REFLECTION

This book entitled MY PRACTICE TEACHING JOURNEY: An Experiential Task

Learning Program Handbook and Portfolio, that guide and give me understanding on how to
be effective and better teacher is really commendable in terms of experiential tasks and activities.
Through this handbook, it let me realized that being a teacher is the noblest and precious job
among all professions. It not just a handbook, but it also serves as a passport in achieving your
desire goals as aspiring teacher. When I was in my On the Job Training, in the first place, I felt
that teaching is very hard and tough. There is a time that I was struggling in preparing my stuff
because I was grasping on the environment where I working.
Through the assistance and guidance of my CT, eventually I able to manage my time, my
lesson plan and everything stuff that I used in teaching. I can also manage and handle student’s
behavior and implement good classroom management. There is a time that I want to give up
because of the pressure and stress that I always felt during my OJT. Every day I felt exhausted
and drained, wanted to take a rest but I can’t because for me time if precious. I don’t want to
waste my time in useless things. I want to finish my school works as soon as possible.
As the time goes by, the negative emotions and feelings has gone without my knowing. I
found myself enjoying teaching with the students. My CT always motivate me to enjoy my job.
She never let me down in all the times. Even my schedule is tough, I can able to manage it
because the pressure and stress that I felt, gives me and strengthen me to stand and work
independently. Though the help of my CT, and also the pressure and stress, I found out that I can
stand on my own and act like a real teacher.
Through this experience, I made one of the fulfilling job, and that is teaching. I realized
that teacher is the building block of society wherein they build and create a better future for
everyone. The true happiness of the teacher is not only the salary or benefits they received but
also the success and improvement of every person who is being taught by him. As I ended my
journey in my practice teaching, I would say that the world is lifeless without teachers because
not all people can stand on their own feet, learn by their own understanding and most especially
can be a real one.
 NARRATIVE REPORT
MARCO GUNAY-HUELBA

On the 3rd day of February 2020, me and my classmates were deployed by our OJT
Coordinator, Asst. Prof. Noraida P. Ramos at our Cooperating School; JLMNHS. We are
seven student teacher deployed at that school; two English major including me and three
Biological Science major. When we got dropped by our Professor in that school, I felt
nervous and tense because I have no idea to place where I going to work on. I met some
faculty staff there and they are all generous and kind to us. After the short orientation and
agreement, we depart our ways to meet and greet our Cooperating Teachers. When I met
my CT, at first, my feeling got much tense and nervous because I have no idea about her.
But then, when she talked to me my feeling lightens up and she seems approachable and
funny. My CT’s name is Mylene Sauna, Master Teacher of JLMNHS. The first thing that
I notice to her is funny and smart. I can say that I was lucky to have that kind of CT
because she is very accommodating and approachable.
When the first day of my OJT, my CT showed me how she taught the students,
how to initiate classroom interaction and many more transitions that teachers do. When
she finished her lesson, she told me that I going to start my job next day. I was surprised
because I’m not ready yet. Then, she introduced me to her students at the different
classroom. At the next day, I was really trembled and tensed because that is my first time
to face the real students, but before I walk inside the classroom, I took a deep breath and
fix myself. After an hour of teaching, I felt tired and stressed because that is my first
teaching experience. Every day, before I proceed to my class, I always showed my plan
to my CT to check by her if there is need to be edit or modify and every time in my class,
she always with me to observe and see my actions inside the classroom.
As the time goes by, my CT were no longer with me every time I going to class
because she wanted me to stand on my own and to be independent inside the class. But
then, she always asked my lesson plan and suggest some helpful tips to improve my
teaching. My schedule was very tight during that days and my handled sections is five.
Monday to Tuesday, my only class in three, but when in Wednesday to Friday, my class
were fully loaded. I was very tired those days because not only the tight schedule but also
it continuous work inside the campus. Even though it’s hard for me, I felt the
heartwarming greetings and support of my students which gives me comfort and ease that
took away stress and pressure.
