REFLECTION PAPER

I entered the room, and I felt a very warm and welcoming atmosphere from
our students as well as the adviser of that subject.

Teaching is not an easy job. It requires our full dedication, love and
compassion for 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 in. Teachers
cannot teach what they do not know. And in teaching, things that should be taught
must be good, true, and correct.

As a teacher, I 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
particularly important in the lives of teachers because it helps them conduct lessons
in an orderly fashion and it allows students to know what they are going to learn and
how it fits into their needs. After the demonstration lessons, I felt relieved, contented,
and happy. Relieved because I made it, that I had overcome my fears. We really
need to connect with ourselves, our materials, our feelings, or response to our
material, how we would like our students to feel and how we would like to achieve
this connection with their hearts and minds. Contented because I know, and I did my
part since I gave my best to impart and share ideas to my students.

I motivated my students by enhancing their skills. I really tried my best to

make them feel comfortable when learning. And I genuinely believed in the students'
ability to succeed, and I am dedicated to them in achieving their success. Lastly, I felt
happy because I also saw the happiness in the face of my students. I enjoyed the
class. They are all very engaged and they really took part fully in the classroom
activities. I am happy because my students are happy. Be motivating, energetic
teacher, take care of your students with respect, accept their comments, welcome
their questions, and show gratitude for their participation. Then, nothing will stop you
from being a good teacher.
