my heart.

DURATION AND PLACE OF WORK IMMERSION

I was deployed at Cateel Central Elementary School together with my companions

namely:Cathyrine, Lucy, and Christian Mangin We started our work immersion on May

3, 2023 and ended on May 12, 2023. We arrived in our workplace very early around 7:00

am and always departed around 11:10 A. M. since we were assigned on the class of grade

1 section (PUNCTUALITY) I During afternoon our arrival was exactly 1:00 P M. and

departed at 4:10 PM. Our workplace is very comfortable because of the ambiance inside

the classroom as well as the students who are very cheerful and participative though there

are few who are really hardheaded, however, it was bearable. Even the teacher is very

considerate, she would always ask us if it's okay if she would ask for help from us. The

workplace is a eco friendly to teachers and learners. It is a good learning environment to

the pupils out there. Throughout our work immersion. I learnt a lot. including how to

handle pupils, particularly those who are difficult to manage. I learnt that a teacher must

have the most patience in order to overcome the situations between pupils and other

extracurricular activities and things required by the school and to manage and preserve

the peace within and outside the classroom on a daily basis. While I was watching. I

understood that teaching is a noble career.

THE TRAINING AREA

HISTORY

The governance of basic education act of 2001 hereby states to protect and promote the

right of all citizens to quality basic education and to make such education accessible to all

by providing all Filipino children free and compulsory education in the elementary level

and so with high school. Along this line, three basic concepts of school governance is

imposed in which learning environment in a school should possess as a system which

carry out the principle of shared governance. With this principle, the goal is to empower

the school teams and personnel to deliver quality basic education services. Specifically,

under this mandate, the school head is tasked to spearhead in the crafting of School

Improvement Plan wherein the vision, mission, and core values of the department is

incorporated.

Sometime in 1922, by the virtue of the Gabaldon Law, under the Military Covernment

of the United States during this regime in the Philippines, hence the construction of

Cateel Central Elementary School was materialized. There was one building with two (2)

classrooms erected. It had three (3) teachers and ninety-three school children as

pioneered classes. After six years of endeavor and sacrifices comes the first graduation

exercises on 1928.
Cateel Central Elementary School is situated at Castro Avenue, Poblacion, the heart of

municipality of Cateel, with a land area of three thousand nine hundred thirty-three

(3.933) square meters titled under the name of the school. Within the same location is the

district office of Cateel Elementary Level, Esteel 1 District. At present the school is

spearheaded by Mrs. Cora Fe P. Delos Santos, School Principal II, with fifty-four (54)

teachers and one thousand three hundred fifty five (1,355) pupils enrolled. Currently, 49

classrooms are used for instructional purposes and twelve (12) of which are for ancillary

services.

MISSION

To protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality, equitable, culture-based,

and complete basic education where Students learn in a child-friendly, gender-sensitive,

safe, and motivating environment. Teachers facilitate learning and constantly nurture

every learner. Administrators and staff, as stewards of the institution, ensure an enabling

and supportive environment for effective learning to happen. Family, community, and

other stakeholders are actively engaged and share responsibility for developing life-long

learners.

VISION

We dream of Filipinos who passionately love their country and whose values and

competencies enable them to realize their full potential and contribute meaningfully to

building the nation. As a learner-centered public institution,The Department of Education

continuously improves itself to better serve its stakeholders.

ORGANIZATIONAL STRUCTURE

I was assigned to a workplace where the primary goal is to provide a safe and supportive

environment for learning, the Cateel Central Elementary School. The CCES environment

includes classrooms, offices, and common areas such as libraries, gymnasiums, and

cafeterias. The work of educators includes planning and delivering lessons, grading

assignments, conducting assessments, and providing individualized support to students.

Staff members provide administrative and operational support to the school, including

maintaining facilities, managing budgets, and ensuring compliance with regulations.

School administrators oversee the overall operations of the school, including hiring

personnel, managing resources, and setting policies and procedures. A school requires

collaboration, communication, and continuous learning to meet the needs of students and

create a positive educational experience for all.

EXPERIENCES

May 3, 2023/Wednesday

Today was the first day of our work immersion at the school, and I was excited to

get started. Before going to our designated room, we had an orientation session with the

school staff together with our work immersion adviser to learn more about the school's

policies and procedures, as well as their expectations for us as a work immersion student.

During the orientation, I learned about the school's dress code, attendance policy,

and safety guidelines. The staff also gave me a tour of the school and introduced us to

some of the teachers and other staff members.

We spent the rest of the day observing the class and getting to know the students. They

were very friendly and welcoming, and I enjoyed learning about their interests and

hobbies even though their so naughty and stubborn.

Overall, it was a great first day, and I'm looking forward to learned more and

OBSERVATION AND INSIGHTS

We were assigned to Grade 1 section (PUNCTUALITY) and met the children and

instructors there. The classrooms were well-organized, colorfully decorated, and

furnished with age-appropriate learning tools. The immersion was designed to provide us

hands-on experience in the classroom, allow us to observe teaching approaches, and offer

us with insights into the challenges and benefits of working with young learners. We

spent getting acquainted with the classroom location and observing the entire educational

environment. The training space was well-stocked with resources including textbooks,

visual aids, and learning tools intended exclusively for Grade 1 children. The

arrangement and accessibility of these materials pleased us, and they played an important

part in improving the learning experience for both students and teachers. Teachers

employed several tactics including direct communication, regular norms, and

encouraging behavior. We actively engaged in the training program and witnessed the

classroom dynamics firsthand. We observed trainers utilizing a variety of teaching.

strategies to accommodate the varied learning styles of Grade 1 pupils. The instructors

emphasized student-centered learning. promoting active involvement and giving pupils

opportunity to voice their views and ideas. We saw how teachers used questioning

strategies to encourage critical thinking and a feeling of curiosity in their students.

Our two-week work immersion in Cateel Central Elementary School provided valuable

insights into the training area and the training program. We observed how the training

area was equipped with resources and how teachers used effective instructional methods

and classroom management strategies to create an engaging and inclusive learning

environment. We gained a deeper appreciation for the hard work and dedication of

teachers in molding the minds and hearts of young learners.

Over all Reflection and Self-Appraisal

During my work immersion journey , I learned in many things that I can surely bring and

use someday. One of those things is that, in spite of the many tasks, you have to continue

and finish those because it’s your duty that you need to follow and do. I also learned how

to socialize with other people especially with the students. Even though every Students

has a different attitude that hard to deal with, you need to stay positive and smile all the

time because as saying goes by and as an employee, you have to obey that rule. Being

well-behaved is also one thing that I learned because when you look at the students you

should be obedience and respectful. Another thing I learned is being a fast worker

because there are tasks that have time and need to be completed at a given time.

For every mistake, there is a life-lesson that you will get. There are also a lot of things I

did not do well when I was a student-trainee. But every mistake, this becomes an

instrument for me so that later on I can do all my tasks right and well. All these mistakes

serve as an inspiration to me to become a better person every day and do better to avoid

future mistakes.
