Dear Lord, bless these teachers mightily

as they seek to teach, enrich and guide

your precious children.

Grant them abundant resources to do their job,

intelligence, wisdom, sensitivity, kindness,

and the material things that make it possible

to turn some of these tender green plants

into the strong, stable trees that will lead our nation,

to transform some of these buds into brilliant flowers

that will bring light, color and happiness

to all who encounter them,

and to give every one of them the tools

to be creative, and productive and to develop

their own kind of success in the world.

Lord, wrap Your loving arms around these teachers

who give so much of themselves to grow our youth

into creative, responsible adults.

We pray that You will immerse them

in your boundless, transcendent love.

We pray that You will strengthen and soothe them

when they have given so much of themselves

that they need Your extra attention, Your extra care.

We love, respect and admire these teachers, Lord

and we pray that you will watch over them always–

these special people who hold our children

and our future in their hands.

Amen.

This portfolio serves as a compilation of learning experiences that could be

helpful to students taking the same field of specialization. The primary purpose of this

portfolio is to share the experiences during the 10 hours of observation to future

teachers.

This portfolio also aims to achieve the following competencies in:

Identifying and classifying resources that facilitate teaching and learning

processes;

Appraising the effectiveness of display boards as learning resources;

                             To educate is to become a better educated person.   It  is circular process that 

improves with time; we believe the responsibility of educators is to provide students with the 

necessary  knowledge and skills   to   succeed  in  academic,  business  and personal  arenas.  Our 

teaching philosophy is based on the belief that education is a solution to many social problems. 

Education   provides   the   tools   to  make   informed   decisions,   synthesize   ideas,   and   critically 

evaluate   relevant   issues   and   to   enjoy   life.   Therefore   pursuing   knowledge   and  working   to 

improve our skills as an educator are among our highest priorities.  

                           As   an   educator,  we  will   strive   to   encourage   excellence   in   our   students   and 

ourselves. Course material should be challenging, interactive and relevant to current issues and 

events.   Students   learn   and   retain   more   information   if   the   material   is   presented   in   an 

environment that is interesting and interactive. For this reason, we believe that using a variety 

of  multimedia   including  video,   slides,  and   the   internet,   is  an  effective  way   to   complement 

traditional course lectures remains the foundation of the educational experience. We feel that 

we   can   encourage   students   to   seek   new   knowledge   and   explore   their   own   ideas   by   an 

enthusiastic   presentation   of   both  what   is.   And  what   is   not   known   about   subjects.  When 

appropriate, the classroom setting should be expanded to include experience in the field. What 

better way to make the necessary connections among biological concepts than by observing 

how organisms interact with their environment?

                          In our interaction with students, we will strive always to be respectful, especially 

when dealing with differing opinions that may arise as product of scientific thinking. We want 

our student to learn to think critically, not merely to accept our ideas and opinions; our drive to 

pursue higher education was due in part to several  teachers who inspired catalyst for other 

people to pursue their dreams.

   In my 10 hours of observation, I can really say that “I learned a lot from this field study experience”.

The learners are the very reason why a school exists. In fact, they are the center of the educative process. As time changes, these learners are also changing. And as teachers, we should keep abreast with these changing demands of a learning society.

In teaching a specific lesson we can’t deny the fact that before we teach, we really prepared a lot. And one of these preparations is to choose the learning materials to be used during the teaching-learning process. So As teachers, we should be careful in choosing the learning materials to be used in teaching.

Try to ask ourselves, “Is this learning material appropriate to the lesson that I will be teaching? Is this appropriate to the needs and interests of my learners? Does this learning material helps in achieving the objectives of the lesson? And “Am I competent in using this learning material in teaching? These are only few of the concerns that we should consider as teachers in choosing a learning material to be used in teaching.

As teachers, we should have a great passion in teaching so that we may deliver our lesson with conviction. We must also have a sense of humor so that our students will be motivated to learn the lesson that we are teaching.
