Students Behavior

      In my 20hrs of observation I see a little bit of improvement of the students behavior, because on my first day of observation the students are very noisy and not listening to the teacher's discussion and I think it is because the the classroom setting, because I have noticed that in one (1) classroom there are two (2) sections the big group and small group, so that the students can't focus or concentrate while their teacher is discussing. 

       After a few days my resource teacher decided to go to the library during discussion so that the student will listen and can focus to the discussion. In a few days I have noticed that the students behavior are improving in a way that while the teacher is discussing the students are listening quietly to the their teacher, but sometimes I can still see some students who are chatting with their classmates and not listening to the teacher.

Teacher as a Role Model of Values

         Teachers are like actors and actresses because they are the one that students look up too, that's why as a teacher you should be a good role model to your students, not only in the classroom but also outside the school.

         In my observation, I saw my cooperating teacher how she discipline her students and how she teach her students a proper values. She teach her students a values in a simple way like when  you want to borrow something you have to ask permission first to the owner, and by saying po and opo to the teachers, parents, and to the elderly.

Discipline and Procedure

PGN-104

        As we watched the part III of "The Effective Teacher" by Harry Wong, Dr. Wong discussed about the discipline and procedures, and he talks about the differences of discipline and classroom management, wherein discipline is how we want our students behave in the class while the classroom management is how the teacher manage the students behavior. 

       Teaching our students a proper discipline is very important, but it's very hard to teach, because as a future teacher we should have a lot of patience in dealing with the behavior of our students, that's why we should set rules inside the classroom, because it shows how the students needs to behave inside the class. We can also use rewards in disciplining our students like when they follow the rules or if they behave properly in the class they will get a reward through it. to become a effective teacher to our students, I think we should build harmonious relationships to our students, because based on my experience if the students have a good relationships to the teacher, it will be easier for the teacher to discipline the students.

         In Hand Prints School of Progressive Education they implement the law of child protection policy wherein they really protect the rights of every students, like the student's records because we all know that the records of the students are very confidential especially the records of students with special needs, such as medical records, Individualized Educational Plan (IEP), and etc. Aside from the confidentiality of the records, Hand Prints School also have a security guards and CCTV camera  to secure the safety of every students inside the school or classrooms.

       Teachers in Hand Prints School also promote the rights of every students in a way that the teachers gives an equal opportunity for all the students to learn and to develop, and  by accommodating the individual needs of their students. They also give the proper care for all the students with the help of the teacher aid to make sure that they are comfortable inside the classroom. 

Teaching Philosophy

           Every teacher has his/her own beliefs when it comes in teaching. Teachers themselves can identify their own teaching style based on their philosophy because of their beliefs that defines how they teach and manage the class.

               
           Teacher Aiza believe in the theory of learning by doing, because for her it will be more effective if the students will have their experience or if they are the one who had the first hand experience, and it will be more effective if the students will manipulate objects instead of just listening from their teacher. 

          Teacher Aiza also believe with the progressivism approach, wherein the learning of the students will become more meaningful if the student is holistically ready, because we cannot force the student to learn if they are not yet ready or if the lessons are not appropriate for them.
