Why did you choose teaching?

Who are some of the people who affect your decision of becoming a teacher?

How did they affect your decision?

Who was your favorite teacher and why?

Who are the teacher you least like?

What are the roles of a teacher?

        With my interview with the five teachers in St. Paul University I found out that they share different reasons and passion of becoming one; and of course they have been influenced by the society, successful and goal oriented people.

According to Mrs. Mariles Aquino a faculty member of the School of Arts and Sciences; she have chosen teaching because its innate in her to talk as she talks she’s able to share her knowledge to others, and teaching for her is a passion. “You cannot just say- I will teach, rather as you go along you’ll find out that this profession entitles you to love, to have patience and to care.  You’ll soon become a teacher and its in you to find out why am I telling al this things”

Dr. Wilma Lagitao shares almost the same thing she loves teaching and it’s a great passion for her to do so, it’s also a way for her to have an access to share God’s Love. Ms. Kristne Romero a faculty from the School of Accountancy and Business; said that she had chosen teaching because she wants to grow professionally; it helps her develop her skills in communicating and developed her personality at the same time. Ms. Glyvee Gay Panganinban, RND. Also a faculty from The School of Accountancy and Business said that she have chosen this profession because she felt the divine call for her to do so, she added that she loves teaching and why is she in this struggles because she wants to affect lives. Their answers may somehow affect our perception of the profession we call “teaching” but neither it gave us a wider and ultimate understanding of how is to teach as they said it’s a passion.

Sometime in our lives we find people who in a way or two affects our decisions and eventually turn our world upside down; some polish us and makes us a better person  but sometimes there are people who totally change us from the field of misery to the world of paradise like happiness to success . These people no matter how short is their existence in our lives remain to live and grow in our hearts through the pieces of advice and mother like ways of dealing with us, their voices echo in our entirety, someone who helps us shape ourselves and their memories remain as we live. Some of the influential people Mrs. Aquino shared is  Dr. Concepcion Doyugan; who she felt has a great belief on her ability. Second her husband; who pushes her to do intellectual things. Third is her sister who is also a faculty from SAS, who supports her in all aspects. Dr. Lagitao faithfully said that it was her mother who had been a teacher in a Sunday class, her brother who is a teacher by profession and her Filipino teacher when she was in Elementary. Ms. Romero was also influenced by the different people Dr. Pamittan is one, her Co- Teachers and The students. “ their willingness to impart and handling the Job, their effort on creating a good working atmosphere and their ways of mentoring people”. While according to Ms. Panganiban it was her mother as she is a teacher by profession too, the SPC sisters who inspired her, and most of all JESUS; she believes HE is a great teacher. “ I just felt the calling” she shared.

As we Enter a particular School or University we find another environment to feed our selves, we find new delicacies of people some may be salty, others are spicy while many are sweet it’s in us how are we going to approach and deal with them. As we separate or depart from these people we’ll find ourselves living the same ways we did as we are in their care. The most influential person in these days is our teacher, we find her the best person because she knows a lot, she was respected by others and she remains to be a hero; someone who will protect us no matter. We find ourselves crying in her lap as we’ve been hurt. And as we arrive home our parents notices that what we learned from her are the same things we are applying at home- funny right but it is true.

Mrs. Aquino said that it was Dr. Concepcion Doyugan because she continuously supports he, she taught her to teach with a smile, give patience to studentry of SPUP. And all because she was her mentor; someone who listens with all her ups and downs.  Dr. Laguitao humbly answered it was her mother because she had been a model for her. Ms. Romero proudly answered that it was Dr. Mercedita Pamittan because she had been a mother to her whose support and understanding gave her a hint to continue and serves as challenge for her to continue. “What and who I am today were all because of her” she added. While Ms. Panganiban loyally answered that it was the SPC sisters because they had been her teachers before.  “They teach patiently and more on values”.

       

        Teachers are mostly loved by their students, why? Ask yourselves. The answer would be in the deepest recess of your memory that you would never want to lose, that for sure you would even want to share to your future grandchildren. Teachers are loved and remembered simply because eighty percent of our daily lives had been with them especially in our Elementary and Secondary years. Somehow we better able to share our feelings, pains, and “Kilig moments” with them because we feel at ease telling them everything knowing they wouldn’t get angry at the end instead gives us pieces of advice and tolerating our feelings in the mode we most wanted. On the other way there are times we can’t forget teachers who had mark a negative things in us. The first teacher who cause tears flow, and the teacher who had put us into shame. In anyway the teacher’s intention must have been good, but since we had taken it negatively anger and dismay grew in our hearts. Mrs. Aquino said she doesn’t like teachers who are lazy and teachers who treat students inhumanely. Dr. Laguitao specified her grade three teacher who’s a paulinian herself who also became very strict that she doesn’t treat everyone fairly. “She punishes the whole class by whipping us” she said remembering the moments she spent with that teacher. Ms. Panganiban bitterly answered that she really doesn’t want teachers who are lazy justifying her answer she said “I can’t see any effort with these types of people, unapproachable, brutal, and putting students in shame during classes. She also doesn’t want authoritative teachers who believe they know everything.

        Going out of your classrooms we are expected to perform what we learned. We, at the same time given the chance to see the roles of our teacher in our lives. Mrs. Aquino said that “a teacher is also a mother, a friend, a role model in which at the end of the session the students learned and able to apply it in what we call LIFE.”

Dr. Laguitao answered that a teacher is a role model of GOD’s Love, one who is with high in righteousness and who have all the traits at the book of Galatians 5:19-12.

While Ms. Romero said a teacher is an Educator, a mentor, a shepherd, and a secondary parents. And last but not the least Ms. Panganiban answered a teacher is someone who teaches, guides, supports, learns and listens to the students and the needy.

Our experiences in life especially in school greatly affects our perceptions, we find good and not so good teachers, we were better able to distinguished terror and humble teachers, some could either be found as approachable and many are not. With all this experiences we sometime find ourselves bulliying this types of teachers we tend to name them according to how we see them, somehow because we hate them. All this things contribute to our satisfaction

Teaching Reflections "Who is a Teacher?"

Reflection:

Who is the teacher?

        If you are going to ask me, who is the teacher I idolized most, what are the characteristics? I would certainly answer you that I like teachers who have passion for the profession. Someone who works not only for the benefits she may get from the job but of course the knowledge she may share as a teacher.

        If I will be a teacher someday, I would follow all the teachings and pieces of advice my teachers have give.

I’ve succeed from the previous ways of my teachers how they passionately teach, how they give their time, how they sacrifice for the benefit of their students because they do believe that these students are the hopes of the humanity and the world.

Like Mrs. Mariles Aquino, I saw her passion on the teaching profession. I saw how she manage to prepare the lesson to make her students better understand. She is one of the teacher I idolized in fact, she is one teacher I would not hesitate to share problems with and for this reason I do believe that she can live the life of a real teacher.

What are the things she does?

        Mrs. Mariles Aquino, a speech teacher. She actually gives time to her students to ponder on the lesson and she gives time for clarifications. Actually, she has a wide room for comments and suggestions from students. In short she levels herself to the students.

        She photocopies materials that are helpful to her students. She manages to stay glamorous despite the so many works she have.

What are things a teacher must possess?

       

A teacher for me a teacher should be a qualified teacher. Meaning she must be a passer of a qualifying exam, anybody can be a teacher, anyone in fact can teach but the problem arouse when the teacher is not professionally prepared.

A teacher must have passion for the profession, also for the students. A qualified teacher in a way is useless if she does not have love for teaching and love for her students. So for me the love for the job and the people you serves is second to the most important.

A teacher must be kind, understanding and work oriented. These qualities are very much important this is so because the relationship between teacher and the students must be develop along the way.

How can I become one?

        This is one question that entails promises and hopes for the future, however, I am in this endeavour because I love to teach. I wanted to become a teacher so I may legally impart my knowledge to the young and earn their thrust and respect later.

        To become a teacher in name is much easier than becoming a teacher with pledge. Why because a teacher by name can be gain throughout time, it is definite and for sacrifices you’ll be able to top it. While a teacher with oath will be best work for a lifetime and most of the times even after you die that’s the time people will realized the things you did for them.

Self Assessment in Teaching

Name: RVQ

Date and time: October 31, 2008

Assess yourself in terms of:

·         Personality of teaching

·         Strategies used by teachers

o   Relationship with students

o   Relationship with superiors

o   Others in the community

·         Skills in making lesson plans

·         Questioning techniques

As a Bachelor of Arts in Language and Literature 4^th year major student, I was exposed to several practices which include making of lesson plans, Demo teachings and classroom observations in and outside of the University.

In this manner there are problems and difficulties encountered along the way, a greater patience I discovered in myself. I can therefore understand because I usually look on the positive side rather in the negative aspects of the matter.

I believe that this attitude towards teaching is very useful to be able to go with the students. Strategies are also as important as how the deliver his/her lessons, I the students find the teacher’s strategies working the goal for learning is successful.

The teacher’s relationship with the students would somehow indicate the firmness of their trust to the teacher who delivers the lesson. If the students find the teacher approachable enough and friendly, the tendency would be a freer communications for clarifications, questions and             .

This would eventually help students understand the lesson, I find myself friendly and approachable too with my students so I believe that I can handle classes like this later on. Superiors in any institution especially in an academic institutions demand respect from the inferiors like teachers and students especially. This is so because respect is one great thing they teach with students and to be able to do this they must have to show it themselves.

Showing of respect even to the least, to the poorest and to the youngest is one indication of how others would respect you as an Educator. Every teacher is entitled to prepare many lessons plans as she/he is required to compel with the need of her/his students. The efficiency of a teacher to do this is very essential because almost every night a teacher just like the students should be must make lesson plans to prepare for the next day activities. This is not an easy task though but once you love doing and you give yourself to the needs of yoyr students then you’ll find it an enjoyable thing to do.

        Making lesson plans for me is now an easy thing to do, as a teacher I need to know the lessons my students should have everyday. I have to plan them carefully so that at the end of that particular lesson there must be the learning. I can say that I am efficient in doing lesson plans because I experience preparing for it in just a whole night and even for just a couple of hours.

        Questioning techniques of teachers are truly essential in all classrooms that learning is taking place. This is because this would help teachers find their students in a genuine and spoken way. The teacher would therefore be able to assess his/her students, what they need and how far they have gone through the lesson discussed.

Learning Feedback

        Discuss what major learning you have gotten from the class?

The whole semester is in fact too short to learn everything about the craft of teaching.  Why because this profession demands a number of observation, a wide reading, a many interactions with the students and one of the greatest reasons is that teaching is lifetime learning. Everyday there are many things to learn, and the whole day is quite not enough to learn everything that day teaches.        Luckily, as an ABLL4 student I was given the chance to learn something out of the so many. These major learning are the basic, the very foundation about teaching and because of this I believe that I’ll be able                

Communication skills of a teacher

October 10, 2008

Name of the observer: RVQ

Date and time of observation: October 2-7, 2008.

Length of observation: one hour and thirty minutes

Person and event observed: ________________

Level and subject: 1^st year AHSE

Characteristics to observe: Communication skills, Questioning techniques, Classroom management, Classroom discipline and strategies.

Communication skill of a teacher is one of the important factors to consider. A teacher must have good communication ability; s/he should therefore remember that speech is an essential part of daily life. Second, the teacher must remember that speech is the process of communicating meaning from one person to another. Third, a teacher must not fail to realize that anyone of the students can become an effective communicator; communication can be in a written or oral form. According to Mrs. Mariles Aquino, she prefers the oral form as she is a speech teacher, she believes in the importance of the above mentioned qualities, in regard she never fails to consider and apply the following on her real classroom teaching. She also admitted that it is her passion to talk; she believes that in this way she can better affect the lives of her students. The observer however, agrees in it since it was sinned during the observation period. She interacts with her students clearly, she gets nearer to her students whenever she can not hear what they are saying in the same way she do this whenever the students can not hear her or she mange to repeat it all over. With her questioning techniques, is awesome because patience in her teachings is visible whenever the students fail to give her the exact o concrete definition she tries to ask another student and she does not forget to give compliments to her students by simply saying “thank you”. Classroom management is as important as disciplining the students, in addition it also entails the over all management of the classroom before the class starts she usually ask the students to pick up pieces of papers, wrappers that has been scattered on the floor, she ask to arrange the chairs properly and she proceeds immediately with the daily routines of praying afterwards she go on with the lesson proper. The direct instruction strategy is mostly observed since it was the teacher who usually provides for her students. Independent type of study is also applied since the teacher manages to give each student their individual assignments and in the ending part of the semester she gave them group activity that will include each member to participate in a one-act play. They are also tasked to make an output to showcase the playa, a portfolio or a simple album.

My Teaching Philosophy

My TEACHING Philosophy

My philosophy of teaching covers five articles with ten sections. Each article serves as an umbrella term for the whole principle. Each article has underlying sections which specifically states the following things about the article and gives primary and accurate reasons and explanations in support of the said article. Article one, states that: The teacher as the role model to her students. Section 0ne: The teacher should teach my students only the best. The teacher as the sole producer of knowledge should act as an editor at the same time. The teacher should carefully process the things that comes in and out of the classroom in this regard, students are believe to be intelligent in their own ways that’s why the teacher should respect this but should be able to detect the mistake in each student and immediately correct whenever possible. Section two states that the teacher should teach the students only the proper. Therefore the teacher is capable of eliminating the mistake and should give the correct. Section three states that the teacher should behave, act and decide properly, according to this article the teacher’s title should be matured enough to handle small and big problems encountered inside the classrooms. The teacher should not cry over little matters instead should be the one to settle conflicts and misunderstanding between the students. Article two states that: The teacher as the explainer of the lesson. The teacher should be a capable one who can teach the lesson with easiness. Therefore the section one of this article states that, the teacher should be a license teacher, someone who is qualified enough to teach and handle students. Article three suggests that a teacher should involve herself with her students in their lessons. Section one of these articles says that the teacher should mingle with her students in this way the teacher will get nearer with her students. Section two of this article suggests that a teacher should be approachable enough so that learning will flow smoothly. Article four says that a teacher should be an enabler, someone who’s capable enough of moulding and shaping her students. Section two states that a teacher should be able to control tha students and the whole classroom. Article five suggests that a teacher should be a qualified manager, section one of this section says that a teacher should be able to manage her class. Section two states that a teacher as a manager should be someone who manages not only the intellectual skills of students but someone capable of managing the atmosphere inside and outside of the school.

As a teacher I have the power to control the future in a manner most basic but difficult. The students, the young generations as the hopes of our world, as a teacher I have the capability and I am someone who is authorized to teach them therefore in my hands lie the freedom and the wonderful future of the next generation.

Teacher Riza

Teaching is a part of every individual’s life

                  Teaching is a part of every individual’s life; we cannot erase the fact that every one is a teacher. We may be aware or not we are teachers in our own definite ways, in our own beliefs and the way we conceived it. Teachers play a very essential part on the growth and the whole being of every individual. We most of the time dismiss the idea of teaching because of our beliefs affected by the people, environment and the whole society which we belong. Every individual has his own dreams of uplifting the kind of living he has, and I am one of those I also believe that the teaching profession will never get me into that dream. Hence, there are things in our lives that we cannot but to experience all the disasters a human person who tries to continue struggling would sometime find himself out. It’s like as if journeying in a path so clear eloped with you are your armors, you have your faith, courage, strength, water and all the basic needs for you to survive and later on when you are already at the middle part you’ll find yourself,  in the desert very thirsty, discourage and faithless because your’re tired, and it seems like it is a never ending journey. Teaching now would mean sacrifice for others, burdens for most and yet passion for some who find themselves loving. Remembering now Jesus Christ as a teacher because HE LOVES US!

o   Why did I choose teaching?

o   How preferred am I to begin my student teaching?

o   What is missing, and how can I integrate it into my student teaching?

o   What will be expected of me for successful meaning of the practicum?

o   What are my goals and expectations for student teaching?

I did not actually choose teaching though in my daily life I use to teach. I teach my sister, my nephews, nieces and other kids who used to go to our home whenever I am there. This has been my role for them, and I feel encouragement, perseverance whenever I see them smile and say. Thank you Ate’. I remember my sister who used to text and ask me about her assignments especially in her English subjects. It is all because she believes that I can help her and I can’t deny her whenever she asks for help.  She often says: “You know I’ve got a perfect score in our assignments, ang galing2x mo talaga._____ parang ako!”. Those people who used to ask help from me made me realized that teachers are very important. We may most of the time ignore them because our focus had been in the different and popular aspects of life and w e forget that there are more on what it seems to have. Moreover, there are times we think we are driving our way to our own dream but suddenly we need to stop and have a break, fill our tank again, with courage, perseverance, fill in our minds the virtue of being patient and positive most specially bear in mind that God will never leave us, that He has His own powerful way of waking and instructing us in the right way. Sometimes, all the postponement in our lives are faithfully made to let us see the world in a wider perspective, that there are more to want much better of what we had wanted before. This remind us that happiness is not only a matter of making good things for yourself rather happiness is making others remember you with the goodness you have showed to them. I had experienced so many break ups in my life; I even went into so many struggles for the belief that what I had started is what I should be working on even though the world will go against me. Now I knew that those impediments I had are the glorious ways of God to show me more of what I had seen before, just as Paulo Coelho said in his book “the alchemist” –“when we survive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.” I’m growing with all those, I continue to gain knowledge, understanding, patience, courage and confidence that I could conquer and win through the faith I have for Him and to all my mentors who continuously support me and believe in what I can do. I can say that I am now on the final ladder of learning the basic of the teaching profession I’ve learned to love and care about. I’m ready to start another level in order to upgrade myself and again do it with all of my heart,  

                 With all the theories, the methodologists, and strategies I can say that I am a competent student teacher, and I will not make any thing that will put my department and teachers into shame. What I want to learn more is to how can I improve the proper way of acting like a real teacher like the way my mentors act. Though I believe that I can learn as I am exposed to it, I actually observe how my teachers act, their pronunciation of every word, the way they communicate and even their very ways of teaching. I want to rebuild myself according to the Paulinian values the institution continually teaches. However, as a fourth year college student I am expected to perform my duty as practice teacher in the University or other Universities or colleges in the region. As a practice teacher I am expected to behave like a real Paulinian teacher, to carry the name of the University with grace, with pride, decency, integrity and with whole humility. Practicum would also mean the application of what has been learned in the classroom so therefore, I am expected to teach facts, to integrate learning in and outside the University campus, respect the students and the authorities. I am also expected to prepare the lesson very well in order to facilitate the learning environment of the classroom. One thing more is to incorporate values that may affect the students’ perception towards a meaningful life. I agree to what Dr. Concepcion Doyugan said: that in the first year of teaching everything will turn out very difficult, but she said that once you get into it you’ll find yourself enjoying the burdens, pains and glory of being a teacher. I also believe that teaching other students is a big opportunity I would never want to lose because I know from then that I love where and what I am doing at the present. I ‘am excited to teach, to do classroom demonstrations and other activities that may help me enhance the ability I just discovered recently. I am also excited that I’ll be talking into a crowd of students waiting to whatever I say, digesting the information I am giving. These are only some of the few beauties from this profession and this is one of the greatest I would like to do. Finally, I am hoping that soon I’ll be wearing my teacher’s uniform, walking in the corridor of the FLC with smile and excitement on face because that is the first day of my teaching career. Im praying for the realization of such, soon.

TEACHERS’ Interview

Here are the few of the questions the interviewee asked from the subject.

Why did you choose teaching?

Who are some of the people who affect your decision of becoming a teacher?

How did they affect your decision?

Who was your favorite teacher and why?

Who are the teacher you least like?

What are the roles of a teacher?

        With my interview with the four teachers in St. Paul University I found out that they share different reasons and passion of becoming one; and of course they have been influenced by the society, successful and goal oriented people. According to Mrs. Mariles Aquino a faculty member of the School of Arts and Sciences, she has chosen teaching because its innate in her to talk. As she talks, she’s able to share her knowledge to others, and teaching for her is a passion. “You cannot just say- I will teach, rather as you go along you’ll find out that this profession entitles you to love, to have patience and to care.  You’ll soon become a teacher and it’s in you to find out why am I telling all these things”

Dr. Wilma Lagitao shares almost the same thing that she loves teaching and it’s a great passion for her to do so. It’s also a way for her to have an access to share God’s Love. Ms. Kristine Romero, a faculty from the School of Accountancy and Business; said that she had chosen teaching because

 She wants to grow professionally. It helps her develop her skills in communicating and develope her personality at the same time. Ms. Glyvee Gay Panganinban, RND,. Also a faculty from the School of Accountancy and Business said that she has chosen this profession because she felt the divine call for her to do so. She added that she loves teaching and why she is in these struggles is because she wants to affect lives. Their answers may somehow affect our perception of the profession we call “teaching” but neither gave us a wider and ultimate understanding of how is to teach as they said it’s a passion.

        Sometime in our lives we find people who in a way or two affect our decisions and eventually turn our world upside down. Some polish us and make us a better person  but sometimes there are people who totally change us from the field of miser ability to the paradise like happiness to success . These people no matter how short is their existence in our lives remain to live and grow in our hearts through the pieces of advice and motherly like ways of dealing with us. Their voices echo in our entirety. They are  someone who helps us shape ourselves and their memories remain as we live. Some of the influential people that Mrs. Aquino shared are Dr. Concepcion Doyugan; whom she felt has a great belief on her ability. Second her husband; who pushes her to do intellectual things; third is her sister who is also a faculty from SAS, who supports her in all aspects. Dr. Lagitao faithfully said that it was her mother who had been a teacher in a Sunday class, her brother who is a teacher by profession and her Filipino teacher when she was in Elementary.

While according to Ms. Panganiban it was her mother as she is a teacher by profession too, the SPC sisters who inspired her, and most of all JESUS; she believes HE is a great teacher. “I just felt the calling” she shared.

As we enter a particular School or University we find another environment to feed our selves, we find new delicacies of people some may be salty, others are spicy while many are sweet it’s in us how we are going to approach and deal with them. As we separate or depart from these people we’ll find ourselves living the same ways we did as we were in their care. The most influential person in these days is our teacher. We find her the best person because she knows a lot. She is respected by others and she remains to be a hero; someone who will protect us no matter.

        Teachers are mostly loved by their students, why? Ask yourselves. The answer would be in the deepest recesses of your memory that you would never want to lose, that for sure you would even want to share to your future grandchildren. Teachers are loved and remembered simply because eighty percent of their daily lives had been with their teachers especially in Elemementary and Secondary years.
