Processing

A. Based on what you have observed in the class, explain the importance of the different kinds
of knowledge.

1. Content Knowledge
 I saw that the instructor had sufficient subject-matter expertise to ensure that her
students understood the course. The cooperating teacher has prepared for her presentation
by giving her students some information and examples. Knowing the main focus of the
lesson and its supporting points is crucial to the instructor, they have the ability to
develop a student that is eager to learn from them.
2. Pedagogical Knowledge
 To support her argument, she includes some video and pictures, which is great. By
probing her students, she ensures that they are aware of her subject. Additionally, the
teacher might impart her expertise on the subject to the pupil through practice. Because
of this, her lesson featured the pedagogical knowledge. It's crucial because they will
create a democratic learning atmosphere where everyone will have a range of
perspectives.

3. Curricular Knowledge
 She shares in class and is conscious of what she is doing. Everyone can see backup
pictures in the way she speaks. The significance of this curriculum knowledge is that it
will act as a roadmap and compass for the teacher's teaching career. Even if I didn't
notice very much in a short period of time, perhaps the lesson is to only pay attention to
one crucial aspect.

B. What do you think were the strategies used by the teacher to enrich his or her mastery of
subject matter?
 Cooperative learning was used by the teacher to motivate her students to take part in both
wholegroup and small-group discussions. To differentiate education for her students, she also
created tasks based on their abilities. She also incorporated technology so that her students could
use games and activities to complete a variety of tasks. She also employed an interactive
technique that enabled a Q&A session between the teacher and the students.

C. What do you think were the strategies used by the teacher to enrich his or her pedagogical
knowledge?
 Her educational knowledge was aided by the teacher's use of a constructivist approach. She thinks
that by continuously sharing her life experiences with her students, she can encourage them to
relate her lessons to their own experiences and prior learning. She frequently highlights how
respectful and attentive the students are in class. Instead of just listening to what I say, they will
actively engage and participate in class, and I will only serve as a facilitator of learning in our
classroom.

D. What do you think were the strategies used by the teacher to enrich his or her curricular
knowledge?
 She asserts that she employs visualization, highlighting the significance of the topic as well as the
tools and activities that can improve her students' learning experiences. She gave the subject
careful thought in order to present it in a pleasant, understandable, and persuasive way.

Reflection

Complete the following:


1. I realized that:
 In order to effectively communicate the subject matter, teachers must possess the
necessary expertise to improve their lessons' effectiveness, efficiency, and
understandability.
2. I believe that:
4

 In order to develop effective lesson plans, i should investigate additional teaching


methods and gain more knowledge about how to implement the K–12 curriculum
guide. When we start teaching, this will really be unique.
3. I feel that:
 When the time comes for us to teach elementary grades, there will be more
challenges that I will face and encounter because I do believe that failures give us
hope, learning, and the ability to make things right, which I can apply when I'm
already in the field of teaching. I will therefore begin to accept failures moving
forward.
4. When I become a teacher, I will:
 Be more flexible in all facets of instruction. When creating the lesson plan, I will
take the students' prior knowledge into account, and I will work hard to hone my
facilitation skills.
LESSON 2: Research- Based Instruction and principles of Teaching
and Learning

Observation

A. Answer the following question based on you class observation.

1. Does, the school promote research culture among the teacher? How?
 Yes, as we all know, instructors encourage their students to learn about the world through
research. Because of their researchers, they have the chance to spread the word about various
cultures, and as a result, our capacity to adapt our culture will be reflected in the instructors'
ability to reproduce the culture via their study. Additionally, the study they conducted will
provide a method or instrument we may utilize to promote our culture.

2. Do, the teacher undertake research activities to enhance their pedagogical content
knowledge? What are these activities?
 They must since it is our duty as educators to advance pedagogical content knowledge for
future uses. These actions can guarantee that we are committed to our education. Similar to how
we teach, we often do research to learn more about how to modify the learning experience and to
find ways to make it better.

3. Are, the teacher aware of the standards, principles, and pedagogical approach behind K-12
curriculum?
 The teachers know about the rules, beliefs, and teaching methods of the K-12 curriculum
because it is their job to understand it. Because the curriculum is new, they need to spend some
time getting to know it before they can teach it to the students. By comprehending the underlying
principles, they will be equipped with a clear understanding of their instructional objectives and
the content they need to convey.

4. Do, the teacher integrate research findings, empirical evidence and support validity of
content to be taught? How?
 Educators are obligated to integrate research findings, empirical evidence, and theories in
order to substantiate the validity of the content they teach. By incorporating these elements into
their teaching practices, educators can observe the outcomes, whether positive or negative. The
mere act of implementation provides sufficient evidence for educators to align their teaching
methods with the subject matter at hand.

5. Do the teachers use varied teaching approaches based on K-12 curriculum priority? How?
 In the process of educating learners, it is imperative for teachers to employ diverse approaches
in order to gauge their preferences and dislikes. For instance, if learners desire authenticity, the
teacher may utilize a constructivist or learner-centered approach that aligns with their needs. This
approach prioritizes the learners' needs and encourages them to perform at their best, as they are
engaged in a method that resonates with their learning style. Ultimately, this approach facilitates
effective learning outcomes.

C. What are the research- based instructional strategies applied by the cooperating teacher?
Write your answer in the space below.

The cooperative teacher/practice teacher implemented the following strategies in a proficient manner:
1.) They demonstrated a strong ability to acquire relevant knowledge about the students and
effectively utilized this knowledge to inform their course design and classroom teaching. It was evident
that they possessed the capability to share knowledge with the learners, as observed through their
application of instructional strategies.
2.) They successfully aligned the three major components of instruction - learning objectives,
assessment, and instructional activities - within the teaching and learning process of each individual.
The practice teacher displayed thorough preparation and exhibited the ability to effectively share their
knowledge with the learners. Additionally, the cooperative teachers contributed valuable insights on
certain topics that the practice teacher may have overlooked.
As an observer, it was pleasing to witness the learners actively engaged in the instructional
activities. However, it should be noted that their attendance was not consistently high. While the
instructional strategies employed by the practice teacher were effective for the learners, I personally did
not find her teaching style to be particularly appealing.

Processing

Read carefully and answer the following question based on what you observed in the class.

1. How do research- based instructional strategies enrich the pedagogical knowledge of


teachers?
 Research-based instructional strategies enhance teachers' pedagogical content knowledge by
investigating and exploring effective pedagogical strategies for the learning and teaching process.
This provides an opportunity for teachers to collaborate and explore essential elements for
successful teaching. Ultimately, these new instructional strategies will greatly benefit future
educators and contribute to positive educational outcomes.

2. How do research-based instructional strategies affect the students learning?


 The implementation of research-based instructional strategies has a significant impact on
student learning. The efficacy of a given strategy can greatly influence the learners' experience.
Conversely, when a strategy is effective, both the teacher and students benefit. The teacher is
satisfied with the outcome, and the students are more likely to be actively engaged in the learning
process, as they recognize the value of the strategy.
7

3. What are the things that the teachers need to do in order to improve their skills?
 In order to enhance their research skills, teachers should engage in activities such as
exploration, investigation, and discovery. Exploration is crucial as it allows them to familiarize
themselves with the best practices and pitfalls of researchers, enabling them to make informed
decisions. Investigation is essential for creating novel and relevant contributions that align with
future objectives.

Reflection

Complete the following statements.


1. I Realized that:
 Being a teacher entails conducting research to ensure the future success of the learners. It is
crucial for teachers to possess the flexibility necessary to effectively engage with their students
and employ various approaches that cater to their individual needs and desires. The opportunity
for teachers to impart their knowledge to the learners is just as vital as their exploration and
discovery of effective teaching strategies. Consequently, the teaching and learning process
becomes enjoyable and fosters the development of exceptional learners.

2. I believed that:
 Every educator must possess the necessary preparedness to effectively engage in the teaching
and learning process with their students. This level of preparedness is crucial in order to establish
a productive and enjoyable classroom environment. In the current educational landscape, learners
have a strong desire for content that is personally appealing to them, and they are easily
susceptible to various distractions. Therefore, it is imperative for teachers to acknowledge and
address these factors in order to ensure optimal student outcomes.

3. I feel that:
 Conducting research can be a challenging endeavor; however, with your expertise and
proficiency, we have the ability to shape it according to our preferences and disseminate it among
fellow educators. If successful, this endeavor would greatly benefit all individuals, particularly
our co-educators. Researchers play a pivotal role in society, particularly in the context of the 21st
century, where novel curricula and strategies are being implemented. By actively engaging in
research, you will cultivate a sense of independence as an educator, as you will be able to adapt to
changes autonomously.

4. When I become a teacher, I will:


 Conduct research on the future of learners as being a teacher entails both honor and
responsibility. It is imperative for us to generate and uncover novel approaches in order to
provide valuable contributions. This endeavor will greatly benefit the community and fellow
educators. It is noteworthy that the society and the institution you are affiliated with will take
pride in the success of your research.

Processing

Read carefully and answer the following question based on what you have observed in the class.
1. What are the problems or challenges in integrating ICT in teaching and learning?

 I just used what was available because one of the most frequent difficulties we ran into when
integrating ICT into the teaching-learning process was the lack of ICT materials. Second, due to
the limited number of ICT teachers we have, we divided the time so that the ICT teachers could
support all of the teachers leading online classes. Finally, one of the issues we've encountered is the
internet connection, which affects both the teacher and the other students.

2.
What are the challenges encountered by the students in using ICT tools and other form for digital
technology?

Due to the pandemic, students must adjust to the new normal, which is the online class. Of
course, not all students have access to a stable internet, and occasionally they are unable to attend
class due to internet connection issues. This is one of the challenges that students face when using
ICT tools and other digital technologies. Additionally, they sometimes speak in a choppy manner
when they first enter the classroom, making it difficult for them to hear what the teacher is saying.
Additionally, they frequently leave meetings they are attending because of their unstable internet
connection.

3.
In what domains of ICT competency standards for teacher do teacher need improvement? Why?
14

 The teacher should focus on enhancing their ICT competency in domain 1: Understanding ICT
in education. This is because, during the observation, there were instances where the teacher faced
difficulties in applying ICT policies to the learning environment.

4. How will you promote the positive use of ICT to your students?
 In order to improve access to education in the 21st century, I will increase learner motivation and
engagement in ICT use by giving them access to videos, images, charts, and other tools that allow
them to express their original thoughts and foster their ability to use imagination to produce new
things. And as a future teacher, I'll make sure that students are motivated to learn by giving them
original ICT-based strategies. Make learning active for them so they can develop their critical
thinking abilities by reading information online.

Reflection

Complete the following statements:


1. I realized that:
o In order to become a prospective educator, it is imperative to possess technological
proficiency as printed assignments and conventional grade calculations have become less
prevalent due to the prevalence of laptops and computers. To prevent falling behind our
students, who are just starting to explore and employ information and communication
technology (ICT), teachers must demonstrate adaptability and creativity.

2. I believed that:
o By exercising caution and critical thinking before engaging with social media or any
other ICT platform, we could enhance our proficiency as ICT users and reduce our
vulnerability to biased or fabricated news. If we could learn to utilize technology in a
secure manner, there are numerous methods in which it could aid us.

3. I feel that:
o The progress in information and communication technologies has led to the
simplification of various tasks, ranging from students' assignments to instructor
responsibilities. The support of ICT has enabled our world to enhance people's lives by
facilitating job and lifestyle changes, as well as advancements in the education system in
the Philippines. In the current 21st-century learning environment, it is imperative for
both students and teachers to possess computer literacy skills.

4. When I become a teacher, I will:


o Keeping up with the times requires proficiency in utilizing ICT. Nowadays, ICT is
intertwined with various aspects of our lives, including the creation of instructional
materials such as PowerPoint Presentations. Furthermore, being able to connect with
millennial students and incorporating ICT in educational settings is essential for
providing effective ICT-based learning opportunities.

Read carefully and answer the following question based on what you have observed in the class.

1. How can literacy affect one’s life?


 The impact of literacy on an individual's life is particularly significant when it comes to
expressing ideas and initiating communication with others. In the absence of literacy,
misunderstandings are likely to prevail, leading to a state of chaos.
2. How important is numeracy in our daily life?
 The significance of numeracy in our daily routine cannot be overstated as we are
constantly faced with numbers, be it while checking the time, measuring or weighing
things, or recognizing different currencies.
3. How can literacy and numeracy improve the learner’s academic performance?
 Students require both literacy and numeracy skills not only for academic success but also
for practical application in the real world. Literacy enables them to comprehend their
surroundings and effectively express their thoughts and opinions, while numeracy equips
them to handle numerical tasks such as measuring, weighing, telling time, and
recognizing currency.
4. In the absence of digital technologies and printed materials. What do you think are the
strategies you can use to promote literacy and numeracy?
 Utilizing tangible and culturally relevant items within the school premises can serve as
an effective approach to fostering literacy and numeracy in the absence of digital tools
and printed resources. By incorporating these authentic objects, my students can establish
a meaningful connection to the subject matter, as they are already acquainted with the
items present in their immediate surroundings.

Reflection

Complete the following statements


1. I realized that:
o Literacy and numeracy are essential in our everyday lives as they allow us to
communicate effectively and comprehend one another. Additionally, numeracy aids in
17

learning business skills and managing finances. By possessing these abilities, we become
clever and skilled individuals who cannot be surpassed by others.
2. I believed that:
o Having strong literacy and numeracy skills can greatly improve one's chances of finding
a job with good offers, leading to a better quality of life. These abilities give individuals
an advantage over others and increase their likelihood of being selected for a position,
which can have a significant impact on their overall well-being.
3. I feel that: o It is important for primary school students to start building their numeracy and
literacy skills from the first grade. This will help them avoid struggling with math problems and
communication when they reach secondary and higher education. By doing so, students will
improve their individual performance, which is not always the case in today's world.

subject the respect to everyone’s rights and feelings. Teachers also teach respect for differences and hot to
live in a diverse world in their RHGP class.
Department head- As a teacher, for me the most important factor to consider is to utilize appropriate
gender-neutral language. In every instruction and activity that I provide them, I should be sensitive
enough to be mindful of my language (or that vocabulary I use).
Cooperating teacher- For gender-sensitive school. One way among others is to perhaps conduct IEC,
Seminars, and LAC sessions regarding gender sensitivity for both teachers and students.
Guidance counselor- As a school counselor I promote a gender-sensitivity in a way that everyone should
have the opportunity to break out from tradition gender-based behaviors and expectations. I model
inclusive language that reflects identities from all genders.

B. Discuss how the following steps create a progressive, students-centered classroom.


1. Create ongoing projects
Creating ongoing projects stimulates plenty of project choices wherein it allows students to
demonstrate what they are learning. The ongoing project provides workshop environment that is the
foundation upon which the student-centered classroom is built. The key to starts ongoing projects is to
engage the learning and implementing capabilities of students.
2. Integrate technology
Teachers nowadays achieve success by incorporating technology in their classroom, which leads to
increased student engagement in various activities. Technology has the ability to make students eager to
participate in almost any class activity, making it a natural choice for creating meaningful learning
experiences for students of all ages. Additionally, technology provides teachers with the opportunity to
modify information and differentiate instruction to cater to the learning capabilities of their students. This
can also enable students to work at their own pace.
[Link] homework with engaging in-class activities
Educators have varying opinions on homework, but I believe it should be replaced with in-class
activities. In-class activities promote better results and teamwork, unlike homework where students may
struggle without proper guidance. Interactive and engaging school activities are effective strategies that
make learning fun, boost student confidence, and improve critical thinking skills. This approach benefits
both students and teachers, leading to satisfying achievements in the teaching and learning process.
4. Eliminate rules and consequences in-class activities.
Instead of relying on rules and consequences, it is important for teachers to take the time at the
beginning of the school year to explain the learning environment they have designed for the classroom.
This environment should promote respect, cooperation, and engaging lessons for students. By
establishing a solid teaching structure, there may not be a need for strict behavioral rules and
consequences.
40

[Link] students in evaluation


1. Students have now been given an official role in the evaluation process. By evaluating their
teachers, students can help identify areas for improvement, development, or change in the teaching
methods. Additionally, this allows teachers to understand the needs and interests of their students
regarding the subjects they are studying. As part of their role, students are encouraged to discuss any
suggestions or expectations they have about their teachers before, during, and after their sessions.

C. List down 10 strengths and weaknesses of the students from the class you have observed.

Student Name Strengths Weaknesses


1. Angel Jade Mirabona Good in writing and reading, Shy sometimes
Fast learner
2. Fhame Eula N. Seva Very active in class Reading and writing
3. Dane L. Millena Active in classroom activity Reading and writing

10. Rita Athea L. Villa Very obedient Shy

Processing

1. Based on your interviews with internal school stake holders on how to promote a gender
sensitive school/ classroom, which of the answer is the best?
From the teachers I have interviewed they hand me a good answer but for me the school
principal’s answer is the best one because it applies in all subject which it enhances all
students attitude and characteristics. She had mentioned RHGP because it aims or
designed to assist students in developing their personalities in order to better prepare
them for responsibilities in the home, career, and community.

2. How will you determine the strengths and weaknesses of your students?
To determine the students’ strengths and weaknesses, I will use various strategies which
applies in an appropriate strategies, activities or assessment such as class survey, reading
time, Q and A portion activities, monitoring, shared stories, “all about me” activities, who
am I flow chart, through observations and others. These may help me to determine the
strengths and weaknesses of my learners. if they are poor in reading skills, poor in
writing skills, poor in self-esteem and others.

3. Which among the steps on creating progressive, student-centered classroom is the best step?
Why?
Create ongoing projects- because the continuous project is important to the promotion of
mastery.
Replace homework with a collaborative activity- with our situation we can use it when
having learners study group or by group activities.
Involve students in evaluation- the use of narrative feedback that follows a precise formula
and encourages students to resubmit tasks that do not exhibit mastery promotes a
studentcentered environment.

4. How are you going to use the learners’ needs and interest in creating a more effective
instruction?
41

By applying strategies that boost the needs and interest of students, in which they will more
actively participate in my class and it will help me more achieve effective instruction or
learning. Integrating the needs and interest of my learners helps me to reach my goals and
objectives in the lesson.

Reflection

Complete the following:


1. I realize that:
Knowing your weaknesses allows you to gain a better knowledge of what may be
holding a student back, and a teacher can then work to avoid allowing your flaws to drag
a student down. And knowing a student’s strengths helps to identify where he/she good
at.

2. I believe that:
Knowing your own strengths and weaknesses allows you to gain a better knowledge of
who you are and how you operate.

3. I feel that:
It is important to be a gender-sensitive because simply explained, being sensitive means
being aware of other people’s sentiments.

4. When I become a teacher, I will:


Tell my students that gender-sensitivity in this context refers to being aware of the
feelings of the opposite gender. This is significant because men and women think
differently, and, as a result, have distinct views.

LESSON 2: Learner’s Linguistic, Cultural, Socio-Economic, and


Religious Backgrounds

Observations

A. Ask your cooperating teacher for a copy of the School Form 1 (School Registrar). Paste a
copy of the School Form 1 in the box below and answer the following questions.
1. What is the grade and section that you have observed?
- The grade and section that I have observed is Grade 2 section Nightingale.
[Link] many boys and girls are there?
- There are 35 students in grade 2. It consists of 13 boys and 19 girls.
3. What is the religion of the majority of the students?
- The religion of the majority of the students is Christianity.
4. What is the common mother tongue of the students?
- The common mother tongue of the students is Daraguenio.
5. Does the class have students who belong to an ethnic group?
- There is no class that is belong to an ethnic group.

B. List down 10 strategies of your instructor you interviewed he/she can use to address the
individual differences (linguistic, cultural, socio-economic, and religious background) of the
students.
Strategy 1: Maintaining an inclusive curriculum that remains respectful of differences.
Strategy 2: Incorporating methods for self-testing.
Strategy 3: Expressing interest in the background of the students.
Strategy 4: Incorporating pedagogical practices that promote cross-type success

Strategy 5: Understanding my students’ learning styles and needs to promote a community for learners
and respecting one another’s strengths and differences.
Strategy 6: Maintaining good rapport and ensuring that the students felt safe and comfortable in the
classroom.
Strategy 7: Reinforcing with written instructions and one on one assistance.
Strategy 8: Utilizing ICT to cover a range of different needs of students.
Strategy 9: Addressing Multicultural Sensitive Communication
Strategy 10: Using peer group learning, cooperative learning, peer tutoring, community problem
solving, and self-directed learning.
43

C. Ask again your instructor how he or she gives importance to differentiated instruction in his or
her classes.
The teacher creates lessons that cater to the learning styles of each student. They group students
based on shared interests, topics, or abilities for assignments and use formative assessments to evaluate
their progress. The classroom is managed in a way that promotes a safe and supportive environment.
Additionally, the teacher continually adjusts the lesson content to meet the needs of their students.
Without supporting pedagogy, inclusion in diverse classrooms would not be successful. Differentiated
instruction is an example of a supporting instructional approach that caters to the needs of academically
diverse students, including those who are gifted or have disabilities. Instruction can be differentiated in
various ways, such as tailoring content to individual needs, modifying instructional methods, or adjusting
assignments based on skill and ability levels.

Other comments and observations:


Differentiating instruction gives importance for teachers in teaching the same material to all
students using a variety of instructional strategies. It may require the teacher to deliver
lessons at varying levels of difficulty based on the ability of each student.

Processing

Read carefully and answer the following questions.


1. Does the number of boys and girls affect the classroom instruction? How?
- The number of boys and girls in a classroom can potentially influence classroom dynamics and
interactions, but it should not significantly impact the instructional approach or the quality of education
provided. It is important to create an inclusive and equitable learning environment that values and
respects all students, regardless of their gender.
2. Does the religious background of the students affect the preparation of the lesson?
It is crucial for teachers to be familiar with their students' religious backgrounds, to the extent that
students and their families feel comfortable sharing that information. This awareness allows teachers to
provide an inclusive and culturally sensitive learning environment that acknowledges and respects
students' religious beliefs and practices.
3. Does the mother tongue of most of the students affect the medium of instruction? How?
It's important to note that the choice of the medium of instruction should also consider the broader
context, such as the language policies in the educational system, curriculum requirements, and the
language skills and needs of individual students. In some cases, a bilingual or multilingual approach may
be preferred, where both the mother tongue and a second language are used strategically to promote
language development and academic success.
4. Do the socio-economic differences of the students affect their learning? How?
Addressing socio-economic differences requires a multi-faceted approach, including equitable access
to resources, targeted support for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, and creating an inclusive and
supportive learning environment. Implementing strategies such as providing additional academic support,
offering mentoring programs, ensuring access to technology and resources, and promoting culturally
responsive teaching can help mitigate the impact of socio-economic disparities and support the academic
success of all students.
[Link] contextualization, localization, and indigenization of the curricula being done to fit the cultural
background of the students?
Contextualization, localization, and indigenization of curricula are approaches that aim to make
education more relevant and meaningful to the cultural background of students. It requires collaboration
with local communities, input from culturally diverse educators, and ongoing professional development
for teachers. It is essential to strike a balance between maintaining academic standards and incorporating
culturally relevant content that respects and reflects the cultural backgrounds of students.
44

Reflection

Complete the following statements.


1. I realize that:
Socio-economic disparities can impact students' physical and mental well-being, which,
in turn, can influence their learning outcomes. Students from lower socioeconomic
backgrounds may experience higher levels of stress, inadequate nutrition, or limited
access to healthcare, which can affect their ability to concentrate, retain information, and
actively engage in the learning process.

2. I believe that:
Starting instruction in the mother tongue can facilitate a smoother transition to learning a
second or additional languages. It provides a strong foundation of language skills, which
can then be applied to acquiring new languages more effectively.

3. I feel that:
Teachers should strive to use inclusive language and examples that do not favor or
exclude any particular religious belief. This can foster a sense of belonging and create an
environment where students from diverse religious backgrounds feel respected and
represented.

4. When it is my time to become a teacher, I will:


Encourage open discussions about religion, while maintaining a respectful atmosphere,
can be beneficial. It provides an opportunity for students to share their perspectives, ask
questions, and learn from each other's experiences, promoting understanding and
tolerance.

LESSON 3: Learners with Disabilities, Giftedness, and Talents

Observation

A. Interview the following internal schools’ stakeholders on how they deal with students with
disability and gifted learners.

Internal Stakeholders How do you deal with learners with disability and
giftedness?
Name of the School The same with other students that is why there is what we call
Principal: inclusion.
Floresita R. Sadueste
Name of the Classroom The same with other students. They are given equal tasks
Adviser: with others and are treated fairly. There are students who
Mrs. Angeline C. Rosales throw tantrums but regardless, they must be treated equally
with others and teachers must not take it to hearts when they
got hurt by them.
Name of Guidance The same with other learners. They should feel that they
Counselor: make no difference to other students. This will help them
Mrs. Mary Jean Magdaraog overcome their shortcomings.

B. Sit in a class with exceptional learners. Observe how the teacher uses different strategies in
teaching exceptional learners. List down five observations.

Observation 3: Teachers are making lessons easier for them like breaking them down into simpler
topics.

Observation 4: Integrating artwork in their lessons.

Observation 5: Teachers notify students and parents to their next activity so that they can prepare
their children.

C. Watch the film, Every Child is Special. After watching the movie, write a reflection about
the film.
Every Child is Special Title

"Every Child is Special" is a genuine portrayal of the struggles and obstacles that many children
encounter in their daily lives. The movie sheds light on the issue of learning disabilities, particularly
dyslexia, which affects a significant number of students worldwide. It realistically depicts the challenges,
frustrations, and emotional turmoil that children with learning disabilities may face. The film also highlights
the societal pressures and expectations placed on children to conform to traditional academic standards. It
reflects the reality that not all children fit into the mold of conventional education, and that they require
46

individualized attention and support to thrive. Moreover, the movie realistically portrays the impact of
effective teaching methods, understanding, and empathy on a child's growth and development. It
demonstrates how a compassionate and dedicated teacher can make a profound difference in a child's life,
and how their efforts can transform a struggling student into a confident and successful individual. The
characters, their relationships, and the emotions they experience are relatable and believable. The film
captures the essence of the challenges faced by children with learning disabilities, their families, and the
educators who play a vital role in their lives.

Processing

Read carefully and answer the following questions.


1. How do the answers of the school principal, classroom adviser and guidance councilor on dealing
with exceptional learners differ from each other?
 The school principal is in charge of managing and running the school. They are responsible for
creating a good learning environment, making sure that rules and regulations are followed, and
overseeing the school's performance. The classroom adviser is important for teaching and
supporting students with special needs in the classroom. They focus on providing high-quality
education, meeting individual needs, and creating a positive learning atmosphere. The guidance
counselor specializes in offering guidance, support, and counseling to students. They focus on
helping students with their social and emotional well-being, career development, and personal
growth.
2. Based on your five observations on how a teacher uses a strategy in teaching learners with
disability and giftedness, which strategy is the best?
 For me all the strategies are best to use with each other since they target the different needs of
the learners as well as making it possible for teachers to teach this student. Furthermore, all of
this strategy compliments each other they must all be used.
3. What have you realized after watching every child is Special?
 As teachers I realized that it is important to learn psychology to address our learners with
special needs. I also realized that we must be patient in teaching and should have the passion
and goal to teach our students. If we teach just because of our salary then it would be easy to
give up on our learners need which is not supposed to be. We must make our students goal, our
goal; and their success, our success.
4. Write a slogan to promote inclusive learning in the Philippines?
 "Education for All: Embrace Diversity, Foster Excellence!"

Reflection

Complete the following statements.


1. I realize that:
 By engaging with diverse perspectives, cultures, and experiences, learners develop cultural
competence. They gain a deeper understanding and appreciation for different worldviews,
traditions, and ways of life. This cultivates empathy, respect, and the ability to collaborate
effectively in multicultural settings.
2. I believe that:
 Diversity learning ensures that all learners, regardless of their backgrounds, abilities, or
identities, feel included and valued within the educational setting. It promotes a sense of
belonging, respect, and acceptance among students, creating a positive and supportive learning
environment for everyone.
3. I feel that:
 Diversity learning brings a wealth of knowledge, experiences, and ideas into the classroom. It
sparks meaningful discussions, encourages active participation, and broadens the range of
insights and perspectives shared among learners. This enriches the overall learning experiences
for everyone involved.
47

4. When it is my time to become a teacher, I will:


 Promote equity and social justice. It addresses systemic inequalities and strives for equal
opportunities and access to quality education for all learners, regardless of their background or
identity. By empowering learners through diversity learning, we create a more inclusive,
equitable, and harmonious society. It prepares individuals to navigate an increasingly diverse
world, embrace differences, and work collaboratively towards a more inclusive and just future.

LESSON 4: Learners in Difficult Circumstances

Observation

A. Interview the students on the difficulties they encounter while enrolled in school. List down

B. Interview the cooperating teacher. Ask how he/she considers the different difficult circumstances
faced by the students in preparing lessons and strategies.
All teachers know the HEART approach. Which teachers hear what the students is saying,
empathize with the student’s situation, assess what the student’s needs are, refer to campus
resources, tell the appropriate campus official or department. This is how I manage or deal
with difficult teaching situations faced by the learners

C. Create a poster-slogan promoting a diverse and responsive classroom.


48

Processing

A. Read carefully and answer the following questions.


1. Based on this lesson, what is the most heroic task of the teacher?
- Based on this lesson, the most heroic task of the teacher is understanding and addressing the
individual strengths and weaknesses of students to create a supportive and tailored learning environment.

2. Among the different difficult circumstances given by the students, which is the most
complicated? Why?
- Among the various challenging circumstances faced by students, student number 9's situation is
particularly complex. If this student experiences family problems, it can lead to a lack of motivation,
resulting in procrastination and late submissions. Additionally, their disinterest may lead them to consider
dropping out of school. Furthermore, their efforts may be undermined unknowingly by the teacher due to
his situation.

B. In your own opinion, what is the best strategy to use when teaching a student with chronic
disorder?
It is important to be attentive to signs of difficulty or disconnection from the learner. When a
student is facing challenges in the classroom, seeking advice and help is the first step.
Consulting with the student's family and connecting with the school's learning support
professionals can provide valuable insights and assistance. Identifying potential triggers, such
as environmental factors, for students with chronic conditions is crucial and can often be
easily addressed. It is essential to treat all students equally, while also allowing for necessary
accommodations. Students with chronic illnesses or conditions may require additional time
during exams or regular breaks from the classroom. However, it is important to strike a
balance, as excessive attention may inadvertently isolate them from their peers. Supporting the
learner in a way that meets their needs while fostering inclusion is key.

Reflection

Complete the following statements.


1. I realize that:
It is crucial for us, as educators, to have a deep understanding of our students, including their
personal challenges, particularly for those who display inattentiveness in class. By
recognizing that they may have problems at home or elsewhere, we can provide appropriate
support and intervention to help them overcome barriers to their learning and engagement.

2. I believe that:
Despite facing challenging circumstances, students often find ways to cope and continue their
studies to pass the semester or school year. Their determination and resilience drive them to
overcome obstacles and strive for academic success.

3. I feel that:
I should give our students a “me time” for themselves, as a day to relax, enjoy and free
themselves from stresses they are encountering from the school’s activities.

4. When it is my time to become a teacher, I will:


Always check my students if they find hard to understand the lesson because knowing the
student’s health and situation is always better because it is the most important thing to know.

Lesson 2: Aligning Learning Outcomes with Learning Competencies

Observation

A. Answer the following questions:


1. Does the school have a copy of the whole K to 12 curriculum guides?
Public and private schools are required by the Department of Education to have a complete
set of K to 12 curriculum guides. These guides form the basis of what students should learn.
2. Is the curriculum guide available to all teachers?
The teachers possess the curriculum guide and are assigned to educate the students in the K12
system. They have the responsibility of nurturing students' independent learning abilities and
imparting the knowledge and skills required for future success.
[Link] the teachers using the K to 12 curriculum guides in planning their lessons?
The teacher must adhere to the K to 12 curriculum guides when preparing their lessons to
help students achieve their goals and objectives.
4. Are the teachers aware of the differences between content standards, performance standards, and
learning competencies?
Prior to preparing their teaching style, teachers attend a seminar/orientation where they learn
about content standards, performance standards, and learning competencies. This knowledge
helps them choose the most effective strategies for their students' learning and needs.

 None

PROCESSING

Read carefully and answer the following questions.

1. What will happen if the teacher uses the same assessment strategy every day?
 If the teacher keeps using the same assessment method, students may get bored easily. This is
why some students lose their interest and concentration in studying. Such an approach is not
helpful in enhancing students' cognitive, emotional, and psychomotor learning.

2. Which of the three assessment strategies has been used more often in class? Why do you think
so?
 Formative assessment is being utilized more often in the classroom. Once we finish discussing
our lessons, our teacher assigns a lengthy quiz every Wednesday. This quiz aids in our self-
awareness of our progress and encourages us to assess our own learning.

3. In your own opinion, which of the three assessment strategies is the most important? Explain
your answer.
 I believe that the most crucial assessment among the three is the summative assessment. This is
because it helps teachers evaluate if their students are meeting the expected learning standards
and making adequate academic progress. Based on this assessment, teachers can modify their
teaching methods, lesson plans, or instructional materials for the next lesson or unit.

4. How does assessment improve the students' learning and the teachers' performance?
 Assessments improve students' learning by focusing on three areas: cognitive, affective, and
psychomotor learning. This leads to holistic learning and growth for the students. Moreover,
assessments also help teachers by ensuring they follow the correct procedures in developing,
planning, and implementing effective teaching and learning strategies.

71

REFLECTION

Complete the following:

1. I realized that
We need to continue working on monitoring and evaluating their work. It is important to give
them feedback that will help them improve their learning. We should also provide positive
reinforcement by explaining the reasons behind something, rather than just giving the correct or
incorrect answer.

2. I believe that
Monitoring and evaluation allow us, as teachers, to assess if our students are actually learning
from us. It is also an opportunity for us to enhance our teaching abilities and deliver improved
instructions to our students.

3. I feel that
Effective feedback is crucial for helping learners fully understand and accept their mistakes.
By engaging in conversation and encouraging self-assessment, learners can identify their own
errors.

4. When I become a teacher, I will


Ensure that I am not too strict with my students when it comes to monitoring and evaluating
them. I understand that even during intense discussions, everything will be fine. It is important to
communicate with them and listen to their needs so that we can meet their requirements.

LESSON 3: Feedback to Improve Learning

Observation

A. Discuss the importance of giving constructive feedback to improve the students learning
Write your answer on the space below.

Constructive feedback plays a crucial role in enhancing learning outcomes. By providing


effective feedback, learners are able to reflect on their learning and identify areas for
improvement. This involves highlighting both the strengths and weaknesses of their work,
with a focus on the positive aspects. When students receive explanations about what is right
and wrong in their work, it greatly benefits their learning. Additionally, feedback offers
suggestions on how students can approach the identified areas of improvement.

B. Paste a sample of student activity or quiz. Highlight the feedback given by the teacher.
72

C. Check YES if the


statement for
giving feedback to
students is observed.

Giving Student Feedback Yes No

1. The student feedback is educative

2. The student feedback is given in a timely manner

3. The teacher is sensitive to the individual needs of the students.

4. The teacher anticipates the four questions. (What can the students do? What can't the
students do? How does the students work compare with that of others? How can the student
do better?

5. The student feedback is a reference for skill or specific knowledge

6. The teachers give feedback to keep the students "on target" for achievement.

73

18. The teacher uses the phrase “I noticed… in acknowledging the student effort

19. The teachers provide a model or an example

20. The teacher invites students to give YOU feedback

Other comments and observations:


 Because some learners have been unable to receive comments from other learners, it is
preferable for us to provide feedback on their tasks and activities as they are passed.

Processing

Read carefully and answer the following questions.


[Link] is the right time to provide constructive feedback: during or after the students'
performance?
I believe it is better to give feedback to students once they have finished their work.
Interrupting them while they are still working is not a wise choice. Instead, wait until they
have completed their performance to provide your critique, as you can only give an initial
evaluation before addressing any negative feedback you may have noticed.

Providing feedback to teacher's aids helps them improve their planning skills and provide
appropriate teaching materials for the classroom. This will make it simpler for children to
understand and follow instructions.

At our school, some teachers believe in using intrinsic motivation to keep students
motivated. They understand that teenagers need positive reinforcement to stay focused.

Reflection

Complete the following:


1. I realized that
Providing feedback to students, like writing comments on their assignments, can assist them in
recognizing their mistakes and hopefully, acquiring the skills to avoid them in the future. This will
also motivate them to study diligently and engage in additional research to enhance their
comprehension, rather than solely relying on what is taught in class.
2. Believe that
Giving feedback to learners is another approach to strengthen their mistakes. This helps them
differentiate between correct and incorrect answers, and also aids students in recognizing errors
during activities.
3. I feel that
74

Providing feedback in a suitable way can enhance students' learning as they can easily recognize
their errors and areas for improvement without feeling stressed.
4. When I become a teacher, I will
Honor my students' answers and offer constructive feedback that won't cause confusion or
undermine their confidence. I'll assess their responses without bias, no matter how different they
may be. I'll always appreciate their hard work and dedication to their assignments.

Grade and Section: Grade 2-Nightingale Grading Period: 2nd Quarter
Date: November 15, 2023
At our school, we organize an annual parent-teacher conference where the principal and collaborating
teachers come together to discuss important matters. The conference begins promptly with the presentation
of a specific topic for discussion. During this time, the teacher acknowledges the achievements of the
second-grade students and addresses any challenges they may be facing in the classroom that hinder their
learning progress. Once the topic presentation is concluded, the speaker invites parents to share their
comments and opinions on the proposed remedial activities suggested by the teacher. Each parent is given
dedicated time to discuss their concerns and thoughts with the school staff. Occasionally, certain issues
75

discussed during the conference may lead to debates among parents, disagreements, or misunderstandings.
In such cases, the advisor steps in to provide a practical solution to resolve the problem. If a consensus is

them to plan and implement appropriate remedies to address the student's needs.

Parents, as guardians, should closely monitor their children's academic performance, as it is a
precious treasure that will last even after they are no longer here.
3. I feel that
Assessing the needs of our students is something we should never tire of. If our students fail our
class, we must offer them remedial teaching. As educators, we should conduct further research on
how to deliver remedial lessons effectively, ensuring that they have an amazing learning experience
the next time.
4. When I become a teacher, I will
Allow my students' parents to participate in all school activities. They will be able to keep track of
their pupils' progress and needs. They must devote time and effort to get along with the teachers
in order to determine whether or not their child is truly interested in their studies.

effective method to enhance classroom education. By understanding your students' skills through
diagnosis, you can employ different teaching approaches and provide relevant instructions and
activities. This enables collaborating teachers to improve their teaching abilities and skills
effectively.
[Link] of the five ways of using assessment data to improve school programs mentioned by the
principal is the best? Why?
The top-notch information is that it will enhance their ability and knowledge in creating teaching
materials that will be suitable for the students' characteristics, which is one of the five evaluations
mentioned by the principal to enhance school programs. If a teacher's program concentrates on
assessing a student's learning ability, the teacher will be able to identify the appropriate strategies

year and what he or she has done to improve this year.
Amid the pandemic, students are experiencing blended learning methods, which require teachers
to adapt. They need to adjust not only in their interactions with students but also in utilizing
technology for education, exploring different web tools to stay connected with their students,
presenting instructional materials, and delivering lessons. However, teachers cannot ensure that
students are truly learning since self-learning plays a vital role.

Reflection

Complete the following:


1. I realized that

• Teachers can enhance their daily teaching methods by creating customized educational
interventions for each student. This approach will also enable them to set specific goals for both
students and teachers, leading to more effective learning.
2. I Believe that

solving problems, facing challenges, making errors, and learning from their mistakes. However,
78

for this approach to be effective, it is crucial that the teacher has already evaluated the students'
requirements.
3. I feel that

• Students possess an understanding of others' emotions. They prefer to acquire knowledge about
subjects that directly affect people's lives rather than learning about impersonal facts. If teachers
are unaware of this, they will be unable to unlock their students' full learning potential.
4. When I become a teacher, I will

• Make my students aware of certain factors that they believe are leading to their academic failures
or difficulties in getting along with their peers. By teaching them respect, I aim to foster effective
communication among them and encourage peer learning. This way, they can learn from each
other's unique learning methods and enhance their overall learning experience.
