Wong #3

                   Harry Wong's third video which is Discipline was emphasized, he also said that  in order for both the teachers and the students to succeed and have a great time, they must have an orderly environment. In making an orderly environment, we must set the rules and regulations at the start of the class so that students will be aware of the Do's and Dont's inside the classroom and also inside the campus. By being aware of these things, they would do anything bad because doing such things have also consequences and that would be punishments.         You have to be careful most of the time when giving punishments to students because if you punish them physically and emotionally, indeed, you are going to be locked up on those bars. So in giving punishments, we have to be really careful, we just have to talk to them wholeheartedly if they have problems so that we can give them advice that they need and if they did something wrong, we have to discipline them in

Educational System

        Sto. Domingo Integrated School for me is indeed a friendly school where everyone welcomes you to their school with two hands. When I got deployed to another school, I missed this school very much. Where I can see that teachers, students, parents and even faculty members are so very kind and greet you with a smile. I'm so glad that I came back here and hoping that I will still deploy here when our practice teaching comes and looking forward also to teach in this kind and conducive environment to teach.        Sto. Domingo Integrated School is a public school which follows the curriculum that DepEd implemented and this school follows it strictly. Their students managed to memorize and recite their vision and mission before starting their lesson and I think this is a very good practice so that when somebody asks if they know their vision and mission of their own school, they would not be embarrassed instead they would be proud because they know their school very well. Th

Elements of Teaching

     As an observer, I observed everything that my resource teacher and students do in their classroom. My resource teacher has the 3H already. These 3H are the head, heart, and hands. She's holistic already I guess because as I've observed her, she's already in ease when taking care of her students. As my other resource teacher told me, "If these 3 are not balanced, you'll never be a successful and effective teacher." and I agree with this because if the teacher is only knowledgeable without character, she/he has a character but not knowledgeable or if the teacher is teaching the students but don't help the students, everything is worthless.     These 5 elements of teaching, I guess all of them are important. These 5 elements also present in my resource teacher and I can see that she's doing everything to cater to the student needs. The teacher herself is very effective with the help of the materials/resources, the learning environment was okay wi

Educational Philosophy

     This is my resource teacher, Ms. Marty Galang. I've been observing in her class 2semesters already and I enjoy observing her in her class because she's very intelligent and she focused on the students and how they will acquire knowledge from her.       When I interviewed her last meeting, she said that she is Essentialism kind of a teacher just like my educational philosophy also. But on her part even though she is very traditional, her strategies and why of teaching is different. Since their curriculum is DepEd curriculum and they follow it strictly, she is also focused on students. She is very innovative somehow because she presents her topic by power point presentation and her little projector. She is very traditional yet she is flexible so that she can give the student needs.     As she said, "We may have a specific educational philosophy but I think all of us can acquire those different educational philosophies in giving the student needs, by this different

Orientation Day at SDIS

              We had an orientation last Thursday, August 2, 2018 at exactly 8:00 in the morning. Sto Domingo Integrated School was my observation school since FS1-FS6 except for FS5 because I was deployed at RL Annex. Since then we had an orientation, it's just the same all over again but I think it's good for us students so that we will always be reminded of their rules and regulations in their school since we are asking for a favor to them to observe in their school.       I love this school since then because first of all the environment is friendly, the teacher that handling the orientation was nice and the teachers there are also nice even the students. I didn't have a problem in this school since I was deployed here. I love observing in this school even their learning environment is not conducive to learning but still, students have the courage to learn more and teachers and faculties are doing their best just to improve their school to make it a better learning

Wong #2 First Day of School

              The first day of school was really kind of exciting for me because almost everything that the student own or wear are almost new and also our classmates and the teacher. In the first day of school, we make a lot of impressions about the new people that we are seeing and talking. Some are good and some are not. But the best part of the day is introducing yourself in the class.       Mr. Harry Wong emphasizes the classroom management in the class that we must already set up sitting arrangements, rules and regulations inside the classroom and also what to accomplish every meeting. In the form of this kind of classroom management, I think 80-100% will be successful and students may know what to do and it will become a habit for them every day.     As teachers, we must have a good classroom management so that our room will not be like a zoo and students will have discipline and know what to do inside the classroom. Also when the first day of school, make something that i

Wong #1 The Effective Teacher

     I salute Mr. Harry Wong about everything that he said on how to be an effective teacher. I believe also that every teacher will become effective. Maybe others will not be effective now, but hopefully soon.         After watching this video of him, it made me realized that to be a teacher is not that really easy at all. We have to implement a good classroom management first and everything will follow. It's also true that when a teacher is having her 1st year of teaching, one of the things you will think is how to survive in day. A teacher will do everything just to pass a day of teaching. Others will give up because of the struggles that they experienced in teaching the students yet a true teacher will not give up on his students instead he/she will do something more bigger so that his/her students will like him/her and love what they are learning inside the classroom. Teachers and most especially beginner in the field must watch this video of Harry Wong.
