EMBRACING THE WORLD OF TEACHING INTERNSHIP

My Aims/Purposes

At the end of the activity, I should be able to:

a. prepare all requisites for my first teaching;

b. demonstrate a very satisfactory teaching performance, and
c. develop positive views and conviction in every teaching performance.

My Responsibilities

Embracing the world of teaching requires a daily dose of vitamin C’s for
teachers such as Courage, Confidence, Competence, Commitment, and
Compassion. Each day you must brace yourself with courage and confidence to face
the public (students/learners, colleagues, administrators, and others). Along with
your initial vitamin C's, it is expected that you know how to exude competence and
execute commitment and compassion in every endeavor you take. This means
embracing a holistic, dynamic, unique YOU in the world of different strokes, different
folks.

As a teaching intern, I should:

a. write lesson plans and prepare instructional materials.

b. arrive on time.
c. conduct/ implement the prepared lesson plan.
d. assess my teaching performance.
e. be kind to everyone.

My Observations (Reflections and Insights)

1. What are your expectations for your Teaching Internship in this New Normal?
My expectation to this new normal teaching is that it is not going to be easy for me
__________________________________________________________________
because we are what they called a pandemic baby. There are a lot of changes, struggles,
__________________________________________________________________
sacrifices and challenges we were going to face internal and external part of teaching
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
internship. For instance, we all aware that the students we are going to encounter are in the
middle of elementary and secondary learner. Where their learning abilities and learnings are
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
stack in their last experience of normal schooling before the pandemic.

2. How did you get started? (State how you prepared yourself emotionally, physically,
mentally, and spiritually)

I prepared myself emotionally and mentally by setting up my goals because I'm

__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
in this point. Why I started this journey of my life, how and what are the challenges
__________________________________________________________________
that I've been through, how accomplishing this challenge help the life of my family
__________________________________________________________________
to change and I should not start this at the first place if I were not going to finish
__________________________________________________________________
this. Physically by avoiding the things that are not good for my health. But still
__________________________________________________________________
there are times that I cannot control everything but the good thing is that I have a
__________________________________________________________________
cooperating that understands me and my health situation. And, spiritually by
__________________________________________________________________
praying to Lord to guide me and bless me to have a nice cooperating teacher and
__________________________________________________________________
Lord never disappoints me.

3. As a would-be/pre-service teacher, how did you feel while going through your final
experiential learning course (Teaching Internship)?

__________________________________________________________________
As a would be/pre service teacher, I feel like my heart and cheeks will going
to explode because of the excitement and the happiness that I have in my heart
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
while going through to my final experiential learning course. My heart were happy
I__________________________________________________________________
know that I accomplished my teaching task successful and smooth. If my student
__________________________________________________________________
enjoy my teaching hour and gained knowledge from me. I feel like I was flying in
__________________________________________________________________
the sky when my student and cooperating teacher appreciate my teaching.

4. What are your experiences during your first teaching? (Narrate your unforgettable
experience/s)

I have this experience in my first week of teaching that I cannot forget is that
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
how I was being respected by my students even though I was just an intern
student. I have also this experience from one of my students that I felt more pity
__________________________________________________________________
than being angry to him because of what and how he behaves. He was much older
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
than of his classmates. I was asking him to read the text in the presentation and
yet he answered me of he doesn't want to read, and he has no respect. I don't
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
know where those response coming from out of the blue. I get angry at first and
told him that kind of behavior is not good, and he stop and just listened. I feel lik
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
he always getting that kind of statement and treatment over and over for him to
__________________________________________________________________
assumed and classified himself as to be not respectful.

6. How did you respond or get through with those challenges?

I respond or get through with that challenge of how would be a teacher
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
be react on that kind of situation. I told him that the kind of behavior he has is not
good and will never be good. I told to my cooperating teacher what happened and
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
then she's the one who told what happened to the assigned adviser of that student.
My cooperating teacher told me that the day after what happened, that student
__________________________________________________________________
c__________________________________________________________________
ame to her and asking for apology on how he behave, and my cooperating
teacher told him that he has no mistake to ask for her apology but instead he
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
should come to me and ask for apology. The student was shy to talk to me but I'm
happy to know that he realized his mistake.

7. Who/what was your motivation during your first teaching?

My motivation during my first teaching is my father. My father who never
__________________________________________________________________
leave me, who never doubt that I could do everything if I wanted to, who always
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
supported me emotionally and financially, and who gives me the life and second
__________________________________________________________________
chance of life to live. My motivation in my mind during that preparation of my first
__________________________________________________________________
teaching is that 'I have to finish this dream of us not just the goal of my father
for me to have a good life but I am doing all of this not to disappoint him and I
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
want him also to get proper medical assistance and to have soon provided him
__________________________________________________________________
and give him a good life he deserves.
__________________________________________________________________

8. What is your current perspective towards teaching?

As of my experience in practice teaching in a short period of time, my current perspective
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
towards teaching is that everything will be difficult if we put in our mind that it is really is difficult.
__________________________________________________________________
But if you will enjoy what you were doing even though teaching is not your fist choice,
everything will be enjoyable you will love what you were doing. It is so great to feel valued and
__________________________________________________________________
__________________________________________________________________
respected by students.
__________________________________________________________________
Teaching is enjoyable and I'm definitely enjoying what I am doing. My heart really belongs
__________________________________________________________________
to teaching. Before I believed that teaching is a noble job and it strengthen my belief even more.
