MY REFLECTIONS

Every learner is an individual who learns and develops in their own unique
ways. Each of them has had unique experiences that have shaped their identities.
There are no two learners who are similar in their abilities, interests, and capabilities.

Inside the classroom, teachers usually encounter and succeeded in how

every learner shows their own identity and abilities, and being a teacher, it is
challenging to have a learner who belongs to an indigenous group. Regarding that,
the teachers must know how to treat and engage with them, most importantly he/she
must know how to cater and fulfill their special needs. Also, be familiar with the
background and culture of these learners.

To avoid discrimination or being bullied by other learners, the teacher must

discuss (as one of the teachers’ roles) also inside the class some factors that can
help the other learners realize that every learner, all of them were all the same thus
everyone must be accepted and respected. Maybe one of the others is from an
indigenous group but it doesn’t make them different from the others.

The situation given above is one of my assessments given to my 30 learners

inside the class which there were 5 of them are from indigenous people (IP). For me
to be able to consider each learner's group and able to prevent any scenarios that
are against their culture, I gave them the freedom to choose from the two sets (Set A
and Set B) of people in the community and let them ask their parents or anyone with
knowledge about the role of people that had chosen. Allowing the learners to choose
the set of people whom they knew and were familiar with is giving them chance and
helping them to easily accomplish the given task.

The mentioned scenario shows that each learner whether they belong to
Indigenous People (IP) or not is able to do the given task since they have the
freedom to choose and ask help for the knowledgeable people. Aside from that, as
their teacher, I explained to them the importance and distinctions of the people
mentioned from the given sets of people. I also mentioned the reason for letting
them select the set that they felt most comfortable answering. For the result, I am
expecting that each learner will have different responses to pass since they were
provided different tasks (the set a and set b) and each of them has various ways to
reason out.

Moreover, I always put in mind that as a teacher, it is our duty to protect

everyone’s rights to live freely and show themselves as whom they are. Everyone
deserves to be treated with respect, compassion, and equality. Our status, culture,
beliefs, or group may not be a basis for how each of us will be treated and accepted
in the society where we belong. We must understand that each of us is different and
unique.
