Weekly Journal No.3

“Move On”

My Accomplishment:

·         For this week, I finished at least three rated lesson plans. I was able also to deliver it but not in excellent way, which I need to master my lessons first and connect it to the experiences of my students. 

·         I attended also our group meeting on last Thursday (September 11, 2014). 

My Significant Experience:

      As time goes by, I am able to adapt myself to my classmates, students and teachers. From the start of this semester everything was new to me, it seems that I am always out of place. Being out of school for three years, I learned a lot on how to stand with my own feet and as usual learn from mistakes. Some of batch mates were working already in the school where I am practicing my teaching profession. I don’t pity of myself but I regret a lot things for I didn't prioritized my studies in which I’m facing it now. At least I’m proud that I am feeding my own self.

My Insights:

     Instead of comparing the way on how other cooperating teachers rate our lessons plans, having a rating of 3-4 was uneasy at first for I did my best. I realized that that I’m still lucky than my other classmate that have higher rates because that was my performance from a real professional. My cooperating teacher was kind enough for me in giving her comments when I am teaching, she is always straight to the point on how things/tasks should be done.

My Problem:

       I have hard time in making my lesson plan and any written activities. I consume a lot of time and materials in doing it. I often commit errors by interchanging the letters, therefore; I don’t have enough time on rewriting it and submit what I had to my cooperating teacher.  For one lesson plan I can rewrite it for half day and waste a lot of bond papers.

Solutions

      I will keep on practicing until I will overcome my dysgraphia by self-generating my own works, organizing well my thoughts and focus to my manuscripts. If i will need help I'll try to ask others. Nothing is wrong if I will do it.

Goals for Next Week:

      Hopefully, I be more energetic and become effective teacher to my students and do my best to solve my problems. In spite of their differences I’ll be able deal with them not only by means of academic but also of personal growth. I want to teach a lesson for a lifetime (something that they will not forget).
