REFLECTIONS ON TEACHING ( MY TEACHING EXPERIENNCES)

REFLECTIONS ON TEACHING (MY TEACHING EXPERIENCES)

On the first day of the Know Your School day, I was informed that I am qualified to be a Science A teacher. Today is the second day of the event, some of the hired teachers are already required to teach but not me. My schedule for teaching is still tomorrow, on Friday, because our class schedule for Science A is during Wednesdays and Fridays. Today is also the giving of the giving of the official teaching I.D and we went up stage to get it one by one. I really don’t like in going up stage because of one very assuming person who assumes that I am head over heels for him which is a big lie! He is very irritating! Even when I pass through the Hometech room, he really feels very handsome, very proud and very assuming! I really hate him! But before my nerves burst out here, let us go back to the event. I haven’t received a teaching I.D for P.E because I applied to Ms. Maquilan late. And because of such reason, I will also not receive a certificate of participation for Physical Education. But I am not after any certificates or any award, what I am up to is experience. No matter how many awards they receive, if there is no experience, all of those are nothing. All I wanted is experience in teaching and applying. Back to the event, after we are given the I.D's, we went back to our room. Because of the opening ceremony for the KYSD, the classes were shortened.

When I went home, I immediately studied my lessons to teach tomorrow. Of course I should prepare myself for tomorrow’s great obligation. I don’t want to be on shame for tomorrow and most of all, I don’t want to be laughed by my “students”. While studying, I mixed it with some actions of a teacher, like walking in the platform. Then I slept early because my schedule for teaching is in the first period. I should not be late for I am not only a teacher but also a role model to my students.

When I arrived in the school, I already get my visual aids, my copy, and of course myself ready. Before the bell rang, I only sat down on my chair and look straight to the board and felt extreme nervousness. When the bell rang I already felt calm and relax, because I felt the same way I felt during the interview. What ever would happen I would not blame myself for I have done my very best. When it was my turn to teach, I felt confident and acted like a real teacher. I discussed my lessons clearly so that my students could understand it. After discussing, I gave a short quiz about the topic just to test them if they listened and understood what I have taught and immediately checked it.

After our period, Madame Gallo told us that we have done a very good job. I told myself that I have again collected another fruit of experience from my tree of hard work.
