Introduction

“The important thing is not so much that every child should be taught, as that every child should be given
the wish to learn.” ~John Lubbock
Welcome to my portfolio. I am Ms. Gemma T. Lino, a student of Nueva Vizcaya State University
Bambang Campus, under Bachelor of Elementary Education.
I choose to be a teacher because I want to make a difference. I could have chosen a education field where I
could serve the society but I think that education is the right field where I could fully realize this goal. I
believe that education is the most important asset any one will have, and one asset wich has the greatest
impact on the person and to everyone around them. While almost every child has the opportunity to gain
access to kindergarten and elementary education, not everyone has the chance to be given quality
education. As a future teacher educator, I have come to the right place to eliminate the misconceptions
about children. My experience in the off-campus training made me realize that teaching children require
ten times patience, understanding, compassion, passion and optimism. Teaching is a profession that one
cannot be taken for granted, sometimes it is frustrating and exhausting, but these are taken away by just
one small smile of the child.
I present this portfolio for you to read about my philosophy of teaching, my experiences during my
Practice Teaching/Off-Campus Training. My goal is to show you my strengths that would make me an
effective teacher.

 My Teaching Philosophy as a beginning teacher

Teaching is more than impearling knowledge; it is inspiring change; learning is more than absorbing facts; it is
acquiring understanding

-William Arthur Ward-

Education in a traditional definition, is the acquisition of knowledge, development of powers of reasoning and
logic, and preparation of oneself for mature life. Educators basically are the people who will provide all the
needs
and opportunities the pupils to learn, grow, and to be mature.
When teaching, one must observe many factors evolving around one student’s life, such as hereditary, home
environment and the society he/she involves in. These factors will help the teacher to come up what methods
and materials that fit the child’s natural inclinations and his/her way of processing knowledge.
The teacher’s primary role is to guide, rather than the source of learning, the students in finding answers to
themselves, and view mistakes as misconceptions, not the learner’s weakness. The teacher must also provide
students’ access to hands-on activities, allow them enough space and time to reinforce the lesson for the pupils
to discover on their own and where construction of knowledge to happen.
 I believe that a true educator must go beyond imparting general knowledge, developing reasoning and
thinking skills to his/her students. He/she must know the learning needs of each student, as each student
is unique and education is diverse.
 I believe in that every student has something to offer, like talent in music and arts, scientific and
mathematical inclinations, and even having a positive and caring personality. Therefore, every student
should be treated equally, and treat each student according to their strengths and needs. Everyone has
their own definition of success; thus, I will guide them to their success and achievements.
 I believe that the success in classroom management lies behind the techniques, consistency and fairness
in the part of the teacher.
 I believe in getting to know my students - strengths, weaknesses, likes, dislikes so that I will give their
Individual needs and help them to grow.

Teaching & Learning: Effective Strategies
http://learningcurveplanner.com.au/resources/teacher/professional-readings/teaching-and-learning-effective-
strategies-88.html
For many of us, teaching is a learned behavior, beyond our professional studies. So long as we possess the
desired personal attributes and are prepared to try new things, reflect, adjust and enter into dialogue with
colleagues about our core business of teaching and learning we will develop a professional practice.
Following are strategies well worth trying in order to build our professional practice:
Firstly, getting our classes off to a good start:
 be punctual and arrange the chairs and tables how we want them
 ask students to line up in an orderly fashion outside the class room
 as students enter the class room, greet them with a hello and a smile using first names
 chat positively with them as we prepare to begin the class
 greet the class as a whole and begin with something such as, “How is everyone, today we are going to….”
 start each lesson with a joke of the day/what’s making news/ anything special happening in anyone’s family -
the reality is that both our students and us learn better when are happy
 ask whether they encountered any problems with “learning in another settings” (homework)or understanding
what was learnt in the previous lesson
 try to “catch” students doing good things early in the class and praise them individually and privately; this will
set the tone for the lesson.
 early in the class, don’t ignore any behavior that doesn’t meet the class expectations
 be consistent and adopt the broken record approach
 should students come from a previous class in which expectations were low welcome them positively and
remind of the shared class expectations; “the way we do things around here”
 if there was physical activity in the previous class which significantly increased their heart rates, chat with
students outside the classroom in an orderly line about being about to enter the “learning zone”; a calming
time
 always have spare paper, pens, etc to cover students who don’t have what they require to learn and participate
positively in class
 choose before class the formats we will employ in the lesson such as, in groups, individual, presentations,
discussions, etc. Secondly, during class we can provide a strong impetus for learning by:
 role modelling positive 'want to be there' and 'can do' behaviors that show our pupils that we enjoy learning,
teaching and their company
 this sends the message that we care for them as people showing a genuine interest in wanting to listen, discuss,
investigate, think, take up a challenge and learn with them as a team together
 use 'we ‘ands’ 'us' not 'you', because that is exactly what quality learning is
 avoid sitting passively at the teacher’s desk; it is poor role modelling for active, interested and alive team
learning
 circulate around the room assisting, talking to and praising students one to one and in groups to develop their
personal attributes and qualities as learners for lifelong learning
 when helping them, kneel down or sit on a chair so that they are at eye level with us; don’t hover, it is quite
intimidating for our pupils.
 while circulating write notes in students’ planners highlighting positives (more than negatives) to show their
parents
You can conquer from your horse, but you must dismount to lead – Napoleon

21st Century: Teaching & Learning

 http://learningcurveplanner.com.au/resources/teacher/professional-readings/21st-century-teaching-and-
learning-8.html
The 20th century was a knowledge-based era in which
 remembering and reproducing information was the main focus
 it was not so much about how or why, but concerned with what = content
 our teaching encouraged left brain linear thinking with little emphasis on patterning or discovering
connections to create new understandings
The 21st century is a conceptual age, all about creativity and making connections and seeing patterns
 the net is the new paradigm for learning; to quote Mark Treadwell, “we can ignore it, but it won’t go away”
 our teaching needs to encourage right brain thinking to foster innovative ideas
 linking thinking and learning to build deeply rich understandings
George and Lisa Otero from New Mexico, have pioneered new pedagogies which engage students called
“Relational Learning”
 it’s about teaching that encourages students to use both the left and right sides of their brains
 time spent investigating their work will enhance both student engagement and learning outcomes.
Some ideas to integrate into learning and teaching that will help our pedagogies move from traditional 20th to
contemporary 21st century include
 students framing their own questions through thinking tools such as KWHL, PMI, Six Hats, Y diagram etc.
Replacing students answering questions from us
 students expanding their understanding through shared dialogue of their experiences, replacing building
knowledge banks through individual study
 students being encouraged to use their individual multiple and emotional intelligences and learning styles.
Replacing the belief that IQ fits all
 students linking their thinking and learning through habits of the mind and thinking tools. Replacing a
dominance
of left-brain thing that focuses on remembering.
 Information and knowledge are being created at an astonishing rate and our students have excellent filters on
what they are prepared to take in
 it is an overload situation and we must be discerning and creative on the “what “we teach; it must be relevant
in their worlds or their brains will disregard it
 personalized education is what we must strive for; it has chaos written all over it and pushes us outside our
comfort zones, but it’s essential for us to role model 21st century creative right brain thinking
The key is to nurture a learning environment in which students can learn different things in different ways in
different places at different times from different people; replacing learning the same things in the same ways in
the same places at the same times from the same people.

This week I continue my teaching as I mentioned in my second week, I have a routine in 4 sections like in
