insecurities and anxieties

I handled a grade 1 class.

I questioned myself if I really know how to teach.

I doubted myself but in time, I gained confidence.

I experienced nervousness, stuttering; shaking of hands

I had difficulty adjusting.

Lack of mastery

The knowledge students get from us is ‘half-cooked’

I’m not knowledgeable with the subject.

There are questions of some pupils that you can’t answer.

I had difficulty learning all the subjects as I had to teach them all.

Major obstacle was lesson planning, was not trained for it.

Lack of teachings trategy and techniques

I find it hard to learn the approaches to teach the subject not my field.

Class participation of pupils became an obstacle.

Reading performance of pupils was my concern.

Behavioral problems were my major obstacles.

Had problem with students who really can’t read despite efforts to teach them well.

Being able to shape up and progress

I became more flexible; not limited to one assignment.

I have learned so many things; my trainings were varied.

After a while, it seems as if I am doing the right thing.

I saw that students were already learning from me.

I felt I am becoming an effective teacher.

Coping

I have this high level of patience suited for this grade level.

I am able to teach practical lessons rather than theories and principles found in the book.

My strength is the way I handle kids; i.e., I can get their attention.

I am able to teach them effectively in reading.

Students are frightened of me and follow my order always
