ANALYSIS

In what area of classroom management was the teacher most effective? Which of the
supportive measures were effective? Why?

All of the supportive measures observed were effective except for some issues with discipline
which in my opinion are just naturally given that the observed students were just minors.

In what area of classroom management was the teacher least effective? Which supportive
measures were not effective? Why?

It cannot be said that the teacher is less effective when it comes to discipline, there may be some
issues with it but it should be considered that the students are minors and are prone to
disciplinary issues.

Suggest more effective ways for your answer in number 2.

 I think it is normal that you can’t follow all the guidelines in classroom management when
it comes to the actualization of the activity.

Sometimes teachers have to give a lot of time to emphasize the topic to the pupils.

REFLECTIONS

Describe at least 3-5 characteristics of a teacher who can establish a well-managed

classroom.

The teacher should be organized, strict but fair and dedicated to the teaching profession to be
able to establish a well-managed classroom.

What characteristics do you have at present that can make you an effective classroom
manager? Elaborate how these characteristics can help you.

At present I can claim that my characteristics are being organized and fair. By being organized I
can easily assign tasks to myself and my would be pupils. Fairness is a trait that a teacher should
always have, for without it no pupils will respect him even if they fear him.

What characteristics do you have at present that can hamper you from becoming an
effective classroom manager? How can you overcome these characteristics?

Focus is the main characteristic that this writer lacks at the moment. But with due time and given
more responsibilities he believes that he will overcome it.
EPISODE 3: THE TEACHER AND THE COMMUNITY

COMMUNITY TOUR OBSERVATION REPORT

Name of FS Student: cherry enero

Course: Diploma in Teaching Secondary Year and Section: 1st year
Resource Teacher: Signature:
School: Linao National High School

Target:
At the end of this episode, we will gain competence in identifying possible linkages between
the school and the communities, particularly those that will help attain curricular goals.

School Observed: Linao National High School

School Address: Linao Ormoc City

Date of Visit: Jan, 2017

Locality of the School

The school is located at Linao ,Ormoc ,City,Leyte, it is along the highway, besides Linao.
Elementary School.,Its neighbouring community composes of residential houses and school
and one big construction firm.

Issues/Concerns/Problems of the Community

One of the main concerns of the community is the improper waste disposal and segregation
which could be threatening to the health of the people. According to the barangay kagawad
assigned to the Environmental Concerns and Solid Waste Management, that “there are tricycle
drivers who throw their garbage everywhere they wanted to. So far there are no reported cases
in relation to peace and order, children and youth concerns, political issues and assigned
personnel (Brgy. Kagawad) in each areas to maintain its proper function. Peace and order
is maintained by the different scheduled barangay tanods in each day and celebration of fiesta
is minimized to avoid the cause of crimes and murderous acts.

Community Resources

The community resources that can be found in the locality are:

Library Hub – can be used for research purposes and other referential tasks.
City Health Office – provide relevant seminars for awareness regarding health issues,
and promoting health campaigns to equip the people in the community with
sufficient knowledge in self-awareness.
\Parks (e.g. Lady Circle, Sagay City Plaza) – may aid in presenting the lesson
through community field trips.
City Gym – can be utilized as venue during the upholding of the school’s activities such
as Intramurals, JS Prom, Graduation, etc.
Police station 3

Community Assistance/ Service Given by the School

The school provides assistance to the community through the participation in

different activities namely: tree planting, feeding program, coastal clean-up, mangrove
planting/reforestation, and fiesta celebrations. In addition, the
school advocates on programs like Anti-Illegal drug campaign, feeding program, gift-giving
program especially during Christmas, parenting and child abuse campaign andClean &
Green Activities.
The school teachers serve as resource person especially in the neighboring areas like the
Police station wherein training of prisoners with welding skills are conducted. They also
contribute in
doing research studies by acting as advisers/mentors & transfer technology/livelihood skills
(e.g cookery) to the people in the community.
During town celebrations, the school band leads the parade, join the street dancing,
volunteer group maintain the cleanliness during the celebration & school offers
entertainment and artistic activities such as body painting, booth display and visual arts.

ANALYSIS

Suggest new ways by which the school can creatively use resources of the community.

If there are vacant lots near the school they can ask the owner to let the school make a
flower/vegetable garden in it. In that way the community benefits from whatever produce the
garden can make and also keep the place clean.

How can the school address the issues/concerns and problems of the community?

The school can be an important help to any problem the community is facing thru information
drive. They can also coordinate with the present community officers and ask them in what way
they can be of help.

What possible linkages can the community and the school have?
the resources available in the community can be used as educational resources; the school’s
counterpart during fiestas & other activities in the community, e.g. the school band leads the
parade & joining the street dance; and other activities wherein each one mutually give their
counterpart towards a harmonious community.

REFLECTIONS

How did you feel while you were going around the community? What things did you learn
that you might have taken for granted before?

I have learned that the community and the school are inter-related because whenever there is an
activity in the community the school always participates in those activities such as tree planting,
clean-up drive, beautification projects, etc. Same also for the school, whenever they need some
helping hand in the form of money or labor the community tries its best to help.

As a future teacher, what do you think will be your role in the community?

As a future teacher, I will serve the community by being a good example to them. Teach my
students the proper values and how to help the community in their own little way.

How will you encourage more community participation among teachers and students?

By volunteering everytime the community is doing a worthwhile project such as tree

planting, clean-up drive, beautification projects, etc.

CLIP ART ESSAY

Title: The future Global Teacher

Message: With the rapid growth of information technology, personal computers, netbooks,
tablets and other personal devices will greatly aid the teachers of the future. By being able to
store large amounts of data some of these devices take the equivalent of 20 textbooks or more.
The future classrooms will be equipped with LED screens to better display the lessons and as it
is also touch screen capable, so interacting with the lesson is more enjoyable for the teacher and
the students.

Reflection: With the undeniable influence of technology in future education especially in more
advanced countries, a teacher who wants to teach in a country that uses these technologies in
their educational system should at the earliest possible time learn how to use these gadgets.
