The Teacher We Remember
 Notice
1. Take note of the following:
 your Resource Teacher comments, facial expressions, gestures and actions in class
 students' comments, facial expressions, gestures and behavior in class
 how your Resource Teacher relates to you
 the classroom proceedings
 the classroom atmosphere - relaxed or threatening?

 ANALYZE

1. From the PPSTs, the Southeast Asia Teachers Competency Standards and the TEDx videos that you
viewed, what competencies does a great teacher possess?
 To excel as a teacher, one must embody professional standards, inherent qualities, and essential
competencies. This includes understanding teacher practice domains, navigating career stages,
and continually developing expertise. However, what truly sets a great teacher apart are their
personal traits and character, evident in their interactions with learners. Effective teaching
requires a willingness to learn from and connect with students, fostering a meaningful impact.

2. Are these competencies limited only to professional competencies?

 No, because effective teaching encompasses more than just professional skills. It requires
personal qualities, hands-on experience, and continuous learning along the journey.

3. For a teacher to be great, is it enough to possess the professional competencies to plan a lesson, execute
a lesson plan, manage a class, assess learning, compute and report grades? Explain your answer.
 No, because professional competency is essential but insufficient for greatness in teaching.
Additional competencies, as outlined in frameworks like Southeast Asia's PPST, and vital
personal character traits often overlooked in human development, are equally crucial.

4. For a teacher to be great, which is more important personal qualities or professional competencies?
 Both personal qualities and professional competencies are crucial for a great teacher. Here's a
balanced view first you need Personal Qualities (Soft Skills) such as Empathy and compassion
also you need to be Creative and resourceful. Also it includes Professional Competencies such
as Subject matter expertise,lesson planning and delivery and also having a Classroom
management. Ideally, a great teacher balances both. Strong personal qualities foster positive
relationships and inclusive learning environments. Robust professional competencies ensure
high-quality instruction and academic rigor. Developing both aspects enables teachers to
Connect with students.

5. Who are the teachers that we remember most?

 We remember teachers who:
1. Inspired us to learn and explore
2. Believed in us and boosted our confidence
3. Challenged us to grow and improve
1
 4. Showed genuine care and empathy
5. Made learning fun and engaging
 REFLECT

1. Which personal traits do I possess? Not possess? Where do I need improvement in?
 As an educator, I'm committed to ongoing self-improvement. I aspire to develop and refine
essential personal traits, enhancing my skills, potential, and capabilities. Through continuous
learning and self-reflection, I aim to become the best version of myself, excelling as a
facilitator of learning and making a positive impact on my students.

2. Which professional competencies am I strongly capable of demonstrating?

 My FS 2 experience has enabled me to grow from novice to proficient in teaching essentials,
preparing me to excel as a teaching assistant. Also i've achieved proficiency in teaching
competencies like instructional delivery, assessment, and classroom management, readying me
for my teaching assistantship.

3. In which competencies do I need to develop more?

 I wanted to focus on the 7 domains to more specific dimensions of teacher practice. The
content knowledge and pedagogy, learning environment, diversity of learners, curriculum and
planning, assessment and reporting, community linkages and professional engagement and the
personal growth and personal development.

4. Who are the teachers that we remember most?

 The teacher that I remember the most is my Specialization teacher in MAPEH way back my
high school days. I remember her word of wisdom to encourage us the importance of finishing
our study. The inspiring stories that she shared to us on her teaching journey and the sacrifices
she overcome that leads on her success she is right now. All of these inspired me to not fear the
struggles in life rather feel and experience because this will brings lesson and realization for us
to grow.

LEAENING EPISODE 4
Matching Problematic Learning Situation with Probable Action

 NOTICE
What have you noticed of the problem identified above? Can there be more than one solution to the
problem? Explain:
 Upon analyzing the problematic learning situation, I've noticed that it's often characterized by Gaps
in understanding, inadequate study habits, and insufficient resources. Lack of engagement,
motivation, and clear [Link] teaching methods, inadequate feedback, and poor classroom
environment. Notably, these issues are interconnected and can exacerbate one another. Fortunately,
there's no single solution, but rather a range of probable actions, including Differentiated instruction
and personalized learning, Supplemental resources, tutoring, and mentoring and strategic goal-setting,
progress monitoring, and feedback. By acknowledging the complexity of learning challenges and
exploring diverse solutions, educators can develop effective strategies to address individual needs,
promote academic success, and foster a love of learning.
 ANALYZE
Let us try to look into the following scenarios in the daily life of a teacher. This scenario might also be
similar to the class you have observed and noticed.
Scenario A:

Miss Fely is a grade four teacher in a typical elementary school. She has forty learners in her class.
One half of them cannot classify animals into vertebrates and invertebrates. She has been repeating the same
science lesson for two weeks, yet no progress was observed. This situation has been bothering Miss Fely.

1. Can you identify, Miss Fely's problem?

 Look like miss fely is having a problem with the students who can't understand the topic that she
was discussing.
2. Can you find a solution to solve her problem? Give your two suggestions.
a. Solution 1: Differentiated Instruction and Hands-on Activities*
 Assess students' prior knowledge and understanding.
b. Solution 2: Inquiry-Based Learning and Real-World Connections*
 Spark curiosity:
- Show images or videos of diverse animals
- Ask open-ended questions (e.g., "What do you notice about this animal?").
3. What solution can solve Miss Fely's problem?
 Miss Fely's challenge can be addressed through a combination of differentiated instruction and
inquiry-based learning. By dividing her students into smaller groups based on learning needs, she
can provide tailored guidance and support. Engaging, hands-on activities such as sorting games,
simple experiments, and multimedia resources can help students visualize and internalize the
concepts of vertebrates and invertebrates.
4. How?
14
  Miss Fely can implement the following steps to address her concern:
 She can assess her students' prior knowledge and understanding of vertebrates and invertebrates.
Then, she can divide the class into smaller groups based on learning needs, providing targeted
guidance and support. Engaging activities like sorting games, experiments, and multimedia
resources can help students visualize and internalize concepts.
5. Are they matched with the problem?
 Yes, the proposed solutions match the problem. Miss Fely's issue is:
- Half of her grade 4 students can't classify animals into vertebrates and invertebrates.
- Repeating the lesson for two weeks hasn't shown progress.
By implementing these solutions, Miss Fely can improve her students' understanding and address the
problem.

Scenario B:

Sir Ryan teaches in a disadvantaged urban community. Most of his learners come from families
that are disrupted, either with single parents or with their guardians who stand only as parents. They are
deprived of the necessary food, clothing and shelter.

1. Can you identify the most probable teaching-learning problem/s in the class of Sir Ryan?
a) The most probable issues include:
 Emotional and psychological barriers: Students' unstable home environments, neglect, and
deprivation may lead to emotional distress, anxiety, and decreased motivation.
b) Limited access to basic needs: Hunger, inadequate clothing, and insufficient shelter can impact
concentration, attention span, and overall well-being.

2. Can you propose a solution to solve one of the problems that you have identified?
To address the emotional and psychological barriers in Sir Ryan's class, I propose implementing
Trauma-Informed Teaching and Emotional Support. This approach creates a safe, supportive
learning environment, helping students cope with emotional distress. By establishing trust through
positive relationships, active listening, and empathy, Sir Ryan can foster a sense of security.
Designating a calm area for emotional regulation, integrating mindfulness practices, and providing
referral services can further support students' well-being.
Regular emotional check-ins, flexibility in instruction, and positive reinforcement can help students
build resilienceThis solution aims to improve emotional regulation, increase student engagement,
enhance academic performance, strengthen teacher-student relationships, and support overall well-
being. By adopting Trauma-Informed Teaching and Emotional Support, Sir Ryan can create a
nurturing environment that addresses the emotional and psychological barriers hindering his students'
learning.

 REFLECT
After reading the two scenarios given above, how would identifying problematic situations and
finding solutions to these problems help you to become a better teacher?
Explain:

15
Identifying problematic situations and finding solutions helps me become a better teacher by enabling me to
address specific student needs, foster inclusive learning environments, and adapt instruction to promote
academic success. By recognizing challenges like emotional barriers, learning gaps, and resource limitations,
I can develop targeted strategies to support diverse learners. This proactive approach allows me to Create
personalized learning plans, Build strong relationships with students and guardians and Integrate innovative
teaching methods and technologies. By embracing problem-solving and critical thinking, I can transform
challenges into opportunities for growth, ultimately enhancing student outcomes and my own professional
development as a compassionate, effective educator.

collected through observations, parent-teacher surveys and student interviews. Results indicate a significant
reduction in separation anxiety symptoms, improved emotional regulation and enhanced academic
engagement among participants. The study highlights the potential of comfort objects as a practical and
effective strategy for supporting kindergarten students struggling with separation anxiety, informing
implications for educators, parents and policymakers.

IV. Identify the Problem in the Study

Separation anxiety affects many kindergarten students, causing distress and hindering academic performance.
Current coping mechanisms often fall short, prompting the need for evidence-based solutions. This study
aims to investigate the effectiveness of comfort objects in alleviating separation anxiety among kindergarten
students. The research problem is: "To what extent do comfort objects reduce separation anxiety symptoms in
kindergarten students, and what factors influence their effectiveness?

V. Identify the Action Taken in the Study

This study employed a quasi-experimental design. Researchers selected 60 kindergarten students
experiencing separation anxiety, dividing them into control (n=30) and experimental (n=30) groups. The
experimental group received comfort objects (e.g., stuffed animals, blankets) and guidance on usage.
Teachers and parents were trained to support consistency. Pre- and post-test anxiety assessments (e.g., SAAS-
R) evaluated effectiveness. Data analysis compared anxiety levels between groups, identifying significant
17
reductions in separation anxiety symptoms among students using comfort objects.

Preparing the Learning Environment; An Overview

 PARTICIPATE AND ASSIST

What will you do to assist your mentor in setting up a conducive learning environment in the following
conditions:
1. Bulletin Board Display
Calm and Connected This display aims to alleviate separation anxiety by providing visual reminders, coping
strategies and reassurance. Calming visuals such as ocean waves, peaceful gardens or sunny skies to create a
soothing atmosphere.
2. Small Group Discussion
For students experiencing separation anxiety, consider small group discussions focused on emotional
support and coping strategies
1. *Feelings Sharing*: Encourage students to express emotions related to separation anxiety.
2. *Coping Mechanisms*: Explore effective strategies, such as deep breathing, visualization or positive
self-talk.
3. *Goodbye Rituals*: Discuss comforting routines for separation, like hugs, kisses or secret
handshakes.
4. *Support Systems*: Identify trusted individuals, like teachers, family members or friends.
3. Checking class attendance in a virtual classroom (i.e. google meet or zoom)
As assistant I will do the following to help my mentor to create a good environment for a teacher and student
interaction.
• Ensure that your room is conducive to learning.
Choose a bright and open space that can inspire and encourage you to accomplish what you need. Choose a
quiet place to work without distractions from things like family, friends, TV, and computer games.
• Learn good time management skills.
If you are taking an online course, it is especially important to learn good time management skills. You will
not have the support of a face-to-face classroom to help you remember.
• Complete the course requirements as outlined by your instructor in the course Syllabus.
Ensure that you understand course policies, responsibilities, grading system, and assigned projects. Make
sure that you are able to complete every designated project and assignment on time
 NOTICE
Learning Environment 1:

What have you noticed of the display in the class bulletin board? What message or theme does it sit convey?
Their Bulletin board convey the students to be aware of their activities and for the teacher it is a reminder tool
for them to remember ex: meetings, activities, holidays and etc.

•What makes it attractive to the learners?

I think the color and design makes it attractive in the eyes of the students and their design that had been used
suites for kids too.

Does it help in the learning process? How?

Yes
By creating a bulletin board with a reminders to students and a good design it can help the students to
remember bunch of stuff that they need to do. So it can increase the awareness of the student to their
activities and it can have a good feedback for those students to their grades.

Learning Environment 2:
If the teacher is using a distance delivery of learning through the modules, where is
Most likely their learning space is at their home because it is the most comfortable learning space that they
can have other than the school while doing their online classes.

• Can you describe?

Answer:
Try to put your look a quiet, organized, and distraction-free area where they can focus on their school work
and nothing else. If you have a home office or a spare bedroom, that's perfect. Because a learning space
should be quiet.

• How can you as a teacher help to make such environment conducive for learning?
Answer:
Address Student Needs
Remember that students, like adults, have not only physical needs but also important psychological needs for
security and order, love and belonging, personal power and competence, freedom and novelty, and fun.
Create a Sense of Order
All students need structure and want to know that their teacher not only knows his
content area, but also knows how to manage his classroom

 ANALYZE
The examples above, describe two contrasting situations. The first shows that the learners are in the
same room or space while in the second, the learners maybe in different learning spaces like homes, study
hubs or in extreme cases parks or under the trees.
As a teacher, in which of the two situations would you prefer to manage for learning? Choose
between Learning Environment 1 or Learning Environment 2.
Explain your choice: Why?
 As a teacher I prefer the learning environment 1 because on this particular scenario we can easily
access and interact with our students and we can also see their needs right away in much fastest way.
And we can also observe them more entertain of their question much longer and make things clarify.

1. OBSERVE
What probable problem may result from the two situations of the learning environment?
✓I think that the issue is how confident the teacher is that his or herstudents will learn using these two
learning environments.
2. REFLECT
What solutions can I think of to solve the problem?
✓Always keep an eye on each student's problems and growth. Ensure that the students pass the exercise
every quarter todemonstrate that they completed the work. To do so, you mustinform students that they must
also reflect on how well they aredoing and their plans for a nice and healthy environment.
3. PLAN
How should I do it?

 WORK ON MY ARTIFACTS
In not less than 300 words, write an essay on the topic:

"My Conducive Learning Environment"

A conducive learning environment plays a crucial role in shaping an individual's educational journey. It
encompasses various factors that contribute to effective learning and personal growth. In this essay, I will
discuss the key elements that make up my ideal conducive learning environment.
First and foremost, a quiet and peaceful atmosphere is essential for concentration and focus. Distractions can
hinder the learning process and impede understanding. Therefore, I prefer a calm environment free from
unnecessary noise and disruptions. This allows me to fully engage with the material and absorb information
effectively.
Secondly, a well-equipped and organized study space is vital for productivity. Having access to necessary
resources such as textbooks, reference materials, and technology enhances the learning experience.
Additionally, a tidy and clutter-free workspace promotes a sense of order and reduces mental distractions.
Furthermore, a supportive and encouraging community is crucial for motivation and growth. Interacting with
like-minded individuals who share similar goals and interests fosters a positive learning environment.
20
Collaborative discussions, group projects, and peer feedback provide opportunities for diverse perspectives
and constructive criticism, leading to a deeper understanding of the subject matter.
In addition to the physical environment, the emotional and mental well-being of an individual greatly impacts
their learning experience. Feeling safe, valued, and respected creates a sense of belonging and encourages
active participation. Teachers and mentors who are approachable and supportive play a significant role in
creating a conducive learning environment. Their guidance and encouragement instill confidence and inspire
students to reach their full potential.
Moreover, incorporating interactive and engaging teaching methods enhances the learning process. Utilizing
multimedia resources, hands-on activities, and real-life examples make the content more relatable and
memorable. This stimulates curiosity and critical thinking, fostering a deeper understanding of the subject
matter.
Lastly, a conducive learning environment should promote a healthy work-life balance. Allowing time for
relaxation, physical exercise, and pursuing hobbies is essential for overall well-being. Taking breaks and
engaging in activities unrelated to academics rejuvenates the mind and prevents burnout.
In conclusion, a conducive learning environment encompasses various elements that contribute to effective
learning and personal growth. A quiet and peaceful atmosphere, well-equipped study space, supportive
community, emotional well-being, interactive teaching methods, and a healthy work-life balance are all
essential components. By creating such an environment, individuals can maximize their learning potential
and achieve academic success.

PORTFOLIO ENTRY
Title: The Face-to-Face Learning Environment

Describe the physical environment:

The physical environment refers to the overall design and layout of a given classroom and its learning
centers. Teachers should organize the space, furnishings and materials in the classroom to maximize learning
opportunities and engagement for all students. To de so effectively, teachers can use the Universal Design for
23
Leaming concept, which comphasizes that the environment and the materials contained within it should be
accesible to all. Making this accessibility possible may entail providing books at yarious reading levels,
placing materials on a shelf, within casy reach of providing enough space for a wheelchair-uxing child to
move around the classrusom

Describe the psychological environment:

The psychological environment is without a doubt the most difficult and one-sided in nature. Teachers
express their attitudes, excitement, values, and principles within the psychological environment. When they
begin theit educational journey, mint students expect to be encouraged and aniated in their learning. The
psychological environment in the classroom promotes the exchange of ideas, opinions, and attitudes, as well
as the asking of questions and the investigation of concerns

Describe the social environment:

The term social environment refers to how a classroom's environment influences or supports interactions
between young children, teachers, and family members. A well-designed social environment encourages
positive interactions between adults and children and allows adults to help children achieve their social gouls.
Teachers must plan activities that take the following factors into account in order to create a classroom
environment that promotes positive social interactions,

Learning Episode 7: Making On-Line or Virtual Learning Environment Safe and conducive
NOTICE
As a teacher, what have you discovered to be easy to implement in your virtual class? Before the beginning
of class, make sure your technology is up to date.
✓Educators should also be aware of common technological challenges that they or their students may face
while learning online, such as microphones that don't function or embedded movies that don't play in
presentations. This is especially necessary now because many IT departments are overburdened with more
urgent requests and larger issues as a result of the widespread distribution of schools. It's a good idea for
teachers to test any devices or platforms they'll be using with video and audio. Before live streaming or
filming their lessons, they should think about doing a run-through. These actions can help employees feel
more prepared and prepared throughout the day by reducing the amount of troubleshooting they have to
undertake.
How did the students show their active participation in the lesson?
✓There are students who always raise their hand to participate and those who are cautious to do so in every
classroom. It can be difficult to engage kids into talks who are reluctant to lend their voices, whether they
are introverted, consider for a long time before contributing, or are simply having a terrible day.

 ANALYZE
Which of the following is/are your analysis/analyses of on-line learning environment? Check one or more.
✓It was difficult to observe the physical behavior of the students.
✓ It takes time for students to learn how to use the platform.
✓Students who are alone in their home space find difficulty to make responses.
✓ Internet connectivity is a great factor to support a conducive environment.

24
 REFLECT
As a future teacher I feel that on-line learning environment can be safe if The instructor employs appropriate
innovation. We knew it was critical to define online security for students so they know what to avoid and
report when doing classwork online. This understanding equips students with the knowledge and skills they
will need to develop secure online habits in the future. It also teaches students how to use the internet
responsibly and ethically, which can help them stay safe even when they are not doing schoolwork. This is,
in my opinion, instructive.
I think that teaching in a virtual learning environment
Will be interesting and exciting for me because I will be able to present my lessons using a variety of
software apps and online tools. On the other hand, 1 believe virtual teaching is complicated because I only
have a basic understanding of how to use digital learning platforms. As a result. I'll have to go to webinars
or seminars to learn how to use those apps.

 OBSERVE
Identify the problems brought about by the on-line learning environment
Social Isolation.
Limited access to technology.
Individuals who are computer illiterate are unable to access the system.

 REFLECT
How would you solve this problem?
This problem could be solved in the classroom by implementing a strong innovation integration strategy.
When implementing learning innovation, I was aware that there are factors beyond the instructors' control,
External challenges must be addressed at the organizational level, and most changes are ongoing The access
restriction refers to problems caused by a lack of hardware or a network. Implementing instructional
innovation is only possible if a teacher's school has adequate resources and a fast internet connection.
During this time of crisis, the government must assist our students in coping, I agree that no one should be
denied education, even if we are in an emergency, because children are our hope for a better future.

 PLAN
What initial plan do you intend to do to solve the problem?
According to experts, the most important thing is to stay in touch with teachers and keep them up to date on
what's going on. They should be understanding and accommodating of the situation, even recording course
sessions as a backup. Encourage students to do their best and avoid distractions; try to stay away from
anything that could interfere with your learning. There are various stages at which you can engage and
communicate with you. To avoid missing live lectures or sessions, make sure to plan breaks and stick to
your learning schedule Furthermore, all you may need at home is a high-speed internet connection. Keep in
mind where you can get assistance from your organization, as well as any specialized issues with software
and devices for compelling learning Students should have access to support devizes that can help them
25
investigate specialized issues via phone, mail, or live chat. You should keep your instructor ja mind
throughout the problem-solving process.

Teacher-Student Relationship

In order to maintain positive relationships with my students, I will treat them fairly and with respect. I'll
teach them to be morally upright and to respect others. I find that using positive words when interacting is
more effective. Ill teach them both how to speak and how to listen. I'll remind them that I'm their teacher and
they're my students, so they must keep me informed of any developments
Schedule Timeframes

In terms of time and scheduling, I will organize my class schedule based on what my co-teachers and I
agreed upon. I should always consider my coworkers and students' perspectives. I will make every part of
my lesson interesting and interactive in order to keep my students attention on the task at hand. I should
always draw the attention of all of my students, even those in the back. I should also take into account their
emotions and circumstances
Classroom Structure, design and Arrangements

I will provide materials that will aid in the growth and development of my students in order to create a
conducive learning environment in my classroom. I'll also include some technology that we'll use in class on
a daily basis. Furthermore, in my classroom, I will eliminate anything that can cause distractions and stress,
Classroom, Safety, Rules and Procedures

To ensure the safety and security of my students, I will provide a medicine cabinet in case something goes
wrong. Aside from that. I should get rid of anything that could be dangerous, such as knives, chemicals, or
anything else. For security reasons, the classroom should have two doors and a fire extinguisher. I will
impose rules such as requiring students to notify me or a security guard if they have any concerns, posting a
cellphone number in case of an emergency, and prohibiting students from leaving campus during class hours
to ensure their safety,
Strategies for Rewards and Consequences

32
I intend to impose class rules and procedures that will hold students accountable for their actions, and I
believe that students will comply if sanctions and rewards are attached to each rule.

1. What saficat component have you noted?

Lnoticed that as teachers, we should always be aware of each student's neesis. In order for students to learn
and reflect, we must always consider their level of comfort. This episode will focus on classroom routines
and procedures.

2. Why is there need to utilize the information to create your classroom management plan?

I believe there is a need to use the information to create my Classroom management plan because having
different options for what rules and procedures are more effective for students will help me as a teacher to
have an effective classroom management plan for diverse students,

3. What were the significant things that you noticed when you were implementing your plan?

The most important thing I've discovered while putting my plan into action is that planning is the key to
having a well-managed and organized classroom. The Classroom Management Plan assists students in
focusing on learning and understanding what is expected of them. One of the primary goals of this plan is to

4. Were there items in your classroom/remote learning management plan which were not tailored to the
needs of your students? How will you improve on this? No, and I believe that in order to improve, 1 should
focus on the items that they will use rather than those that will only be displayed in the classroom.

 ANALYZE
1. What elements in your classroom/remote learning management plan were mostly followed/complied?
The cleanliness of the classroom and the students' moral character were mostly followed, respecting teachers
and students, using positive language, and so on.

✓I understand the importance of having a classroom management strategy. It not suly reminds students of
their school responsibilities, but it also assists in the development of the student's mind in order for the
student to have a good moral character. Because there are no distractions, it also helps my students focus on
their studies.

MY CLASSROOM/REMOTE PLAN
Philosophical Statement
I will create a safe, enjoyable, and cooperative learning environment.
Discipline will be applied as soon as possible and as necessary. Every student in my class will begin each
day with a clean slate. Each student will get the [Link] they need to succeed,
Classroom Rules and Procedures
To ensure the discipline of my students, I will establish classroom rules and procedures such as:
 Show your teacher respect and pay attention to what he or she is saying,
 Be considerate of your classmates,
 Be prepared for class,
 Raise your hand to speak if you want to
 Remain silent when your teacher speaks.
 Share new concepts
 Maintain a clean classroom at all times.
 Stick to the seating arrangement Use positive language,
 Remain alert at all times.
34
  Take part in the discussions Obey all school regulations.
 Be on time.
 Finish your homework on time
 Tell the truth.
Teacher- Student Relationship
In order to maintain positive relationships with my students, I will treat them fairly and with respect. I'll
teach them to be morally upright and to respect others. I find that using positive words when interacting is
more effective. I'll teach them both how to speak and how to listen, I'll remind them that I'm their teacher
and they're my students, so they must keep me informed of any developments.
Schedule Timeframes
In terms of time and scheduling, I will organize my class schedule based on what my co-teachers and I
agreed upon, I should always consider my coworkers and students' perspectives. I will make every part of
my lesson interesting and interactive in order to keep my students' attention on the task at hand. I should
always draw the attention of all of my students, even those in the back, I should also take into account theip-
emotions and circumstances.
Classroom Structure, design and Arrangements
will provide materials that will aid in the growth and development of my students in order to create a
conducive learning environment in my classroom I'll also include some technology that we'll use in class on
a daily basis Furthermore, in my classroom, I will eliminate anything that can cause distractions and stress.

Classroom, Safety, Rules and Procedures

To ensure the safety and security of my students, I will provide a medicine cabinet in case something goes
wrong. Aside from that, I should get rid of anything that could be dangerous, such as knives, chemicals, or
anything else. For security reasons, the classroom should have two doors and a fire extinguisher. I will
impose rules such as requiring students to notify me or a security guard if they have any concerns, posting a
cellphone number in case of an emergency, and prohibiting students from leaving campus during class hours
to ensure their safety,
Strategies for Rewards and Consequences
L intend to impose class rules and procedures that will hold students accountable for their actions, and I
believe that students will comply if sanctions and rewards are attached to each rule

NOTICE
After reading and reviewing the classroom/remote learning management plan from different sources and
creating your own plan, answer the following questions.

1. What salient components have you noted?

Classroom management, in my opinion, is a critical component in any educational setting. I am convinced.
When pupils are in a sales setting, they can learn. This isn't correct. Not always imply reprimanding bad
behavior, but rather a mix of setting the tone in the first place. A class, using fascinating and engaging
cubicula to prevent behavior problems and effectively involving all kids in the classroom in order to meet
their requirements. Possessing the appropriate skills My main goal in developing good classroom
35
management is to provide a learning environment for all students. Without it, students would be unable to
study.

ANALYZE

1. What elements in your classroom/remote learning management plan were mostly followed/ complied with?
Schedules and deadlines are crucial to me since it is imperative that I adhere to them. Routine or a school
schedule can also help to reduce bad behavior in the classroom. Help a child grasp what is expected to
happen next, as well as learning involvement. Children benefit from a predictable day with a constant daily
plan and step-by-step routines.

2. What elements in your plan were the most difficult to implement? Why?
As I previously stated, the issue is the teacher-student relationship because there is a lack of communication
between them. Are continuously saying that you can't please everyone and asking your students to help you
or work with you their fellow students Perhaps there is a subset of pupils who prefer to be alone. All the
time, I was mute.

REFLECT
What were your realizations after creating and implementing your classroom/ remote learning management
plan?

As I previously indicated, I feel that classroom management is the most important factor in creating a
positive learning environment. Where kids feel safe participating and learning may take place I want to
make something special. A learning atmosphere in which all of my students are involved The most
important aspect of classroom management, in my opinion, is not dealing with behavior issues, but rather
establishing a positive learning environment. Establishing a rapport with the pupils, motivating them to
achieve, and setting high goals for them You may create this environment in addition to having an appealing
curriculum. It will also keep your classroom's behavior problems to a minimum from the beginning.

1. What factors did you consider in writing your lesson/learning plans?

When developing my lesson/learning plan, I kept my learners ages in mind to ensure that the language and
activities I used are appropriate for them. I'm also thinking about incorporating different activities into
performance tasks, because I want my students to be able to express what they've learned in class. I want
to make my lessons more engaging and exciting so that my students are motivated to learn.

2. What difficulties did you meet in writing your lesson/learning plans?

I'm having trouble imagining how I'll present the lesson and what activities I'll present because having
typoon we need to stay at home and do module at home. Because I'm unfamiliar with how to make online
lessons engaging. I'm having difficulty deciding on specific strategies to implement

3. What feedback was/were given by your Resource Teacher in your first draft lesson/ learning plans?

My resource teacher was unable to review my draft lesson plan due to a lack of time and a hectic schedule.
But she's ecstatic that I passed the semi-in-depth lesson. I'm also confident that my learning strategy can
be improved

4. What were the best features/areas for improvement of your lesson learning plans?

In my opinion, the best part of my lesson is when I allow students to write letter A in a variety of ways,
such as drawing . I believe it has the potential to promote learning because students will collaborate to

39
 explore and discover things on their own. Meanwhile, one aspect of my lesson that I can improve is the
manner in which I will present the lessons. I need to improve my teaching strategy to avoid boredom,

41
for this lesson? strategies:
Quizizz because it is well- known for its free
gamified quizzes and interactive lessons, which can
captivate any learner. Video presentations because it
helps students learn all subjects, but especially those
that are complex and/or highly visual, such as step-
by-step procedures, problem-solving. and math
formulas.

Group activities because it can be an effective means

of motivating students, encouraging active learning,
and developing critical-thinking, communication,
and decision-making abilities.

Why is lesson planning an integral part of the instructional cycle?

Lesson planning is an important part of the instructional cycle because it enables teachers to plan ahead of
time what they want their students to learn, what teaching and learning activities they will use, and how
they will assess understanding. It also allows teachers to focus on what they need for their lesson, what
they want to teach, and it establishes a time frame for what must be completed.

 OBSERVE

1. The problems challenges encountered in writing my learning lesson plans arose as 1 considered how I
would present the lesson and what learning resources I would employ I was having trouble coming up
with instructional strategies and learning resources that would not bore or disengage the students because
the class will be held online. It was difficult to incorporate appropriate learning resources that would meet
the students individual needs.

 REFLECT

2. I hope to achieve to address these problems and challenges by interviewing some teachers about the
instructional strategies and learning resources they used in their online classes. In addition, I plan to attend
webinars about various instructional strategies and learning resources that I can use in my classroom. This
will provide me with knowledge of additional strategies or techniques that will improve the learning
experience of my class.

43
 PLAN
3. Some strategies/solutions/means that I can employ to improve these situations Problems is I intend to
use the strategies I've included in my lesson plan, particularly the use of video presentations, when
discussing my lesson, I'll begin by administering a protest using the discussion method of teaching the
lesson on how to write Letter A and how to use the sound of letter A , and then I'll implement this strategy.
Following that, I'll give students a post-test to see if their performance has improved.

Notice
Using Robert Gagne's Events of Instruction, what did you notice in the following segments of learning:

How did the students react to the activities/various elements to arouse their interest?
✓Students reacted differently to the activities and various instructions. There were students who prefer
learning games to lectures. There were some students who asked questions and actively participated
through sharing their ideas and insights. Of course, there were some students who were shy and prefer
group and pair activities.

Were the students focused when you were stating the learning objectives at the beginning of the lesson?
✓Yes, students were all listening attentively because I already caught their attention at the beginning of
the lesson. I have prepared presentation and they were able to read the objectives clearly while explaining
these with them

How did the new learnings relate with what they really know?

✓New learnings can be applied and relate with what they already know. Students can focus on the
relevance of the new knowledge they have gained to the prior knowledge. In this way, learners can
generalize, reflect and self-explain the concepts and ideas they have learned and know. They can also
identify the gaps of their prior learning with the new learnings.

Did you notice some students who needed assistance? What did you do?

✓Yes, there were students who needed assistance that is why I employed pair and group activities. In this
way, students who were shy and not confident to asks questions and share ideas on discussion can do so on
peer teaching and group. tasks.

Did the students find difficulty in applying the theories/concepts learned to real life?

✓Not really, students had the chance to apply what they have learned in composing essay through its
correct structure. As a student teacher, I was able to give students to collaborate and learn from each other
where they can apply. concepts they have learned in real-life such as collaboration and multidisciplinary
team experience. I was also able to develop activities that relate deeper relationships and similar organizing
of ideas.

46
How did your students react to your feedback?

✓Students reacted to my feedback positively, they accepted my opinions and suggestions wholeheartedly
on how they can improve their outputs based from my constructive criticisms.

What pieces of evidence can prove that the students had retention of learning?

✓I was able to know that students had retention of learning because they were able. to compose an essay
using its correct structure through the assignment I have given. They were able to create a good thesis
statement of their essay, although there were some inevitable grammatical errors, at least they know the
parts and elements in writing an essay.

Analyze

✓After planning your lesson you may be requested by your Resource Teacher to deliver the lessons. Your
Resource Teacher will use classroom observation sheet to evaluate the delivery of your lesson. Schools use
different tools in rating classroom/online observations

Reflect

Having implemented several lessons in your Cooperating School under the supervision of your Cooperating
Teacher, in what areas of the lesson do you need to improve?
✓The areas of the lesson that I need to improve is on providing learning guides. I have to improve my
presentation to engage my students on the topic Also, in gaining the attention of the students although I
caught their attention in the beginning, I need to continue this until we finish the discussion. Gaining the
attention of the students will help them increase their focus and prevent their disruptive behavior. In that
way, I can easily employ my instructional strategies and learning management plan, distractions can also
reduce.

Parts/Components of an Essay
An essay is a piece of writing that is written to provide
information about a certain topic or simply to convince
the reader. In every effective essay writing, there are
three major parts introduction, body, and essay
conclusion.
The Introduction. This is where the subject or topic is
introduced. The big picture, points, and ideas are briefly
written here. The body. All the main ideas

50
topics, and subject are discussed here in details. This
also includes evidence or information that support the
essay.
The conclusion. The last part of an essay and usually
summarizes the overall topic or ideas of an essay.

Okay, this is the hamburger method to easily remember

the parts of an essay. That is the reason why I also ask
you a question about hamburger. Is it clear?

Yes maam
How to Write the Introduction Essay?

The introduction is the door to the whole essay outline.

It must be convincing enough to get the attention of the
readers. The following are the guidelines for writing the
introduction of the essay.
It must contain an attention-getter sentence or
statement.
The introduction must sound interesting to capture the
attention of the reader.
You can quote a statement about a topic something
related to the whole point of your essay.
The intro must move from general to specific.
At the end, there must be a thesis statement that gives
an insight to the author's evidence.
