 Activity 3
Managing the Classroom

Teachers have the presence and authority in conventional classes to modify the
environment to be as favorable to learning as feasible. In a single action, closing the
classroom door to eliminate outside noise eliminates the disturbance of all kinds.

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 teacher intern, I should:

a. write lesson plans and prepare instructional materials.

b. attend classes 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 the Post Pandemic?
- My expectation is that my students and I cannot socialize because of
each other's safety awareness so as not to get infected in case someone
gets sick, and we still have to follow public safety awareness and wear
protections such as face mask.

2. How did you get started? (State how you prepared yourself emotionally,
physically, mentally, and spiritually)
- I began by asking for the Lord's presence to do my tasks well, I prepared
myself to use the right emotions in teaching, and I faced them with
appropriate clothing that suited my profession. Before I teach, I mentally
prepare myself because I know that I will need a strong understanding of
the children I will teach.

3. As a would-be/pre-service teacher, how did you feel while going through your
final experiential learning course (Teaching Internship)?
- The teaching internship or experiential learning course is a crucial
turning point for many prospective teachers on their path to become
educators. It's a chance for them to put the information and abilities
they've gained in their education courses into practice and get real-world
classroom experience. During my teaching internships, I frequently
experience the following feelings and experiences: excitement,
nervousness, learning curve, reflection and self-evaluation, fulfillment and
progress. Keep in mind that every person's experience might be different,
and that feelings can change. The teaching internship should be
approached with an open mind, a willingness to learn, and a growth-
oriented perspective. Take advantage of the chance to hone your teaching
abilities and get priceless real-world experience by asking mentor
teachers and supervisors for advice and assistance.

4. What are your experiences during your first teaching? (Narrate your
unforgettable experience/s)
- In my first teaching experience, I felt both nervous and excited. Many new
practice teacher’s feel both nervous and excited before their first day of
teaching. It's a huge milestone, and the prospect of meeting students,
presenting courses, and managing a classroom may be both exciting and
terrifying. And forming relationships with students forming ties with
students is critical for good teaching. New practice teacher may find it
difficult to build rapport and create a good and inclusive school climate.
Understanding students' needs and interests, as well as developing
methods to engage them, may be a memorable and gratifying experience.

5. What were the challenges you encountered during your first teaching?
- Getting up early was one of the challenges I faced on my first day of
teaching. I had difficulty waking up early due to a lack of sleep, but
because this was my chosen profession, I adjusted myself to get to school
on time. Another challenge I faced was understanding the behavior of my
students that I teach. I realized that we must be able to understand each
3
 situation because we do not know what each young person goes through
before entering school.

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

- As I responded to the challenges I encountered, I thought about the
importance of us entering school on time, I thought about what good it
would bring to me and my students. With the behaviors they have, I
understood their situations, I first found out the real reason behind their
displayed behavior so I understood my students better.

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

-What motivated me in my teaching was my family, because of their
tireless support and care when I was struggling with my studies. I
dedicate this to them because of their sacrifice and perseverance so that I
can graduate. Therefore, I will further improve my studies so that in the
future I will truly become a teacher.
8. What is your current perspective towards teaching?
- My vision of teaching is that each student learns and acquires new
knowledge that will be imprinted on their hearts and minds that they can
also use in the future so even in this way I can help them reach their
dreams. Because we have a saying that education is a treasure that no
one can steal.
