 ANALYZE
Refer to the results of your observation to answer the questions that follow.
1. Which of the three responsibilities shows majority of the indicators being
practiced?
A. Actual Teaching?
B. Management of Learning?
C. Administrative Work?

Among the three, actual teaching shows the majority of indicators being practiced.
Because as I observed, almost of the routines are generalize and located at this
responsibility. This is the actual procedure of teaching and learning process as it
indicates demonstration, assessment personality towards students’ needs and
interests, the alignment of the objectives and an instruction that is learner-centered.

2. Which demonstrated behavior, do you find in the teacher that is worthy of

emulation when you become a teacher? Describe.

Based on my observation, the demonstrated behavior of the teacher that is worthy of

emulation when I become a teacher is the way she approach her students as well as her
colleagues. As a future teacher, this is the kind of behavior I want to practice and improve
because it will make my teaching more effective and also, I have a strong relationship with my
students through addressing all their needs.

3. Which of the major responsibilities does this teacher find difficult to comply
with? What are the reasons?

I think it is the administrative work because she said that there are times that students
fail to pass their works on time so it is resulted in a delay of teacher's student report
about student's performances.

4. From your perspective, would you consider this teacher as quality teacher?
Why?

Yes, I would still consider this teacher as quality teacher because she is intelligent
enough to impart knowledge and use varied instructional materials to address the
needs of her students. She has also mastery of her subject matter. Although there are
some difficulties happening inside the classroom but it is not a hindrance for her to
continue imparting knowledge to her students.
 REFLECT
Reflect on this question.

1. Are you inspired to become a teacher after your observation?

If yes, why? If no, why not?

After the observation, I am more inspired to become a teacher. Through when I was a kid I
thought I couldn’t fit to be a teacher because my cousins are telling me that they seemed
stress, over worked, flexible for short. But to cut the long story short, I can fit into the roles
of building myself to become a future teacher. As what I observed, I loved seeing students
succeed especially to their academic performance. The way my resource teacher showed
up to her students like how she love her field and her passionate in teaching makes me
eager to thrive hard to become like her someday.

2. When you become a teacher in the future, how else would you
do better as a professional teacher?

As a future teacher, to become a better professional is really a challenge. It is a

constant for a teacher to be knowledgeable and determined but I want to be better
more than just a teacher. I want to pay attention in believing in my students'
potential because the success of a teacher begins with the success of students. I will
encourage them to go beyond their capabilities. Motivation will make them try
harder and better. As a teacher, it doesn’t always mean that you know everything.
You also need to learn more about your field and other concepts. Being humble that
accepts one idea and opinions because even the most successful teacher doesn’t
know everything. Learning never stops.

3. When you become a teacher in the future, how else would you
do better as a professional teacher?

The concerns that I for see in the future as a quality teacher are discipline and
classroom management. We all know that learners nowadays are very disrespectful
and we cannot deny that. Being ready is a must, so I will set rules and reinforce
behavior if possible in order to discipline them in a right manner. I also want to set a
classroom setting which they are comfortable with as they listening and engaging
during my class discussion because I believe that, classroom management is
essential in teachingg as it sets the mood for good instruction.

4. When you become a teacher in the future, how else would you
do better as a professional teacher?

I want to take that as an opportunity to thank her for supporting, believing and
enlightening my way. I will congratulate her for being an effective teacher to me as well as
to her students that molds beyond not just my skills and personality but also her students. I
will acknowledge her for allowing me to soar high with her as my guide. No words can
deeply express how grateful am I to know her as a friend, mentor and light on the darkest
times. She invested efforts and knowledge that I will eventually treasure in my whole life
especially to my chosen field of specialization.

 REFLECT
Make a short paragraph on how you will manage teaching-learning in the 21 st century
classroom.

A 21st century classroom includes flexible, student-centered,

technology-based education, a collaborative and child-friendly
environment. Teachers are not only tasks to disseminate information to
young minds. Part of teachers’ job is to provide a conducive and
friendly learning environment that foster learning. It is really a
challenge to teach in the 21st century as it contains students that are
expected to be multiple intelligent.

Part of my job is to create a classroom that does not limit expectations.

To manage teaching and learning in the 21st century is also a need for
me to recognize classroom instructions. I will provide rules and policies
because it makes the instruction run smoothly and probably encourage
students to actively engage in the process. I would be more flexible and
serves as a facilitator because it is not necessary that a teacher always
provide the information. I need to give place for the students to take
over their learning as well as assessing them. I will teach them how to
adapt because 21st century learners contain many skills that you will
nourished. As the number one in-charge of this aspect, I will be more a
listener, good communicator, patient, a facilitator and a motivation
because we stand as the model of the classroom.

Activity 15.1 Narrative on the Day in the School Life of the Quality Teacher
It is known that teachers mold minds and create future professionals. Without them,
no one will guide young minds towards their destined path. They play the biggest role in
human growth physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally. Even before the sun rises,
teachers get ready all the materials needed for the class they prepared last night that made
them have less sleep. Yes, you are right. Teachers' jobs don't stop in school. As they reach
home, works continue for their learners' development. They plan everything for
tomorrow's class. Some of them barely sleep at all.
Now, as the teacher enters the room, this is their time to put into action all the
preparations and dedications they saved. As there are different types of students, teachers
are expected to unite these diversities. So, we can imagine how wide the obligations and
role of the teacher are. From all planning and physical preparations, they should also
become the second parent inside the four corners of the classroom. There are some
students who are hard to handle, of course. Teachers find ways to tame them. Passionate
and dedicated teachers make all things inside the room as interesting as possible, for this is
one of the ways to catch the learner’s interest and suppress rebellious character.
A day for a teacher is truly hectic, yet fulfilling duty in the end. To see the learners
motivated and enthusiastic to live out their dreams is the greatest reward a teacher can
receive.
