also pictures that help students visualize their thoughts or ideas. My slide presentation was not too long or too short and I give emphasis on the contents because they are the important points of my lesson. 1. 3. Which features are not present in the slide presentation you made? All those good features of a slide presentation that I have cited are present in my slide presentation. I did not mention the sound effects and music, for me it is not essential to use all the time because it brings distraction to my discussion. There are times that music and sound effects are highly needed especially in presenting a video presentation Reflection 1. 1. What difficulties, if any, did you encounter in making the slide presentation? How did you overcome them? Making power point presentation is very interesting to me because I can do most that I wanted to do to make my slides a clear representation and as a tool of information sources. So far, there were no difficulties that I have encountered because the program has guides on how to use its features. If there is a certain feature which I don’t know how to use, then I just simply click help or go to a website specifically the Google to find the answer if there is an internet access. Episode 7 MY E-world Name of Fs Student: Aspero, Jay Ar B. Course: Bachelor Of Secondary Education Year & Section: III-A Resource Teacher: Mrs. Marites A. Alvarez Cooperating School: Sagay National High School My Target At the end of this activity, I will be decisive in terms of using on-line resource materials and interactive programs.

Brief Description Of The Material In The Website

Materials used were appropriate and effective in obtaining the learning outcome. The materials were also attractive and were used for labeling the different kinds of skeleton.

Evaluation of the website Strengths

Weaknesses

It allows the students to interact with real life situation without danger, expense or difficulty often associated with real situations. The website has an easy access tool for learning.

It will be only weak if there is no internet access and if the content of that website cannot provide the needs and interest of the students.

It provides the needs and interest of students. Before I give the topic or activities to be searched by students, I must ensure first that those topic and activities are consistent in my learning objectives. I must also give proper instruction to the students before they search such websites by explaining to them the learning goals to be achieved before searching any websites so that the students will stay focused during the activity. When students get confused, I must provide guidance and directions, guide questions and activities or scenarios. It is also important to have a follow up discussions to make some generalizations for that topic. Using the internet as an information tool is good and effective. Upon surfing on the internet, I saw many websites that have programs to make learning fun and effective. Some of the websites have games and other has tutorial programs but aside from those benefits, internet access may also be dangerous to the learners. From the websites I visited, some of the learning is incorporated with violence games and pornographic photos and videos which are not good influence to the students. Using internet as an information tool is good and effective but proper supervision of the teacher is highly needed and before giving the topic or any activity to be searched, I must check first the websites and choose those that are safe for the students. Over All Reflection As a future teacher someday, I will always bear in my mind that learners are rich in learning capabilities. The process of learning are highly unique and individual, this means that in a classroom there are individual differences that I must consider. I need to assist my future students to define and to make explicit to themselves the approaches they ordinarily use so that they can become more effective in problem solving and learning. I learned that one of the riches resources for learning is the learners himself. Each learner has an accumulation of experiences, ideas, feelings and attitude which comprise a rich vein of material for problem solving and learning. I consider learners as the richest resources for learning because they have their own aptitude which are their innate talent or gift , interest which express deep feelings for objects or actions and made their stay pleasant and enjoyable, they also have their own ability which pictates the prospect of success in any purposeful activity, attitude which is the learners perspective and disposition and last their family or cultural background which is their socio-economic background. I also learn that learning is the discovery of personal meaning and relevance of ideas. As a future teacher, I will only facilitate my learners and they are the one who will give the meaning of a concept. Just like for example, my topic is all about the leaf of a plant. I will let them have field trip outside the classroom to observe the leaf of a plant. I will guide them and I will demonstrate first and give some information about the leaf and its parts after that, they will give their own meaning or understanding about the leaf and its parts. Learning is gradual it’s because it is by stages or levels so as a future teacher someday I must extend my patience. To be good teacher someday I must have passion to both my work and to my students, I must have also humor in a way that has connection to the topic, also values and attitude, fairness, sincerity and honesty, and professionalism.

Grant them abundant resources to do their job, intelligence, wisdom, sensitivity, kindness, and the material things that make it possible to turn some of these tender green plants into the strong, stable trees that will lead our nation, to transform some of these buds into brilliant flowers that will bring light, color and happiness to all who encounter them, and to give every one of them the tools to be creative, and productive and to develop their own kind of success in the world. Lord, wrap Your loving arms around these teachers who give so much of themselves to grow our youth into creative, responsible adults. We pray that You will immerse them in your boundless, transcendent love. We pray that You will strengthen and soothe them when they have given so much of themselves that they need Your extra attention, Your extra care. We love, respect and admire these teachers, Lord and we pray that you will watch over them always– these special people who hold our children and our future in their hands. Amen. The intent of this portfolio is to provide and share experiences and ideas to those who will undergo the same undertakings. The content of this portfolio will help future mentors design a model of curriculum demonstrating considerations for basic and higher education, appropriate community linkages and stakeholders, address the monitoring of curriculum implementation and assessment of curriculum, and prepare an alignment of developing objectives, pedagogy and assessment. This portfolio is intended to introduce the education pre-service students to effective curriculum design and assessment. This portfolio will serve as a tool for information sources. To educate is to become a better educated. It is circular process that improves with time; we believe the responsibility of educators is to provide students with the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in academic, business and personal arenas. Our teaching philosophy is based on the belief that education is a solution to many social problems. Education provides the tools to make informed decisions, synthesize ideas, and critically evaluate relevant issues and to enjoy life. Therefore pursuing knowledge and working to improve our skills as an educator are among our highest priorities. As an educator, we will strive to encourage excellence in our students and ourselves. Course material should be challenging, interactive and relevant to current issues and events. Students learn and retain more information if the material is presented in an environment that is interesting and interactive. For this reason, we believe that using a variety of multimedia including video, slides, and the internet, is an effective way to complement traditional course lectures remains the foundation of the educational experience. We feel that we can encourage students to seek new knowledge and explore their own ideas by an enthusiastic presentation of both what is. And what is not known about subjects. When appropriate, the classroom setting should be expanded to include experience in the field. What better way to make the necessary connections among biological concepts than by observing how organisms interact with their environment? In our interaction with students, we will strive always to be respectful, especially when dealing with differing opinions that may arise as product of scientific thinking. We want our student to learn to think critically, not merely to accept our ideas and opinions; our drive to pursue higher education was due in part to several teachers who inspired catalyst for other people to pursue their dreams. A teacher is one who, Can groom every creation, A teacher is one who, Can enhance every admiration, A teacher is one of, The true inspiration, A teacher is one who, Give us our right elevation, A teacher is one to give, Us a chance to step in there generation, With them our life, is full of celebrations, They may dare to use quotation; And these quotation, Should have fixations, Every student is unsuccessful, Without there inspiration, After all a teacher is more important Then Alfa, Beta, Gamma and Newton. Simran Arora Name of Fs Student: Sanchez Jasmine H. & Aspero, Jay Ar B. Course: Bachelor Of Secondary Education Year & Section: III-A Resource Teacher: Mrs. Marites A. Alvarez Cooperating School: Sagay National High School Our Target At the end of this activity, we should be able to describe through our reflection of how the school promotes partnership and dialogue. Name: Sanchez Jasmine H. & Aspero, Jay Ar B. Year/Course: BSED III-A School Observed: Sagay National High School – Extension Year level: Third Year Section Kamagong Subject Observed: English Student-to-student Interactions Pattern: The student groups themselves according to their sex, girls and girls and boys and boys. For the girls they want to play a hand game, while the boys are playing ball games. Student to student interactions are the simplest interactions, they have their own way of understanding, and students are noisy when they interact. Sometimes they talk nonsense, boisterous topic to make them laugh, they have many topics about their love life, likes and dislikes, inspiration, and motivation. Student to student interactions are the interactions takes long period of time when they see each other. Student-to-Teacher Interactions Patterns: Student to teacher interactions can be observed in every classroom during discussions. Teacher is the facilitator and the students are the learners. Student to teacher interactions are effective because students give their thought and ideas during lectures. Student must respect the teacher as their mentor in learning. Teacher-to-Student interactions: Teacher considered the students as their children; they show care and love to them, teachers are concerned of the student’s needs that is why they never stop teaching every day about the things they want to share about their knowledge to educate each student. Teacher is the most respective person in the classroom; students should follow the rules and regulations implement by the teacher and student should perform activities that the teacher assigned to them. Student-to-non-teaching Interactions: Student to non teaching interactions are happened to the other person in our learning environment, these are the janitors, canteen personnel, security guard and vendors found in school. Student interact with them with little respect, Student considered them as an ordinary people in the learning environment. Teacher-to-Teacher Interactions: Teacher to teacher interactions are the professional type of interactions because of their profession. Teachers interact with teacher during their school meetings, programs and sessions. When they interact, it is different because they talk quietly not just like student, and teachers don’t have long period of interactions it depends only on their availability of schedule because teachers are so busy with their commitment to the learners. I can see them only interact during their meal time were they have a formal conversation just like the other people do. Script Dialogue of student-student interaction (Students talking at the classroom after the flag ceremony) Linda: Good morning, Jenny. How are you? Jenny: I’m fine, Linda, thank you. How about you? Linda: Just fine. Anyway, I just wanted to ask you what I will bring as a contribution for our project for the second grading. Jenny: Ah… since, we will be making a poster depicting the theme for the “Buwan ng Wika”, I will just let you bring articles about President Manuel Quezon. Linda: Sure Jenny. Thank you Mary: What about me, Jenny? What can I bring? Jenny: You will be the one to bring cartolina. Mary: Okay Jester: I will be bringing art materials Jenny. Jenny: Okay, thank you. I will just be the one to provide a plastic cover Glen: So, then all the materials we need are already assigned. How about making the poster? Who will draw it? Linda: Do you have ideas who among our group members have a talent in drawing? Mary: Hey, Victor. Didn’t you a contestant of art-making contest in our elementary years? Victor: Yes, but I’m not very good at it. Mary: No, I think you were great. You just have to believe in yourself. Glen: Yes, Victor. Mary is right. I know you have the talent because I have seen your sketches in your notebook. Victor: But I’m afraid I will just disappoint you all. Jenny: No, Victor. Don’t judge yourself yet. We, your co-members believe in your talent. Linda: Yes, you can do it, Victor. Jester: I’m sure you can do it, Victor. Good luck. (CHORUS): We are sure you can, Victor. Good luck! Victor: Okay guys. I will accept the task. Thank you for encouraging me and believing in me. (CHORUS): You’re welcome. Jenny: So, all is settled. Thank you for your cooperation classmates. We should come early tomorrow so that we can start early. 1. 1. Why is a classroom a miniature of a greater society? A classroom is a miniature of a greater society because in a classroom like a greater society has various kinds of individuals with different attitudes and personalities and like a greater society, these individuals work together for the attainment of a certain goals which are necessary for their living and survival. Classroom is the miniature of a greater society because in the classroom students have different kinds of attitude, opinions, interest and dreams. And these students are considered as individuals just like what we see in the society. In the classroom student shares their own point of view as a part of the community. Students started to ask questions to other, in classroom students practice good moral and right conduct. In the classroom, students learned a lot of things from their teacher, classmates and experience. To be responsible person as they joined in the community to create harmonious living, a good person should follow laws and limitations as a Filipino citizen in the society. 1. 2. What are found in the classrooms that are similar to what can be observed in society? Primarily, we can find different personalities inside the classroom so as in a society. Varied personalities exist and interact with each other and are helping each other to achieve whatever plans that will be beneficial to them and their society. Another thing is the materials in the classroom which are equivalent to all the resources available to the people in a society. These materials they utilize to produce crops or finished products for their living. The similarities that are found in the classroom that can be observed are interactions of different kinds of people, styles and wants. Every individual have the right and freedom of what they are doing with responsibilities on their actions. In the classroom that has a community just like in the society people reacts interdependence and independently. v Cooperation and Partnership in a curriculum design is very important because if there is a partnership, not only single idea can be presented but several which will contribute to a better concept for curriculum design and if there is a cooperation, the task involved will be easier since the persons involved can work hand in hand for the success of their work. v Partnership and cooperation is very important in Curriculum Design in a way that whatever flaws or mistakes can be corrected or modified earlier. v Cooperation and partnership must come together because they are interrelated to each other in designing, selecting or choosing content and activities and the determination of what to evaluate. The Clarity you gave to me, It shone like Angel rays, Like water rushed on golden sands, And crashed along the bays. The questions deep within my heart, Confused my humble mind, Yet when you spoke your words aloud It seemed, no longer I was blind. The answers all came flooding in, They touched my inner soul, The knowledge that you gave to me Within my heart I hold. I understood that the events That troubled me somehow, Was nothing to be frightened of, Instead I should be Proud. I Thank You Sir most graciously, These words I say aloud, For the Clarity you’ve given me, Has made me feel quite proud. Dee Mcdonald Name of Fs Student: Sanchez Jasmine H. & Aspero, Jay Ar B. Course: Bachelor Of Secondary Education Year & Section: III-A Resource Teacher: Mrs. Marites A. Alvarez Cooperating School: Sagay National High School Our Target At the end of the activity, we should be able to describe the interaction pattern that occurs between the teachers and learners as provided in the curriculum. School Observed: Sagay National High School Year level: Third Year Section: Kamagong Subject Observed: English Observations: The error of the student in answering was properly corrected by the teacher by explaining to the class the correct answer, thus the student who answered was not ashamed. Situation The Dialogue

TEACHER

STUDENT

Discussion of the Lesson about Noun using appropriate participle.

“Identify what is the participle in the sentence.”

Student 1: “Gathered his things, ma’am”.

“Ah, huh… are you sure?”

Sentence 1:

Student 2: “Disappointed, ma’am”.

“Okay, correct. Always remember that a participle is always located near the subject”.

Disappointed, the applicant gathered his things and left.

(All Students): “Yes, ma’am”.

Personal Reflections on the dialogue: Because of the dialogue of the teacher and the students, things which are important for the subject- matter being discussed were clarified and the errors of the students were corrected. 1. 1. How important are dialogue and substantive conversation in the classroom in terms of students’ learning? Dialogue and substantive conversation in the classroom are very important to student’s learning in a way that dialogue and substantive conversation enable the teacher to see if the students are capable of analyzing and synthesizing material. The reality of the situation is that it can become a reason for students to avoid more class work. Students love to discuss, but the teacher should know when it is time to stop the conversation and move on. One of the advantages is that some students will use this time to take a mental rest while some students are contributing to the dialogue. One of the disadvantages is that when a student is not willing or not interested to the conversation will become a distraction and ruins the flow of the dialogue. Dialogue is important but the teacher should have a control of the time allotted to it. Interactions will be produced between students and teacher and it gives way to both teacher and students to express their thoughts, thus there will be a harmonious relationship in the classroom. 1. 2. What learning benefits could teachers and students draw from intentional classroom dialogue? The dialogue will greatly assist both students’ and teachers’ abilities to speak publicly and privately. It will develop their thought processes and make for much more engaging and intriguing conversation as well as improve vocabulary and speaking confidence of both students and the teacher. When the student are engaged in the dialogue there is a great chance to improve their own listening skills as well as it produces a much more attentive class and makes the job of the teacher easier. Classroom dialogue produces interaction in the discussion. It develops selfconfidence of students to freely express their ideas toward others. It also helps students to develop or exercise their comprehension and critical thinking skills. v Dialogue is very important in curriculum design because through this, all the persons involved can express their ideas, opinions and insights which may contribute in designing curriculum and that all the aspect like the advantages and the disadvantages will be addressed and properly handled or presented. v Having a dialogue in curriculum design is a good idea to implement. In order for us to design a curriculum, we need all the ideas we can get and that is by having a dialogue with everyone. Communication is important when making an important project such as curriculum design because sometimes we may not see any defect or weakness in the design but if others concerned are around they may notice it. I have had nowhere to turn I had a lot to learn not just about math science and English about life But you listen and never told I have never known what that felt like before I remember when I would sit and sob on the floor Then you came and guided me To bad this is my last year at this school Seems just like yesterday I walked into your 7th grade class Boy that was a blast To bad walking down the hall will be my last But now I’m going to 9th grade going to a whole new school But I will always keep that simple rule live your life but when I walk into that brand new place I always remember your sweet smiling face the face that gave me strength and courage to keep going keep moving don’t let anything stop me I hope this doesn’t mean that we can never talk I hope we keep in touch so I won’t end up alone sitting on the floor again and all I could do was moan So thank you for being my friend I am so sad that our trust may have to end Darby Name of Fs Student: Sanchez Jasmine H. & Aspero, Jay Ar B. Course: Bachelor Of Secondary Education Year & Section: III-A Resource Teacher: Mrs. Marites A. Alvarez Cooperating School: Sagay National High School Our Target At the end of this episode, we should be able to deliberate on the principles involved in designing the curriculum and the learning activities provided.

The Learning Environment

Subject Matters Covered

Library And /Or Internet Resources

If the learning environment is pleasant and free from distractions, the students can focus their full attention to the discussion of the teacher.

The learner must have a prior knowledge of the subject matter that will be tackled. They should have an understanding of what a noun is, in order for them to properly associate it with other parts of the sentence so that it will be grammatically correct.

Instructional materials like books help the teacher in teaching the lesson to the students and the transferring to them the knowledge and the principles associated in the topic.









The learning environment is of vital factor in motivating students to learn, thus it should be pleasant and comfortable enough to be stayed in.

Since idiomatic expressions do not have exact meaning as the words they represent, therefore they should be explained carefully to the students for them to arrive at the accurate meaning and avoid misconceptions.





The learning environment is of vital factor in motivating students to learn, thus it should be pleasant and comfortable enough to be stayed in.



Using books is helpful to the teacher in teaching the idiomatic expressions because it gives various examples and situations for the students to understand. Likewise, using quotes from movies/ films will be easier for the teacher in conveying the meaning of the idiomatic expressions because students will interpret the meaning based on the situation in the movie. Books are appropriate instructional materials for the subject matter because it provides explanations and examples in elaborate manner.















In discussing direct speech to indirect speech subject matter, the student should first know what is subject and what the predicate is so that they will know how to rearrange the sentence directly and indirectly based on the subject and the predicate.

1. 1. Why should teachers know about curriculum design? It is the teachers who develop and implement the curriculum. Planning and writing the curriculum are the primary roles of teachers. He/she writes a curriculum daily through a lesson plan, a unit plan or a yearly plan. Teachers are the ones who prepare activities for the students to do and the ones who designs, enrich and modify the curriculum to suit the learner’s characteristics. Teachers are empowered to develop their own school curricula taking into consideration their own expertise, the context of the school and the abilities of the learners. Teachers should know about curriculum design because through their knowledge on what a curriculum must contain or must cover, the needs of the learners would be addressed by the time they will undergo experiences associated in that curriculum and he can provide better learning to every student by using appropriate techniques which correspond to the needs and inclinations, interest and understanding of the student. 1. 2. What do most principles and theories of curriculum development have in common? How this commonality expressed or spelled out in the curriculum of the class you have observed? The commonality was also expressed through the learning activities that the teacher provides, through this, the teacher gives emphasis on the performance of the students. The curriculum is deemed to be successful if the performance of the learners is higher than the target set. However if the performance of the students is low then it follows that the curriculum has failed. A good curriculum is one that results in high or excellent performance of students. The principles and theories of curriculum development contain common aspects which are the welfare of the students. This commonality was expressed in the class through the effort of the teacher to teach the students, to provide them the knowledge of their lesson and making sure that they understand the lesson well by asking those questions and by giving tests. From our FS experience, we keep in touch with our most meaningful learning and we express it through abstract visual representation. We use appropriate colors to represent our feelings and significant learning. I remember the times when you were there for me through my many tears you helped me really see that you always there for me you stood close to me like a friend, there for me until the end I will never forget you, the things you helped me through, I saw my inspiration it is you you were always there when I needed you I now will always have great memories of you You would ask me “how are you doing”? ” I would say I’m fine as tears start to form in my eyes you always knew that I was really not fine You help me through it all coming to save me every time I fall If I could say one word that wouldn’t tell it all If I say goodbye to you I will just fall apart because you have always been in my heart I don’t want to lose you you care about me and I care about you too I remember the day I first met you and you met me it was like it was really meant to be you are someone I hold close to my heart there I know that we will never be apart Asha Cook Name of Fs Student: Sanchez Jasmine H. & Aspero, Jay Ar B.

How important is involvement of all stake holders of the school in the school’s programs and activities? The involvement of teacher, students, parents, curriculum administrators and managers, and community members has a powerful influence to the success of the school’s programs and activities. When parents are involved in school’s programs and activities, they can help in giving brilliant ideas on how the programs and activities become more intellectual and challenging for the students. They can also help in covering some of the expenses in the programs and activities. The involvement of teachers and students is highly needed because teachers could serve as a facilitator and students are the key participants in school’s programs and activities. The choice of the activities, the methods to be utilized, and the materials to be used is one of the considerations that the teachers should have in curricular implementation. The involvement of a curriculum administrators and managers is of great help in approving the school’s programs and activities. They have a great concern about what kind of curriculum their schools offer and how these are implemented. 1. 2. What specific principle of curriculum development justifies the importance of cooperation and collaboration among all stakeholders of the school? Stakeholders have the power to grant or decline all programs in the school. If they do not get involved in the activities and programs, there are probably no activities that will be implemented at all. It is important that they participate in the planning so that they would find out if the activity or program proposed is necessary or not. Since they hold the highest position, they are the ones who allocate the budget for the proposals. Stakeholders need to understand perfectly the goals of these proposals because if not, they could just turn down a very important program because of the high cost or sometimes, it could go the other way around; they could implement unnecessary programs because of low cost, it does not only waste effort but time and money as well. Also by being involved in these events, parents see how much the school is dedicated for their children’s learning. If everyone in the school is involved in the learning of the students, it reflects a good school. v Cooperation fosters learning. Two heads are better than one. People enjoy, functioning interdependently but they also enjoy functioning independently. The interactive process appears to people’s curiosity, potential and creativity, thus as people invest themselves in collaborative group approaches they develop a firmer sense of their own identification. They begin to realize that they count, that they have something to give and to learn. v The school stakeholders must be able to maintain a good working relationship with each other. That is why there must be no room for any mistakes in an environment where student’s learning might be jeopardized. We are all aware that no one is really perfect, that is why we must join our heads together to come up with ideas for the betterment of the school. v The school cannot function solely as a single entity without the help and support of the people around it. In order to be effective and serve the purpose the school aimed for in the first place, it should consider the expectations, the needs and aspirations of the society and the learners themselves provide learning experiences and activities and skills of the student. In the same manner, agencies and other institutions outside the school should work hand in hand with the school, providing insights and opportunities and support, updating the school with the current trends in the society. I had nowhere to turn, had nowhere to go. this is just something I think you need to know I don’t know what made me trust you I still remember the day when I told you what I’ve been through I thought I should run away, go hide in a hole but then you really brought out my true soul As each day grew longer our trust became stronger each time I wanted to cry you stayed there right by my side then I moved to the next grade Boy was I afraid that our trust would slowly fade but I was wrong we are still strong even though sometimes you don’t have time you at least ask me if I am fine even though sometimes I am not I feel like I have just been shot I smile and say yes I’m alright then I walk away and your out of sight I’ll just have to wait I still have my fate I am so glad that you were there when I was sad and this is what makes you Not just my 7th grade teacher, my friend Darby Name of Fs Student: Sanchez Jasmine H. & Aspero, Jay Ar B.

1. 1. How important is it for teachers and curriculum planners to anchor their curricular plans to specific theories and principles of curriculum development? Theories and principles of curriculum development serve as the basis of learning and how it should be taught. It gives the teachers the ideas on how to implement their curricular plans in order to achieve their desired outcomes which is learning. It is not necessary that all the time teachers would always rely on a specific theories and principles of curriculum development because some theories and principles may not be applicable for the enhancement of students’ learning due to the changing needs and interest of the students. If teachers and curriculum planners ignore the importance of these theories and principles, they could make a mistake of missing some important aspects in learning. With this reason, students must be given the chance to construct their own knowledge or ideas and as much as possible, mistakes must not be an option. 1. 2. Aside from the teachers, who else should be involved in the curriculum planning? Expound your thoughts. Aside from the teachers, there are still many individuals that should be involved in the curriculum planning, that is, the parents, the people in the community surrounding the school institution, the school administrators and most of all, the learners. These different stakeholders must be involved in the curriculum planning in order that the curriculum will be relevant and will be a functioning and useful tool in attaining the success of the society through educating individual student. The learners should take part in the planning of the curriculum so that their needs and concerns will be addressed, and they will be provided the appropriate experiences and activities useful for their subject areas. In the same manner, the parents should also be involved in curriculum planning so that they would have the knowledge or ideas on what means they will adopt in supporting their children who will undergo such curriculum; they will have the knowledge on how to adjust and how to seek means in supporting their child financially. Learners, Teachers and Parents Learners as center of educational process Are the very reason a curriculum is made Learners’ experiences should be given emphasis And learners’ needs and interests should be addressed. In implementation of the curriculum Teachers are the most crucial persons. The key to effective curriculum implementation Is the understanding inside the classroom. Parents as supporters of the curriculum Become environment part of learning at home Parents provide materials that aren’t in home And especially the moral values and norms. Jasmine Sifel H.

1. Why do teachers need to align the objectives, strategies, and assessment? When there is alignment in our objectives, strategies and assessment, we are assured that we are doing the right thing in educating our students. Sometimes because of external pressures, teachers tend to stray from their objectives, teachers tend to prepare strategies that will not benefit everyone in the class when students’ needs and interests are too diverse from one another, and lastly when doing assessment, teachers forget that not all assessments can cover all students in demonstrating their achievements. That statement was according to the idea of FS3 Student BEED3 in San Jose Christian Colleges, but in contrary with this statement, teachers should strictly observed their objectives, prepare strategies that will benefit the students’ needs and interest, and lastly teachers should use an appropriate assessment method that can help them provide feedback, guidance and mentoring the students so as to help them make a better plan and execute their educational program. Planning is a crucial part of teaching so before we go out to teach students, we have to make sure that we have done our best in planning our instructions. 1. 2. How should teachers align their objectives, strategies and assessment? Suggest some strategies. In aligning objectives with the strategies, they must be planned together. Objectives will be the basis of the instruction, so prepare an objectives that are observable to the behaviors of the students. Then, select teaching strategies that can benefit he needs and interests of the students, and that are suited and effective to accomplish the objectives. Lastly is the assessment, this should not be taken for granted. A high quality assessment must be clear, appropriate, valid, reliable, fair, practical, efficient and ethical, and must have positive consequences. If those characteristics are present in the assessment, it will be easy for the teachers to evaluate if they have accomplished their objectives and if they had used appropriate teaching strategies. By this, we do not waste time and effort in trying to teach our students, and soon we can provide a competent, productive and a student that is responsive to the needs of the society. What was been your most meaningful experience in this episode? What makes it meaningful to you? How could such an experience help you become a better teacher? Failures are just learning experiences, the only failure is the one from which you have learned nothing. Our most meaningful experience in this episode and mostly in this FS4 was when we observe a class. Its significance helps us to understand the principles and theories of curriculum development that lead us to become more eager to be in the field. The experience opened our eyes to the hardships a teacher undergoes just to teach students effectively. We realized that to be effective teacher, we should have an outstanding personal qualities such as “passion” that refers to our dedication and love to our work and to our students, “humor” in such a way that has relation to the topic so that none of the students lose interest in listening, “values and attitude” that can eliminate discriminations thus we must be unbiased and objective in judging our students work and performance, “sincerity and honesty” which is exhibited in words and actions, “patience” refers to our selfcontrol and persistence, “enthusiasm and full of energy”, and lastly flexible with our schedule whenever the situation demands it so. I was on the edge trying to get through life listened to my friend and started cutting over two in a half years of cutting looking for attention from any one a teacher was there willing to help I was in the dump and well I got all plumed for a way to make it through life. I found a way to make my life sweet, thanks to a sweet teacher who cared, and for now on I life my life, for all the right reasons, I live my life for the children of the world who are helpless and sick and want to be loved.
