Reflection on DLP and Learning Packet Making
Making Detailed Lesson Plans and Learning Packets was somewhat a bittersweet experience for me. For one, it gave me a chance to visualize how I would be teaching the topic. It gave me a clear direction as to how the lesson and the learning process would unfold. It was a great thing as it gave me clarity and it made the teaching process seem easier and more efficient. It was however a tedious task! To gather all the references, materials, articulate specific pages and such and then go ahead to write a script-like plan on how to implement all these was quite mind-blowing especially for a first timer like me. To be honest, I find teaching really enjoyable! I teach wherever I am given a chance – in Church, at home etcetera, it was in the technical level such as paper works and lesson planning that I don’t find myself enjoying at all. I find it at times unnecessary and tiresome. But then again, I also acknowledge the importance of these things as preparation is an important part of any endeavor. As one philosopher stated, if you fail to prepare, then prepare to fail. Lesson planning and making learning packets are crucial parts of the preparation process in teaching. Even tenured teachers still need to prepare! This is because, as Ma’am Catherine, the speaker in the webinar we attended said, the learners deserve it – yes, even the naughty ones. The learners, who are sent and financed by their parents and the government deserve to learn what they come to school for, and as educators who are paid to teach, we must do our part in doing what is needed to attain that learning. Also, one of the things I observed with the teachers I came to appreciate is that doing all these shouldn’t only be motivated by ‘the pay’, it must be motivated by the desire, the passion to see students learn. When educators have this as a mindset, no doubt these tedious tasks will be overshadowed by the joy of actually seeing the students grasp every simple or complicated concept in the lesson. As for me, I’ll do my best to make this my mindset – to allow my love for teaching overshadow the tiresome process of paper works and the like, and I know, I’d be able to get the hang of it eventually.
