LET-TOS No. 2 (2.5) and 3(3.1-3.4)

My Learning Episode Overview

This episode illustrates the diversity of my learners. This will give me the chance
to acquaint myself with the needs, interests and abilities of my learners. Being aware of
these features will equip me with greater knowledge and understanding to ensure quality
instruction.

My Tasks (Activities)
A. Observe the learners on your first day of internship. What are your observation?
 At first, pupils are afraid to converse with us Pre-Service Teachers, but some
pupils that are friendly, they are eager to have a quick chat with me.
 Pupils will listen to any teacher especially to those who more authority within the
school.
 The pupils in my classroom are diverse, some needs more attention when it come
to their learning process, but others are more advanced or they can understand
comprehensively the lesson without a guidance from us.

B. Create an opportunity where you can gather their thoughts, ideas and feelings about
school / subject / classmates.

About their school

The Don Ricardo Briz Centra

 About their subject

The subjects in elementary is divided into higher and lower levels. For Lower level such
as the Grades 1- 3, all of their subjects are handled by the adviser/ teacher. While the
Higher Level such as the Grades 4 – 6, the subjects handled by the teacher are only 1-
x 3 subjects.

About their classmates

C. What are the rules I need to ensure quality instruction among my learners? Use
innovative ways to make your rules known and followed.
My Analysis
Why do we need to know the various types of learners?

We need to know the difference of learners in order for us teacher to incorporate activities
according to their needs, because there are various types of learners, differences with their learning
styles. That is why as teachers we have to know how they will be able to learn from the teaching
style that we use.

My Reflection / My Insights
As a teacher, how will you respond to the need of your diverse learners?
 Firstly, observe or do a background check of the learners, with that we will be
able to know how they can easily learn throughout their academic endeavors.
 In making activities, as much as possible make it as differentiated activities.
Letting them do different activities at the same time is actually good, so that they
will be able to learn according to their level or capabilities.
