NEW ERA INTEGRATED SCHOOL
New Era University Schools is situated inside the compound of the Iglesia Ni Cristo in
Barangay New Era, Quezon City .The school was established through the initiative of the
Executive Minister of the Iglesia Ni Cristo. It lent to the Quezon City government a total of
8,600 square meters for school site. The primary objective of the Executive Minister of the
Iglesia Ni Cristo was to have a school that will cater to the educational demands and needs of all
school age children through these years, it became a dream for every parent from nearby
barangays to have their children enrolled in this school.
What are my expectations?
Things I want to learn during the field study?
My expectations include learning how to identify problems, manage different students,
choose strategies to address these issues, and plan and execute the tactics required to achieve
these goals. By learning this, I will gain real-world experience in what it takes to be an effective
teacher. Report to school every day for the entire school day, be punctual, participate in
classroom teacher activities and functions, and accept responsibilities delegated by the mentor
teacher. Maintain consistent attendance throughout your experience. I've realized the importance
of making mistakes. I know it sounds crazy, but I've been afraid of screwing something up. I
expected to always plan the perfect lesson, explain everything perfectly, and have everything go
as planned. And, let me be the first to point out, this is extremely unusual. I've realized how
critical it is to accept that neither we nor our cooperating teachers are perfect educators! We all
have things to learn, and my student-teaching experience taught me how to learn from my
mistakes instead of letting them consume me. What is the significance of effective
communication?
Communication is critical for workplace success. Avoiding questions when answers can be
found elsewhere is part of being a good communicator; keep in mind that everyone's time is
valuable. Effective communication is critical as an intern for productivity, efficiency,
engagement, and growth. As an intern, I discovered how important it is to be enthusiastic and
open to learning new skills, to ask for more work, and to be curious to learn and ask questions.
This attitude shows that you enjoy being a part of the team and are eager to help. Curiosity and
enthusiasm also mean that you get a lot out of what you do as an intern, which opens up a lot of
door
WEEK 1
This was the day we met our Critic Teacher, Ma’am Annaliza Baltazar. However, after a
few days, she was transferred online due to private reasons, and subsequently, Ma’am Delia
Principe became our final critic teacher. Prior to transitioning to Ma’am Delia, we were assigned
to handle seven sections: Grade 7 TLE and Grade 8 ICT under Ma’am Annaliza Baltazar. During
our time with her, we observed classes in 7th-grade TLE and 8th-grade ICT.
During that week, Ma’am Annaliza Baltazar introduced the topics of flowcharts and
algorithms for Grade 7 TLE and focused on machine language for Grade 8 ICT. These topics
were intriguing for us as it was our first exposure to them, and we gained substantial knowledge
and understanding.
Throughout the week, emphasis was placed on developing Content Knowledge and
Pedagogy aimed at fostering student-centered strategies to enhance critical and creative thinking
skills, alongside other higher-order thinking skills.During the first week while observing Grade 7
TLE and Grade 8 ICT classes, we observed that emphasizing Content Knowledge and Pedagogy
through student-centered strategies significantly enhances critical and creative thinking, as well
as other higher-order cognitive skills. This approach is essential in modern education as it equips
students to delve deeper into subjects, analyze information effectively, evaluate evidence
critically, and develop independent and thoughtful conclusions.
WEEK 2
During the second week of our in-campus
observations, our main emphasis was on Grade 7
and Grade 8 students, actively engaged in
completing Learning Guide 1 activities within
their NEUVLE accounts. This week introduced
our new Critic Teacher, Ma’am Delia Principe.
Despite the absence of a dedicated teacher for
ICT and TLE in Grades 7 and 8, Ma’am Delia
directed us to oversee the progress of these
students within their NEUVLE accounts.
Proactively, we identified and addressed students
who had not completed their activities, seeking to
redirect their focus to the pending tasks.
Throughout this week, we noticed that many
students were more engrossed in playing online
games on their computers rather than
concentrating on their assigned tasks. This
presented a challenge, as some students showed
disinterest in following our instructions.
However, we effectively managed this situation
by adapting our approach to ensure better
engagement with the students.
This week was primarily centered on the Learning Environment, specifically in managing
learner behavior. Focusing primarily on the Learning Environment, particularly in managing
learner behavior, is essential as it sets the tone for effective teaching and learning. A conducive
and well-managed environment fosters an atmosphere where students feel safe, engaged, and
motivated to learn. By addressing and managing learner behavior, educators create an
environment that encourages active participation, minimizes distractions, and promotes a sense
of responsibility among students
WEEK 3
Throughout the entire week, Ma’am Delia Principe instructed us to oversee the practical
tests of the four sections of Grade 7 students in cooking. I observed that the Grade 7 students
took great pleasure in the cooking activities and demonstrated a collaborative spirit by assisting
each other. I actively participated by aiding them in frying and cutting ingredients. They prepared
various recipes and graciously served us the dishes they had finished.
Additionally, I noticed remarkable progress and improvement among the students throughout
the week. The focus during this period was on Assessment and Reporting, particularly within the
second strand of this domain, which involves Monitoring and Evaluation of learner progress and
achievement.
By concentrating on this aspect, educators were able to systematically track and evaluate
each student's development and grasp of the concepts taught. This targeted approach not only
provided insights into individual learning trajectories but also enabled tailored guidance and
support for students where needed. It contributed immensely to the students' growth by offering a
structured framework for assessing their progress, allowing educators to adapt their teaching
strategies to suit the students' learning needs more effectively.
WEEK 4
WEEK 5
WEEK 6
This week is my preparation period for my final demo teaching. I've dedicated significant time to
crafting my lesson plans and creating instructional materials. Almost every day, I've spent nearly
10 hours meticulously working on these materials and revising my lesson plans. At times, I've
been so engrossed in preparing for my demo teaching that I've almost forgotten to have dinner
due to my busy schedule. Despite the demanding workload, I haven't complained because I'm
deeply committed to completing my final demo teaching successfully.
My cooperating teacher and I maximize our free time to finish everything as early as
possible to avoid rushing.
WEEK 7
This week was my final demo teaching, the day that every student teacher waited. Some
said that day was the day of the final verdict. That was the day that every student teacher felt
mixed emotions. There were feeling of excitement and nervousness.
My co-student teacher, Ms. Aira Mae Rapote helped and assisted me in preparing for the
final demonstration. She was the one who was busy preparing the classroom while I was busy
preparing my instructional materials. My students were also helping me. They were cleaning the
room. They arranged the chairs and wiped the tables and cabinet. I was really thankful that they
helped me. I was very happy that they supported me.
My cooperating teachers were also busy assisting me .She was very supportive regarding
my final demonstration teaching. After I had finished preparing my instructional materials, I
arranged the folders containing the evaluation sheet and copy of my lesson plan for the
observers.During my final demo in my perspective handling class, first I feel the excitement and
very much overwhelm, because I already know that I can handle a class. Of course I did prepare
for my subject matter, considering of such visual materials and other ways/techniques on
teaching. I ask for my cooperating teacher some guidelines on how did I execute the lesson, and
establish the learnings, He also taught me on how I will get easy the attention of every students
in the classroom, so she help me to find it easy. Of course I prepared for my lesson plan, and
instructional materials to use and I make sure that it is suitable to their level.
I believed that I did give all my best to succeed my final demonstration teaching. But I also
believed that these would not be a success if it were only me. I passed these challenge because of
the support my cooperating teacher. She helped me a lot in improving myself. As well as, it went
well because of the cooperation of my students. Most of all because of the Almighty God!
Throughout this week, I focused on fostering my Personal Growth and Professional
concentrating particularly on the domain of Professional Reflection and Learning to Improve
Practice. This domain typically involves self-assessment, introspection, and actively seeking
ways to enhance professional skills and approaches. It signifies a deliberate effort to engage in
reflective practices aimed at refining and advancing one's professional abilities, which is crucial
for ongoing growth and improvement in a chosen field or profession.
WEEK 8
What my Resource Teacher Taught Me
When reflecting on this semester of student teaching, there have been so many challenges,
so many celebrations, and so much that I have learned from my CT. I have been pushed beyond
my comfort zone, and I have grown as a teacher immensely. It is hard for me to only talk about a
few of the takeaways that I have gained from this semester!
First, I have learned the importance of messing up. I know, this sounds crazy, but I have
found myself so nervous about screwing something up. I expected to always plan the perfect
lesson, explain everything perfectly, and have everything go smoothly and as planned. And let
me be the first to say, this is rarely the case. I have learned how important it is to accept that we
are not perfect teachers, and neither are our cooperating teachers! We all have things to learn,
and my student teaching experience has taught me how to learn from my mistakes rather than
letting them eat away at me. I learned something from my cooperating teacher and from the
students almost every day, and being open to this and vulnerable allowed me to grow, adapt, and
think on my feet! Having these experiences is the true life of a teacher.
With being honest about my mistakes and imperfections, I was able to also form stronger
connections with the students. This is another takeaway from the semester. I have always valued
forming strong relationships with my students in order to create the best learning environment
for them, but I was able to truly see the value of this throughout the semester. Being the first
placement where I was able to be with the students every day of the week, I was able to see the
growth of my relationships with them from day to day over the course of the semester. I was
honestly intimidated working with older, gifted students coming in, but I worked hard to break
down their walls and get to know them as individuals. I have loved getting to know each of my
students likes, dislike, strengths, and weaknesses. I believe that this has helped me better teach
them and has made my classroom a happier place to learn!
Finally, I have also learned from my CT the importance of having an open mind . You
can walk into any classroom and see completely different environments, teaching styles, student
personalities, curriculum, resources, etc. It is so easy to have your own ways and your own
approaches to teaching, disregarding anything else that you encounter. I have learned that
opening up to approaches and styles that I am not particularly used to is beneficial to help me
learn more ways that I can help my students and to also learn more about what I like and dislike
as a teacher. Rarely does anyone have a perfect student teaching placement. I am fortunate to
have enjoyed mine, but I have also learned that there is value in learning about what you do not
want to do as a teacher just as much as learn what you do want to do. It is so important to
continue being open minded so that you can leave room to grow into a more effective teacher!
I have really enjoyed my student teaching experience despite all of its hardships and
challenges. I found myself in very low points but also in very high points throughout the
semester, but I can clearly see how it has all grown me as a teacher, and I feel as though I can
confidently walk into whatever classroom I will be teaching in next year. I cannot believe that
the time has come for my own classroom; I can hardly wait!
ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
During my internship, I faced various challenges, primarily grappling with daily traffic
that often caused me to arrive late. Fortunately, my Cooperating Teacher was understanding of
this issue. Moreover, the demanding schedule left me feeling fatigued at times, especially since I
had to attend some subjects for additional classes since I am an irregular student.
Internships present a wide array of challenges, including adapting to diverse work cultures
and meeting specific goals. Some interns may feel apprehensive in unfamiliar environments,
leading to difficulties in sustaining their placements. Additionally, it can take time to adjust and
perform optimally in the initial days.
The duration of an internship is limited by curriculum requirements, making it challenging
to achieve all learning outcomes and proficiency within that timeframe. Factors such as slow
learning, prior knowledge gaps, psychological barriers, limited teaching experience from
supervisors, exhaustion from main responsibilities, and motivation issues can hinder progress.
Moreover, issues within the educational institution, like unclear learning objectives or
insufficient collaboration with internship providers, further complicate the learning process. An
overload of students can strain internship sites, diminish motivation, exhaust supervisors, and
sometimes necessitate choosing less-than-ideal companies for completing the internship,
ultimately impacting the quality of practical study.
Overall, these challenges highlight the complexities inherent in internship programs and
the various factors that can affect a student's experience and learning outcomes.
PREPARING AND DOING MY DEMONSTRATION TEACHING
Doing teaching demo is a one shot activity that will reflect all your knowledge and skills in
your professional education subjects. It is a very important experience that one must have to
develop your actual teaching skills. Added upon the subject, we must display our ability to use
technology-enhanced instructional materials which has to be the best for the topic. To sum it up,
it is a very challenging activity yet very helpful for us future teachers.
I used an improvised tele chart and a chart made of cartons as my instructional material.
Tele chart is one of the interactive equipment that can be used in education. It is a improvised
telecommunication medium that is used for transmitting and receiving moving images. Although
I encounter problems during my demo because I forgot to use a powerpoint presentation,I still
choose to finish my demo teaching successfully. While creating my teaching demo instructional
material I was reminded of what it is like to be a
student. I needed the discipline of time and focus
to make the demo possible and a success. I
wanted the presentation to go well, but more
importantly I wanted to connect with each writer in my
audience and feel that I gave them a sound teaching
strategy to take back with them to use in their
classroom.
My Teaching Philosophy
Teaching is an art of empowerment, an endeavor that extends beyond imparting
knowledge; it's about fostering curiosity, critical thinking, and growth. As an educator, I believe
in cultivating an inclusive environment that nurtures diverse perspectives and encourages active
engagement. I strive to inspire my students not just to memorize facts but to question, explore,
and construct their understanding of the world. My philosophy of teaching revolves around the
belief that education is a collaborative journey where both the teacher and the learner evolve,
learn from each other, and contribute to shaping a brighter future.
Central to my philosophy of teaching is the idea that education goes beyond the classroom. I
aim to instill a lifelong passion for learning by connecting academic concepts to real-world
applications. By incorporating practical experiences, interdisciplinary approaches, and relevant
examples, I aspire to equip my students with the tools they need to navigate complexities and
solve problems creatively. I advocate for an
education that doesn't merely prepare individuals
for a career but empowers them to become
adaptable, empathetic, and responsible global
citizens.
Fundamental to my teaching philosophy is the recognition that every student possesses
unique strengths, challenges, and learning styles. I embrace diversity in the classroom and tailor
my teaching methods to accommodate various needs, ensuring an inclusive and supportive
environment. By fostering a culture of respect, open communication, and encouragement, I aim
to create a space where students feel valued, motivated, and empowered to achieve their full
potential. In essence, my philosophy of teaching revolves around inspiring a love for learning,
nurturing critical thinking, and empowering individuals to become lifelong learners capable of
positively impacting the world.
My Learnings in My Field Study Courses
My time observing was not only educational for me on how to become the teacher I desire
to be, but as well as how to better myself as a student and improve my own learning. Field Study
1 and 2 was indeed a great way to start my field study journey! It helped me understand how
learners vary with their characteristics, behaviors, needs and development. It also gave me the
idea how the learning environment affects the student’s learning. During my fieldwork, I
observed many ways the teacher adjusted her lessons to accommodate different learning styles
for her students to enhance their learning. This made me think of my own cognitive learning
style and how I learned and processed information. I found that when you’re a teacher, your
education never stops. Teachers are always trying to improve their own education and
professional growth, both for the benefit of their students and for the benefit of themselves.
Some ways I plan to accommodate student diversity in my teaching is to maintain a diverse
learning environment for my students. I understand that not all students learn the same so I plan
to use differentiated instruction. In just three months of being a pre-service teacher, I’ve done a
lot of things already. I was able to observe the actual teaching-learning process in the classroom,
I have witnessed student diversity and how the teacher dealt with it, and I have built good
relationships with the students. As a whole, I learned that the teacher is the one who’s
responsible in developing every learner and setting the best learning environment for them. I
observed some wonderful learning tools that I have since implemented into my own education to
develop my own learning. One-way my time spent during my fieldwork has improved my own
learning is how I manage the way I learn.
