and to adults in the school setting. It views of learning teach as a lifelong process and
disposition and skills for working towards improving us our teaching as well as improving
schools. In practice teaching we also know how to develop our learning environment
where teaching and learning can take place in the most effective and productive manner.
Practice teaching is very important for us as a future teacher because it serves as our
guide to step forward for our vocation of what best scenario to enclose ourselves and this
training develops as to become effective and efficient teacher to the young generation.
Practice teaching is likewise important potentials that would guide us to discover the best
techniques that we can achieve. Through this experience we can disregard our weaknesses
teachers. It is this immersion into the real world of school that prepares the student in
making the transition from trainee to professional. Practice teaching played an important
part in their development as teachers by providing a context wherein they could merge
theory and practice; find their own teaching and management styles as well as cope with
the demands of multi-tasking that being in a classroom demands. The paramount role of the
host teacher and the importance of positive relationships with all stakeholders were fore
grounded - as was the importance of an awareness of the cultural and contextual make-up
of learners.

Good teaching practice is a key influence on student learning - a desired outcome and
primary goal of higher educational institutions. Teachers strive to meet the principles of
good practice in an effort to provide the best learning experience for their students. Key

Learning is the fundamental and ongoing process that every child and adult
experiences throughout their life. It is also the ultimate goal of teaching that is not possible
I believe that all students can learn when they are accepted who and where they are in
their educational journey that’s why it is the duty of the teachers to fill in the needs of the
students because teaching is not merely stating the facts but it is also training the students
As I enter this course I know that there should be lot of qualities that a teacher should
possess with and the most essential for me to be an exceptional teacher is through the
qualities of being kind, attentive, open minded, generous, creative and create a positive
learning environment for all. The first thing that I will do is to gain their trust because this
is the most special assets that I must get so that I can create a positive relationship with my
students. I will encourage and give those opportunities to learn and discover new things
that are not yet happening to their lives and most especially I will value all of them as I
value myself.
I believe that it is also important that I as an educator must provide the students with
adequate respect and will strive to be a responsible teacher taking all the students needs so
that I can start making a good foundation of quality learning for my students. Through this
I will then be able to develop new avenues in each chapter of their lives as a student.
I really believe in the saying “Education is the most powerful weapon we can use to
change the world and change starts in small things that’s why every students are train to
As student teacher who aims to become a teacher, I will give my best to become a
fruitful and resourceful teacher for my future students bearing all the qualities of being a
good teacher.
I believe that the purpose of teaching is to let learning happen. Sometimes this means
just getting out of the way and keeping your opinions to yourself, and other times it means
intervening in decisive ways to make clear to students your seasoned, critical judgments
about the material being studied. I take Plutarch at his word that we are all capable of
making progress in virtue and capable of detecting signs of our approach toward it.
It is our duty to compare our present emotions with their former selves and with one
another, and thus determine differences. We must compare them with their former selves,
to see whether the desires, fears, anger, and passions which we are experiencing today are
less intense than they used to be, such a way we, by means of reason, they can rapidly get
rid of the causes that kindles and inflames them; and we must compare them with one
another, to see whether now we are more inclined to feel shame than fear, to be emulous
rather than envious, more eager for good repute than for money.
I believe it is always preferable to be direct and honest with and about oneself. This is
especially true for teachers. How else could we be trusted to work with those who have
come to us in earnest that we might help them shape their ideas and earn their diplomas,
and over whom we exercise some degree of authority whether in the form of grades or
status or simply experience? And so, my Credo is simple and it can be yours too.
I believe that remarkable works from the world's great traditions can tell us useful
things about how others have viewed and expressed what it means to be better, more
F i e l d S t u d y 7 – P r a c t i c e T e a c h i n g P o r t f o l i o | 10
ennobled, humans; and, further, that we stand to learn a great deal from those accounts. It
is our further task to participate, and to become a part of it. Then and only then can we
transfiguration that, I believe, what we seek to teach comes alive and continues to live a
renewed life in and through us. We give it life, even as it animates us.
I believe those who profess to be teachers must dedicate their lives to the pursuit of
learning, and must think constantly and deeply about what it means to be a teacher. A
teacher is someone who has made a deliberate decision to be dedicated to learning and
then to share what she or he has learned and continues to learn while teaching. I have found
a maxim that expresses this well: "cum docimus, discimus" [we learn as we teach].
Another motto by which I live and learn, closely related to the first, is "discere vivendo"(to
In addition, I believe that honouring our students, we have our obligations to the
books and concepts and axioms and facts that we teach as well as to the community within
which we happen to be teaching and (it is to be hoped) learning. Yet, above all, I believe an
educator should put his or her students first, and in this way contributes meaningfully to
the Commonwealth of Learning. It is this that enables our lessons, over time, to circulate
and reverberate honourably and amply in the communities of which our students are a part.
I believe a teacher is someone who makes an on-going effort to listen to what students
are saying, to clue in to how they learn and to act on this appropriately. No matter what or
F i e l d S t u d y 7 – P r a c t i c e T e a c h i n g P o r t f o l i o | 11
how we teach, it becomes our responsibility to help students learn enough to be able to
pose appropriately prior questions; namely, those fundamental questions upon which the
very ground of what they think they know is based. This means that teachers have a nearly
sacred trust and duty where their students are concerned. "No one is fit to educate unless he
feels each pupil an end in himself, with his own rights and his own personality, not merely
Henceforth, I believe that no matter what class or what topic I might happen to be
teaching, everything I do should be geared toward helping students see what they will be
able to do with what they have been studying. Often for me this takes the form of having
the students write critically or creatively (and often both at the same time) about what they
have been studying and at times to write in imitation of the book they have been reading.
But this is just a preliminary step. I believe further that every teacher is obliged to know in
advance and to be able to state clearly what he or she wants the students to be able to do
with the content of every lesson that is taught. It is in this respect that the real job of a
learning how to learn what they need to know so that, along the way, they can begin to take
I believe the ultimate role of the teacher is to be there for one's students as they "get" a
particular lesson or book, and then seek to move beyond the mere content of the instruction
toward the more far-reaching implications and underlying principles. This is as true when
I train fencers to riposte as it is when I show writers how to use the semi-colon. To be sure,
the acquisition and mastery of basic skills proper to each discipline is vital to working
effectively within that area of investigation. Still, once these basics are presented and
F i e l d S t u d y 7 – P r a c t i c e T e a c h i n g P o r t f o l i o | 12
"learned," I labour to help my students discover within themselves their own characteristic
excellence; to discover for themselves how these basic skills can help them draw out,
I strive to enable them to recognize their strengths so as to cultivate them and then
apply what they have learned to other areas of study and activities in the world. Sometimes
this means taking the time to get to know how each of them learns. To do this honestly and
with integrity a teacher must strive to respect the worth and dignity of every student--and
often mark up a lot of homework assignments. Rather than subscribe to the doctrine of
"student management" (which maintains that any time given to students is time away from
your own, "more important," work), an educator must take seriously the charge implied in
the etymology of the word education, to lead I believe it is our challenge and our reward,
as educators, to lead our students out of and away from ignorance and toward a path most
appropriate for their seeking a heart of wisdom and subsequently acting nobly in the
world.
The essence of my teaching, and what I hope to is still in each of my students (even as
I strive to learn it anew each time I put it to the test), is summed up well by Montaigne in

accordingly. I expect that the teachers and all the staff of the said school are approachable.
I also expect that this school has a wide playground; a canteen inside, consists of many
classrooms with respective comfort rooms and well ventilated. Most importantly I expect
that it has more numbers of pupils who study in this institution because parents want their
children to be safe and it is away from traffic it is safe for them to go to school every day.
But, what I expect the most is that my cooperating school which is the Gulayon
capability to become a future teacher someday. That this school is my key to gain more
knowledge about on how to deal pupils that possesses different level of understanding.
More importantly, I expect that I learn more on how to impart or input knowledge and
information to the children effectively. I also expect that this school will be my training
ground on how to act professionally when it comes to dealing with the teachers around the
school.
I’m looking forward that this school can mold me into an effective teacher and
Teaching is not effective without any facilities in school. Gulayon Integrated School
has various facilities that make it conducive for learning. Gulayon Integrated School is
such a big school. As I observed, the school has many facilities. The school has a computer
laboratory and library which means that they have complete facilities to ensure students’
learning.
On the other hand, the school has a gymnasium wherein various activities were held.
Moreover, the school had enough classrooms to accommodate every pupil to learn. I was
also amazed because each classroom has a comfort room and a mini-library. Having the
different facilities in the cooperating school made the institution community conducive and
effective in teaching.
I observe therefore that the school has all the facilities that ensure the pupils’
development in all learning areas and so within the extra – curricular activities.
Here are some of the facilities taken from Gulayon Integrated School:
a. Library

knowledge and where both teachers and pupils can widen their minds especially for better
future.

e. School Tour
Gulayon Integrated School is such a big school; there are lots of classrooms. It has a
covered court where all their activities and program are held. As we tour around the
campus, I noticed that is spacious. They have their kitchen room and a canteen. The School
is well – organized.
As a student teacher there are lots of responsibilities to be taken care of. First is my
responsibility to the pupil, to mold them into a better person in this world. I will teach them
all things that I learned with all my best, I will be a model for them and I will act as a real
teacher to gain their respect. I have the responsibility to input knowledge and information
that are useful to them, and show them how to respect with each other.
to help develop well – equipped learners that are competitive globally. It is also my duty to
obey their school rules. As a student teacher I must accept and obey whatever the principal,

responsibilities that lied in my hands. I felt happy and a little bit nervous since I am new to

nervous because it is not easy to handle another task which whom you build every learners

that I can accomplish successfully. Above all, I trust in Him that He may guide me with this
a. Knowledge
It is one of the most important tools that I need to bring in my cooperating school. It is
the sword towards ignorance. It views learning to teach a lifelong process and dispositions.
As a student teacher, I have the task to input knowledge to the learners so that they will
gain the quality of learning as they continue to embrace the power of education that can
transform lives. Then, I know that if good teachers have these qualities which are
b. Attitudes
Values and attitudes are important tools that I need to possess as part of good qualities
that everyone who likes that every educator must have. Teachers are models of values.
Whether conscious of them or not, values are exhibited implicitly and explicitly. Sincerity
and honesty are values exhibited in words and actions. Teachers interact with students
every minute. Therefore as a future teacher, we should unbiased and objectives in judging
the work and activities of the learners. I should be open-minded and patient.
c. Skills
The skills are another tool that I need bring to my cooperating school in which I can
share to the learners that I handled. It determines my capacity to understand and assimilate
information for my own use and application. I should show and make them realize that not

As I reflect to myself being a student teacher, I learned that teachers are not just an
intellectual or knowledgeable educators as well as we must possess the skills, habits and
also good qualities. Teachers must be resourceful in order to sustain the knowledge that the
pupils need. I am really prepared to teach because teaching has always been my passion,

not to feel nervous when I enter my classroom assignment. As I observe the class that I
have to handle for almost two months, many question formulated in my mind. Am I really
prepared? Do I have the ability and capability to teach? Can I be an effective teacher?

responsibilities that lies ahead. But as the days goes on, I am able to manage myself

Week 2
Being a student teacher, the job that my cooperating teacher instructed to me are the
following: to facilitate the class, to supervise the pupils during their classroom activities, to
guide the learners and to instruct the pupils on what to do. Every morning she let me
monitor the pupils cleaning their assigned area if they are performing their task
cooperatively. She also instructed me to facilitate her students in their group learning
activities and to observe the behaviour of her students. She also let me records the scores of
her pupils every time they had quizzes. Most of all, she told me to handle and take good
care of her class if she is not around. During my demonstration my critic teacher observes
me. Afterwards, she gave me some remarks and suggestions that can help me to be better in
my next lesson. It is not easy to do such task but I was inspired the moment that my pupils
where participating actively. With that methods and tips that she shares to me, I develop the
attitudes of trying alternatives procedures until I obtain satisfactory results. I never get tired
of making lesson plan because I conditioned myself that I can make the learners more
that in her lesson, she is really prepared. All her instructional materials for the lesson are
already organized. One thing I admire the most is her confident and active personality
which is evident whenever she talks. She taught me to be one of the best in my profession.
I really admire my resource teacher for guiding, teaching and supporting me.

happy that she was my critic teacher. I know that I can learn a lot from her. She reminded
everything and tells me what to do as a student – teacher. She has just moulded me into a
better and effective teacher. We became close and she treated me more than I can hope for.
She is kind because she is always there for me, to give encouragement so that I can do my
best to be successful in life. Furthermore, she gave some advises on how to be an effective
teacher. Above all, she exerted effort in helping me whenever I have a problem related to
my demonstration teaching.
In my first dealing with the learners, I observed that they are good students. They are
behaved when their teacher starts discussing the lesson. Every time I start my

I am really meant for the teaching profession because I have a passion to learn and the
love to teach what I learned. I am also patient in dealing with the children. I am able to

The learning resources that I utilized with my cooperating teacher were books,
chalkboards, eraser, bulletin board and dictionary which help me a lot in putting
knowledge and information to the learners mind. These learning resources are very
important to the learners. With the help of these resources, it is easy for me to inject
information to them. The learners learn so many things with the help of those resources.
Aside from instructing them, I usually use the different learning resources by injecting
techniques, objects in which they can directly find exact data and information.

The quality of a school’s environment and its facilities has a strong influence on pupils
learning. Besides regular use in organizing and managing a school’s activities, records of a
school’s physical facilities and material resources such as furniture and equipment can
provide data to derive many indicators for accessing the quality education in a school.
The schools have records and data about the availability of the materials and facilities
that every learner can use. They have faucets in each classroom, toilets, electricity,
canteen, and other different tools and services in school. The maintenance and
administrators record the following information so that they can use it to evaluate the

7. Reflection: After Analyzing the Cooperating School’s Vision, Mission and Goals
a. I realized that…
Every Filipino has the right to be educated. Learners need to be treated in a friendly
and gender-sensitive, safe and motivating environment. I realized that the important goal
of teaching is that to have a product of being effective, efficient and holistic individual in
the society. Therefore as a future teacher, it is a big responsibility that all the knowledge
and information that you have to input to their minds must be true and can response their
needs. I also realized that being a teacher it is obliged to obey all the rules and regulations
b. So I need to…
Study the things that I did not encounter during my practice teaching and I need to
work hard to achieve the goals, mission and vision of the schools by practicing or applying
it always. And make sure that I can learn what are the rules to be follow, the polices and
even the usual practices that the teachers are doing, that can enhance my ability in this
chosen profession.

Week 4
The classroom routines that are performed by my cooperating teacher are a daily task
-Conducting a flag ceremony inside the gymnasium every Monday. If it is not Monday
the different grade levels are having their flag ceremony is inside their respective rooms.
- Having different types of claps for the pupils who participate in the class.
One important thing that I should do to make efficient and effective routines, we
should have to apply the proper routine and instruct it properly to the learners. We can
catch the pupils’ attention when we start the class with enthusiasm in our own appearance.
If you have set a routine, you can have your students carry out daily tasks that require a
high level of responsibility. They may not perfect it the first or even second time, but doing
something every day is a sure-fire way to become proficient on it. If I’m going to motivate
them to their assign task, they will know also how to work without always reminding them.
I gathered information that shadowing opportunities in every learner they will develop
their capabilities base on what is implementing routines to them. Classroom routines are
the way of training them to become an independent and self – discipline in their own
duties.

I observe that my critic teacher checked the pupils’ attendance daily. If she is busy of

I will follow the routines of my critic teacher. Like what I am doing, I set rules and
regulations for them to follow to have a better classroom; example: they need to come to
school early. When my critic teacher instructs me, I just simply obey her. With that I can
learn how to manage classroom effectively. During discussions, I follow her steps and
procedure on how to use the methods efficiently. My critic taught me how to use the
appropriate way of classroom management. She suggested and instructed me clearly until I

When I started with my internship I was afraid to face the challenges, I have lots of
questions bothering me. These questions are: do I deserve to be here in this school? How to
handle different learners? Who is my cooperating teacher? Is she good? These are the
questions that make me feel uncomfortable and out of confidence. The days had passed;
my internship was really a part of my life. I cannot help myself but think of a thousand
times. Do I really belong here? Am I effective? Do I have the quantities of a good teacher?
And these questions are my fuss how to be strong, how to develop my determination that I
could be a teacher someday. I learned that the biggest challenge I am facing is the constant
practice of my chosen vocation that can enhance me to experience the real scenario of my
profession.

big role to play in the education process; they are the ones responsible for making the
