STUDENT-TEACHER’S SELF-ASSESSMENT
Performance Assessment—Student Initiated

GRADE LEVEL(S) Teaching: Grade-3

Student teacher: Muetoosay Arlaiphukhao School: Ekamai International School

Mentor teacher(s): Daisy Jane Varron University Supervisor: Naltan Lampadan

Instructions: A common student-teaching concern is that the student is often not fully informed of his/her
strengths and weakness during the student-teaching experience. It is suggested that the student teacher ask
these questions of the mentor teacher and/or the supervisor in a conference session. Specific instances and
observations will assist in making this evaluation more helpful.

1. What strong points characterize my teaching?

- After I taught each subject, I always ask oral feedback from my subject teachers
before they gave back my evaluation form that I submitted to them. Sometimes, I
couldn’t see what my strong point in my teaching unless I asked who observed me.
So I tried to ask my subject teachers what I need to improve and asked suggestions
from them. And they said, I could teach the lesson well which make students easy to
understand and I can communicate with students well. I have clear voice which help
students to hear my voice and understand what I taught. I try to remember each
students’ name which is good for me to know each one of them. I always greet them
wherever I see them in campus and outside campus. Some of students introduce me to
their parents. I socialize with every teachers in Grade-3 and I do not hesitate to ask
help from them when I need help. And Science, Math and Social teacher say that I
have confident to stand in front of the students and teach the lesson.

2. Have I been making the best possible use of school materials, the available facilities, and
professional opportunities? Illustrate.
- Let’s say 70 percent. I used school materials to demonstrate my lesson. I usually ask
the teaching materials that I need for my teaching. Sometimes, I bought it outside by
myself if they don’t have the material that I need. Sometimes, I modified school
materials to create my teaching aids. Like printing students’ work, I just went to
 printing room to print my work there and then sign my name in record sheet. So I
didn’t find any hard time for using school materials. If I need something for teaching,
I will just inform my homeroom teacher.

3. Have I shown evidence of ability to learn from experience?

- I have learned from my experience. Like classroom management, at first I am strict
about managing the class. As the result, students were wondering or walking around
the class during teaching and also during activity. I did inform students, if they
misbehave in the class, I will deduct their points but I didn’t really stick on what I
said. Later on, I started to stick on my rules and I just realized that I should be firmed
in what I have made or plan. I have learned that rule should be the rules which
encourage everyone to follow.

4. Do I appear to relate well with and be accepted by students?

- Yes, I feel like students accepted me to teach because they respect me as a teacher
even though I am not a permanent teacher in EIS. They knew that I just doing my
practical teaching but they respect me the same way as their teachers and call me,
Teacher. I can feel they show love to me inside or outside of the class.

5. Is discipline too strong, too weak, or about right? How could I improve in this area?
- Sometimes too weak, sometime about right. During activity, it’s hard to control the
students since they have over 20 students in each class. I asked them to find their
partners by themselves and some of talkative partners will pair up which can make
the work not going as I expected. What I need to improve is I still need to observe
more and to know each one of students’ behavior and also observe from other
teachers how they discipline the class.

6. What specific improvements or suggestions, if any, need to be made concerning my

mannerisms, speech traits, idiosyncrasies of personality, or appearance?
- I need to improve my pronunciations. Sometimes, students correct my pronunciations
when I’m explaining. They will say after me when I pronounce the word wrong. This
is what I need to be aware of and need to improve it.

7. What additional things do I need to learn or do to become a better teacher?

- I need to learn to know more about the students and try to understand them more. I
also still need to learn the discipline that each teachers practice in the class. And I
also need to apply in order to become a better teacher.
