REFLECTION NOTE
DEMONSTRATION TEACHING

Teachers are the model of learners. Learners listen to them, follow what they say and
sometimes obey them more than their parents. Teachers as learner’s model need to be a paragon
of virtues. They have to live what they teach and be a good example to the learners who are
following them. They are being looked up by people around them and the community. So, they
have to live in the norms and conducts of a good teacher.

As a teacher, we need to prepare a lesson plan that fits to the learners’ level, needs,
interests, teaching situations, and the teachers understanding of how learners learn best, the time
and the resources available. Lesson planning is very important in the lives of teachers because it
helps them conduct lesson in an orderly fashion and it allows students to know what they are
going to learn and on how it fits into their needs.

After the demonstration lessons, I felt relieved, contented and happy. Relieved because I
accomplished something and realized that we really need to connect with ourselves, our
materials, our feelings or response about our material, how we would like our learners to feel and
how we would like to achieve this connection with their hearts and minds. We as teacher shall
also motivate our learners in enhancing their skills. I really tried my best to make them feel
comfortable when learning. And I truly believed in the learners’ capacity to succeed and I am
dedicated to them in achieving their success. Teaching, requires full dedication, love and
compassion on the profession and the learners. Dedicated in a sense that we, teachers should
have the ability to inspire students through approaches, actions, and even through the lessons and
activities that students were engaged. “Teachers cannot teach what they do not know”. And in
teaching, things that should be taught must be good, true and correct.

”Becoming a teacher does not end with know how to do it”.
