SECOND QUARTER

In the second quarter, my learner-centered approach shifts

towards developing students' writing skills. I guide them through
the writing process, from brainstorming and planning to drafting,
revising, and editing. I provide models and mentor texts to illustrate
different writing styles and genres, and I encourage students to
express their creativity and voice in their writing. Through peer
collaboration and feedback, students learn to reflect on their own
writing and make improvements. I also incorporate grammar and
language conventions instruction within the writing process to
reinforce effective communication skills.
FOURTH QUARTER

In the fourth quarter, I aim to foster a deeper appreciation for

literature and develop critical thinking skills through the study of
literary texts. I select age-appropriate novels, short stories, and
poetry that align with students' interests and address relevant
themes. Through close reading, analysis, and discussions, students
explore literary elements, such as characterization, plot, and
symbolism. I encourage them to make connections between the text
and their own experiences and perspectives, fostering empathy and
a deeper understanding of human nature.
Throughout the entire year, I embrace a learner-centered
approach by incorporating student choice and voice in the learning
process. I provide opportunities for students to select their own
reading materials, topics for writing assignments, and projects that
align with their interests and learning goals. I value their opinions
and ideas, encouraging active participation in class discussions
and decision-making. By empowering students to take ownership of
their learning, I foster intrinsic motivation and a sense of
autonomy.

Assessment is an integral part of my learner-centered

philosophy. I use a variety of assessment methods, including
formative assessments, quizzes, writing portfolios, and performance
tasks, to gather evidence of students' progress and understanding.
I provide timely and constructive feedback that focuses on growth
and improvement, guiding students towards their learning goals. I
also involve students in self-assessment and reflection,
encouraging them to set personal goals and track their own
progress.

My goal as an elementary English teacher is to nurture

confident and effective communicators who can express themselves
clearly, think critically, and appreciate the power of language and
literature. By creating a learner-centered environment that values
individuality, promotes active engagement, and fosters a love for
learning, I aim to equip students with the language and literacy
skills they need to succeed academically and thrive in their
