In our Practice Teaching, we experienced everything a professional teacher goes through, including lesson planning, lesson review, completing out forms, and dealing with students of various personalities and abilities. Also, in my experience, I have been lucky to have had the assistance and mentorship of my Coordinating Teacher, Sir Sandro Dalida. I admit that it was challenging at initially to catch pupils' attention so that I could effectively teach them. Though I am confident in my knowledge of the subject, teaching pupils is a very different story, especially when they are unwilling to listen. That is why presenting a pleasant personality and attitude in class is essential. When teachers perform at their best, students are more likely to listen to them and learn to respect their efforts. Of course, when things get out of hand, teachers should exert themselves so that pupils remember their teachers' authority. Based on the teachers I've spoken with, teachers should keep a space between themselves and their kids since a teacher should not be treated like a barkada. Reflection I felt bothered by the mistakes that I had made in school. My Coordinating Teacher constantly tried to point out and explain my mistakes in a sensitive manner, which I finally adopted into my discussions with students. It was also comforting to hear him say that mistakes are part of the learning process and that I could avoid repeating them in the future. In contrast, another thing I learned from him is that in order to motivate students to do better in class, teachers should applaud every student's good efforts, such as right answers or creative outputs. This experience has led me to the following quote: "Teaching is a noble profession". This is true because teachers need to demonstrate positive characteristics and teach moral values. We must remember that more than anyone else, teachers are judged on their character. Teachers should be the best they can be. Instructional Materials Instructional Materials School Forms
