The PTP subject is the most important practice of the career in which each
student performs the knowledge acquired throughout the career. Each student
is assigned a specific grade with the English class which will fulfill a schedule
and curriculum of the corresponding school to which the grade belongs. During
the course of the course, the student has to carry out all the teacher's duties
(class plan, group management, appearance, etc.). In my opinion with respect
to the semester, the realization of the practices was limited by the prompt
suspension of the same, and as a consequence in my particular case, my
participation in the practices were scarce with respect to my other companions,
due to some eventuality of the school that prevented the realization of the
practice in the established schedule. On the other hand, my experience with the
practices is satisfactory in spite of the few encounters. In the class meetings I
was able to practice my knowledge about teaching English and learn the
challenges of managing a class group.

My comment to improve the PTP would be to have more information on the

internal regulations of the school that is assigned, since on many occasions
there are duties in the classroom that are outside the subject (cleaning,
ecological time, classroom president, etc.). In addition, I recommend a better
communication and programming of the eventualities of the school (parents
meeting, cleaning of pavilion, civic acts, etc.) for better control and management
of class plans.
