MY PRACTICE TEACHING

PORTFOLIO

ORLY ABELLANOSABSEd - IV

Am I Really Prepared to Teach?

Yes, I am prepared to teach, as far as my knowledge

is concerned. This is because the knowledge and skills I

acquired at my college is more than enough. Moreover, it

is time for me to practice what I have learned in the

classroom. However, emotionally speaking, I think I am

not yet ready to face students in different attitudes and

characters. I still need to observe, adjust and get to know

my workplace better.

What’s Up? What’s Up?

My Cooperating School

What’s Up? What’s Up?

• On my first encounter with my cooperating teacher, I realized that she was not strict at all. She was willing to help me and was very approachable. She immediately handed us reference books and some inspiring words for us to go on.

• On my first dealing with the learners, I observed that they was very behave and they listened carefully as I introduced my name. some of them were smiling at me, and some were staring at me blankly.

My First Day Jitters

The school plays a very important role in the community. It shapes

the children of today to become a useful citizen in the future. Since school

is where their spent their time, it is very important that the school shows

good values and morals. ,So I need to help in molding the future

generation. As a teacher, I will be a role model of what is a useful citizen.

This is through providing quality instruction.

My Second Home

My Second Home

• If I already have my own class in the future, I want to employ classroom routine that is realistic and is helpful for me and my students. I will create routines that can be easily followed by all. Finally, I will also observe those routines religiously so that I will become a role model on my students.

• So that in the long run students will have an idea what to do before, during and after the class. Through this, there will be more time instructions and learning is more efficient.

• I realized / learned that it is very important

to listen to your cooperating teacher because

they have enough experience on what to do.

In addition to that, preparation is very

important. Planning for possible outcomes

will maximize success.

The Journey Begins with the First Step

(My First Activity)

• As a teacher, I need to prepare a lesson planthat is realistic and can be carried –outproperly. I will also ensure that I will write allthe things that need to be done in theclassroom. However, since this is just a plan, Iam open to some revision or changes on theactual teaching, when it is needed.Furthermore, I will also prepare a lesson planthat provides equal opportunity to everytype of learners.

Writing My “First” Lesson Plan in My Second Home

After making my first IMs, I realized that

creativity is also important in making

instructional materials. It must be attractive and

appealing to the students. Moreover, durability of

materials also counts. Because f that, I am not that

good in making my instructional materials

(Instructional Materials)

In making exam, remember to follow these suggestions:

1. Write questions and use formats that match the developmental levels of your

students.

2. Create questions that match the content covered and the objectives identified

for your content

3. Balance tests with both objective and subjective items in order to meet the

various learning styles.

4. Include questions that require the use of both higher and lower level thinking.

5. Create a detailed answer key to grade tests fairly.

6. Return graded tests within one week time so students can benefit from the

feedback.

My First Assessment Tool

As a student teacher, I need to learn how to

structure bulletin boards so that whenever I will be

assign to structure a bulletin board in the future, I

will not hesitate to accept the task. This will serves

as a practice for my future application. Moreover,

this can also develop my creativity, which I do not

have

Designing / Structuring the Classroom Bulletin Boards

After the activity, I learned that as a teacher

and a staff of the school, we must participate in

any school event. Not just because of the welfare

of the school but also for the development of our

skills and knowledge.

Doing auxiliary services will help teachers

develop their innate skills that sometimes cannot

be used in the teaching profession. Moreover,

teachers will also help the community in this way.

May I Help You?

(Doing Auxiliary Services)

Description of non-teaching duties (auxiliary services) which I performed and my self-ratings

After my demonstration, I realized that

teaching is not an easy profession. One must

sacrifice the comfort to fulfill the needs of the

learners. However, I also realized that I want to

teach and my heart is on the teaching

profession.

My First Classroom Demonstration Lesson

Disadvantages of Teenage PregnancyAmong High School Students

• Background

Meryl (not the subject’s real name), is a

graduating high school student of Dr. Gerardo

Sabal Memorial National High School. She is 17

years old and a residence of Claveria, Misamis

Oriental. As the researcher sees her, she is just like

a common teenager. But what makes her different

is that, she is 6-month old pregnant.

Meryl was a product of a broken family. Her

mother, a single housewife, was struggling hard to

raise her and her sister. She never met her father

until she was second year high school, only to find

out that her father has another family. Since then,

she was dreaming to have a father.

In her 1st, 2nd and 3rd year in high school,

she had fairly good grades ranging from 80 to

86. But as she entered 4th year high school, her

grades dramatically dropped. According to her,

it started when she knew she was pregnant.

• Description of the case

During classes, she was very silent and was

not participating. Sometimes she was absent or

comes in the school late. Her quizzes were very

low and no assignments were recorded. She was

very aloof in the classroom.
