To realize the Intended Learning Outcome, Work my way through these steps:
- In this observation I sure maintain the safe and secure.

1. Visit a school. Look into facilities and support learning areas in the campus, then in the
classroom.
 The some of facilities is clean
 And, they keep all the student safe.
2. Observe and use the checklist as you move around the school premises.
They use the board the to motivate the student.
3. Analyze your gathered data about the school environment.
Creative – they use their mind to think a lot of decoration in their school to motivate
some student.
Motivational - they put a lot of motivation for the student and it’s help student to go in
school.
Instructional materials – the student and teacher use gadgets then the student learn more
because of the technology.

OBSERVE
As you move around the campus, observations forms are provided for you to document your
observation. It is advised that you read the entire worksheet before proceeding to the school site.
A good understanding of the activities and tasks to be accomplished in the activity sheet will
yield better learning result.
SCHOOL, FACILITIES OBSERVATION CHECKLIST
Familiarize yourself with the different areas and facilities of the school. Check the column to
indicate their availability. Give a brief description of those that are available, and say how each
will contribute to the students’ learning and development

Facilities Description
Office of the Principal √ - The office of the principal is
located on the second-floor
building of the school beside the
head teacher’s office.

- The existence of the principal’s
office will surely contribute to
the student's learning and

employees of the institution and
In doing so, it can help to
improve and provide a quality of
education for students. Aside
from that, the principal’s office
also supports and conducts
research and reviews necessary
for the update of the institution's
curriculum, which will be
beneficial for the learners
because they can have the
opportunity to access challenging
academic experiences.
There are still many duties that
fall under the supervision of the
principal's office, but I have only
selected those that are most
crucial to the education and
growth of the learners.

Classroom Observational Report
- The community where the school can be found is a bit
flooded on the side of the road, and there are several
houses that surround the area which I suppose is where
the majority of the students live. Unlike any other school
that has a busy road, here at Santa Maria High School,
there are only a few vehicles on the road, which is a
good thing for the student’s safety.
- The campus of the school is situated on the low-lying
lands of Macabebe, making the establishment vulnerable
to severe flooding. When you enter the school there is
no free space area for students to hang out, like trees
with some benches on them, because the school campus
building have a lot of cracks which makes them unsafe
to use. Luckily, these buildings are no longer in use
because they are heavily flooded and teachers already
conduct their classes in the new school building.
- When we entered the school campus and roamed
around the area, we observed that every office is labeled
accordingly to its usage; like, for example, if a student
wants to go to the principal room, he or she can easily
distinguish which room is it because it has its own label
pasted on the front door. They also have a bulletin board
to keep people informed of the latest announcements.
- Based on my observation while roaming around the
school, I have noticed that there are paintings exhibited
in the school halls made by the learners. On the stairs,
you can find some students doing their physical fitness
tests, running, and jumping on the staircase under the
supervision of their teacher. At the center of the school,
you can find the gymnasium and the cafeteria where the
students hang out during their break time, chatting with
their friends, while the others play some sports like
basketball. The school has a computer laboratory,
counseling room, and library which are all accessible.
The classrooms are well-ventilated and organized which
makes them comfortable for students.

School: Sta Maria National High School Grade/Year Level: TVL HE- II
Subject Area: Personal Development Date: September 22, 2022
 1. Look at the walls of the classroom. What are the visual posted on the walls? What
heroes, religious figure, lessons, visual aids, announcement, do you see posted?
- Based on what we have observed each classroom displays various designs, and information
on their walls including their strand name and section pasted on their front door and on the
upper part of the wall in a decorative manner, list of famous tourist spots in the Philippines,
motivational quotes, bulletin board to keep students updated, religious figure, progress chart,
first aid kit, safety signs and information about COVID-19, and a flat screen tv.

2. Examine how the teacher’s table located? How are the tables and chairs/desks
arranged?
- Some classrooms have tables for teachers, but some do not. The teacher's table is usually
located in the center of the room, in front of the blackboard. The chairs are arranged in 2
columns with 4 rows on the left and right sides of the room and a 1 meter allotted space in the
center aisle.

3. What learning materials/equipment are present?

- The learning materials or equipment provided in each classroom are lapel mic, blackboards,
chalk, and a flat screen tv used for presentations. Aside from that, there are no other available
learning resources present in each classroom, not unless the teacher will provide for them.
There are also no books present in the classroom, and the students need to visit the library if he
or she wants to read a book or do some research.

4. Observe the students. How many are occupying one room?

- Each room is occupied by a minimum of 30 students but not more than 45 students. In other
classrooms, learners are seated alphabetically or they follow a seating arrangement made by
the teacher. Students who have vision and hearing problems are usually seated in front of the
class.

5. Is the room well-lit and well ventilated?

- Each room has a glass window and two ceiling fans, but, unfortunately, these are not enough
to reduce the heat entering the classroom, which makes the room less comfortable for the
students. Aside from that, it also has four fluorescent lights, which makes the room well-lit.
Overall, the only problem in every room is that it has poor ventilation which needs to be
improved by the school.

Location of the School: Sta Maria Macabebe Pampanga
 Date of Visit: September 22, 2022

The room where we were assigned has poor ventilation, and they only have two available
ceiling fans in every room, which makes it really uncomfortable both for the students as well as for
the teachers. Good thing there are glass windows available in every classroom that somehow
contribute to reducing the heat coming from the sun.

As I was observing the school hallway, I noticed that every room has a bulletin board with
decorative designs that makes it captivating and pleasing to the eyes of the students. Learners'
output, such as paintings, is exhibited in the school hallway, which gives a sense of pride ad
fulfillment on the learners part and serves as an inspiration for the other students to work harder.

Teachers at Santa Maria National High School are innovative teachers because they use the
aid of technology when it comes to their way of teaching, which includes the utilization of a lapel
mic to reduce the risk of loss of information or mishearing information. They also encourage
students to deliver their reports through PowerPoint presentations, which helps in developing the
learners' 21st-century skills.

While students, on the other hand, are very respectful towards us, because they address our
names with a madam and sir attached to them, they are also greeting us with “good morning,
ma’am/sir, and thank you, ma’am/sir, for teaching us”, which we take for a response when they
greet us. This kind of attitude the learners have towards us is very heartwarming on our part as a
student teacher.

Analyze
1. How do the school campus and the classroom in particular impact the learning of the
students going to school? What are your conclusions?
- Research study suggests that students are more motivated to go to school and much more
attentive in class if their study area is neat and organized. In short, it must be accessible and
flexible for learning. Disorganized and chaotic environments, however, can lead to worry and
anxiety, which will obviously have a bad impact on the learners' ability to learn. Therefore, it is
very important to consider the best environment for them.

2. How does this relate to your knowledge of child and adolescent development/how does
this relate to your knowledge of facilitating learning?
- Based on research studies, the physical environment of a child influences his or her
developmental outcomes, which include his or her academic performance, cognitive, social, and
emotional development. Therefore, it is important that we should consider these things in our
account because the environment where the child grows contributes to how he or she will
develop as a person.

REFLECT
1. Would you like to teach in the school environment you just observed? Why? Why
not?
- Despite the fact that the school we picked to monitor lacks adequate facilities to make the
teaching and learning process comfortable  and accessible for both teachers and students.I would
still like to work as a teacher at this institution, because students who attend public schools
require more care and direction when it comes to their educational experiences. I have seen that
it is hard for them to study in that kind of environment wherein everything is limited be it on the
availability of learning materials and facilities, still, learners’ willingness to learn and
perseverance had caught my attention that makes me want to teach in this institution.

2. What kind of school campus is conductive to learning?

- A school campus that is considered conducive to learning must make the students feel a sense
of belongingness and acceptance; it must have complete, safe, organized facilities and provide
learners with comfortable physical space.

3. What kind of classroom is classroom is conductive to learning?

- A conducive classroom must be accessible, comfortable, organized, clean, and well-ventilated.
It must respect students' diversity and allow them to freely express their ideas and promote unity
among the students.

4. In the future, how can you accomplish your answer in number 3?

- In order to accomplish what I have mentioned in question number three, I will seek financial
assistance from our barangay, municipality, and other political institution to help in building
accessible and safe facilities for students, and as for my part as their teacher, I will use teaching
strategy that promotes inclusivity and encourages success among students.

5. Write your additional learning and insight here.

- The school environment where learning takes place plays an important role in motivating our
students to learn. In order to successfully impart knowledge to students and develop their skills,
it is important to take immediate action in building accessible, and comfortable facilities for
students.

Activity 1.2 Observing bulletin board displays

Resource Teacher: Ma’am Eljane Cunanan Teacher’s Signature__________________

 Observation REPORT

When we went to examine the school building, we noticed that in every hallway there were at
least three bulletin boards; even the school staff office, such as the faculty room, and principal’s office, has
its own bulletin board. The bulletin boards are usually placed outside each room that display pictures and
names of the students and some photos of school activities are also posted.

The displays on every bulletin board are color printed, and there are plenty of designs posted on it
which makes it captivating, eye-catching, and interesting to the students. The text and pictures used are
large in size, which makes them readable for learners who have poor eyesight problems.

The materials used in every bulletin board posted in the school hallways are borders that come in
a different color that matches the board display and some printed pictures. All of their written messages
are grammatically correct and easy to understand. What got my attention and captivated my eyes was the
colorful designs posted on the bulletin board that compliments every outline and detail on the bulletin
that makes it aesthetically pleasing.

My Board Display Lay-out

ANALYZE

1. What do you think was the purpose of the board?

- The purpose of the bulletin board I made is for the children to know the people who gave their
lives for the freedom they enjoy today, and also for the children to know the importance of
history in our lives.

2. Did the board display deign reflect the likes/interests of its target audience? Why? Why
not?

- I think it somehow managed to arouse the children's attention by answering the questions
posted on the bulletin board. But I also think that the same brown color design is not very
pleasing to the eyes of children, so the bulletin board itself does not become eye catching. So all
in all, there is still a need for improvement in the designs and choice of color.

3. Was the language used clear and simple for the target audience to understand? Why?
Why not?

- I think that the words I used on my bulletin board are clear and orderly so that students can
easily read and understand them.

4. Was the board display effective? Why? Why not?

- The information written on the bulletin board itself is the most effective because it helps to
widen the horizons of the students and also those questions regarding history posted on the
bulletin board provides extra knowledge to the children and help them to develop their critical
thinking skills.

5. What suggestion can you make?

- I suggest adding additional designs that are suitable for the event to be celebrated. In addition,
the bulletin itself should be made colorful to be eye-catching to the students.

Based on your suggestion, purpose an enhanced version of the display board. Use the form
below.

helps students understand history better and have an idea of how important it is to our society.

Objectives:
 To convey to children the importance of studying history.
 To make the study of history more engaging and enjoyable by placing decorative designs on
the bulletin boards that are eye-catching to the students so that it gets their attention.
 To develop students' critical thinking skills by adding trivia and questions to the bulletin
board.

Best features of my proposal bulletin enhancement:

The following are the best features of my proposed board display enhancement:
 Informational - It is informational because it disseminates information to students and helps
to widen their horizons.
 Decorative - It is decorative because it has decorative designs that are pleasing and eye-
catching to the eyes of the students.

Content Resources (Name each needed resource and give each a brief description)
 Stapler - To join pages of paper that are needed on the bulletin board.
 Lights - To make the bulletin board sparkle even when it is dark.
 Water Paint - To make the designs more realistic.
 Carton (from Balik-bayan box) - Here on this recycled paper I will put or stick the pictures
and also to reduce the cost and help the environment

Materials for aesthetic enhancement:

The following are the materials to be used for aesthetic enhancement:
 Colored Paper
 Pictures
  Decorative Stickers
 Yarn

1. Name at least five skills that a teacher should have to be able to come up with
effective board display. Elaborate on why each skill is needed.

To be able to come up an effective board display a teacher should possess the following:

 Artistic or Creative - In order for a teacher to make a beautiful and eye catching bulletin
board it is necessary that he is creative, he has the ability to create something out of
nothing and make it pleasing to the eyes of the others.
 Resourceful - It is necessary for a teacher to be resourceful when it comes to creating a
bulletin board because sometimes there is no intended budget for it; therefore, the only
thing a teacher can do is to use the availability of resources that she has in order to create
a creative and eye-catching bulletin board.
 Originality - A teacher must have originality in the designs that she will put on the bullet
board that he will make so that it will be unique from others.
 Good in communication - The messages you want to convey on your bulletin board must
be clear and organized so that students can easily understand them.
 Innovative - It is necessary that the designs that will be used by the teacher are modern
and up-to-date so that they are appealing to the eyes of the students.

2. Which of the skills you named in # 1 do you already have? Recall your past
experiences in making board display. How do you practice these skills?

- One of the skills I already have from the ones I mentioned in question number 01 is being
effective when it comes to delivering messages. I still remember when I was in high school, our
teacher assigned us to make a bulletin board inside our classroom to post an update or
announcement. At first, I had a hard time organizing those designs as well as how to deliver the
messages. But eventually, I learned, and now I use those skills I had acquired and developed
when doing my projects and school activities.
3. Which skills do you need to develop? What concrete steps will you take on how you
can improve on or acquire these skills.

- I think one of the skills that I still need to develop is how to be innovative. Because as a
person, I really love classic vintage designs and for sure these kinds of designs are no longer a
passion of students and they prefer the modern and up-to-date ones. That's why now I'm
gradually keeping up with what's trending, but in a moderate way to just have ideas about it, that
I can use and apply not only for making bulletin boards but also for teaching.

My Personal Illustration of an Effective
School Environment

Most people say that today's children are too lazy to study. But what they don't know is
that there are also reasons why they lose motivation to go to school. One of the reasons is because
of the condition of the school institution they attend, sometimes it does not have adequate facilities
to provide for students; there are also some instances that the room where learning occurs is not
well ventilated which makes it really uncomfortable for learners. So, with these reasons we stated,
what do you think makes up an effective school environment?

The photo you see above shows an effective school environment that encourages children
to attend school. As you can see in the picture, the buildings are beautifully constructed and the
facilities are sufficient to meet the number of students. It also has a large space outside the school
that can be used as a hangout area for students during their break hours or as a meeting place when
they have group projects. The teacher can also conduct physical activities here to help students be
strong and fit. Lastly, in order for a school to have an effective school environment, teachers must
also address the physical, social and psychological needs of students. Lastly, in order for a school
to have an effective school environment, teachers must also address the physical, social and
psychological needs of students.

The instructional strategies that should be used by the teacher must help to enhance the
ability of students when it comes to their social, physical, and psychological needs. To promote an
effective school environment, children must be able to freely express their ideas. Learners must
also learn how to respect their fellow students and also accept their differences in religion, culture,
gender, etc. The teacher must address all of this so that she can promote an effective school
environment.
