My Teaching Experience Report

I started this day by being determined to wake up early. Since this was my first day of practice teaching at Bulihan National High School and their flag ceremony has been scheduled every Monday at 5:30 in the morning, I really need to start disciplining myself regarding time management. I arrived there at 5: 25 in the morning, a good start! As I attended, I started to miss those Mondays that I was attending flag ceremonies at CvSU-SC. However, since this semester is different from the others, I started to think how I should behave and handle everything that I will encounter for the next 3 months. Today was also my first time to find and meet the critic teacher assigned to me by the acting head of Mathematics Department. It was a good thing

They were wild and noisy. Some of them didn’t pay any attention as the teacher discussed. Others were texting in the middle of the lesson, and others were not wearing foot socks and proper uniforms. I began to worry on how I will manage the class by next week onwards. After one hour of teaching with couple of minutes scolding, Mrs. Noceda, my cooperating teacher, and I went to Grade 10- Amugis, our next class. The way I looked at it, it was better. Most of them participated in the discussion. I also appreciated the way they had tried their best in expressing themselves using English language. That was the last section for the day. I spent my couple of hours talking with Mrs. Venus P. Noceda, asking about her experiences being a teacher. She told me a lot of encouragements to boost my motivation in teaching even though I didn’t know what will be the end result of my one hour class. She reminded me that every teacher has his or her failures and weaknesses, but there were always a lot of rooms for improvement. I was touched because it seemed that she understands me, being a practice teacher.

This was just an ordinary day for me. Aside from coming at school early, Mrs. Venus just gave a group activity to her three classes after grouping each into three. Each one hour was spent in

It was so great that they understood the different mathematical processes involved in the problem though these were not discussed to them. Truly, in K + 12, they would be the ones who would discover the processes. In that case, the teacher had his or her less effort in discussing or elaborating the lesson. However, the weak point, as I saw it, was that students who failed to involve themselves in the activity also failed to understand the lesson of course. The subject mathematics is complicated. Every lesson is related to the first ones. Meaning, the basics should be mastered in order to understand the deeper topics of it. If the case is this: students who don’t have that much interests in Mathematics chose not to study it, how will they understand the next following more complex
