EFFECTIVE (The Effective Teacher by Harry K. Wong)

In Wong's first chapter in his book, he was able to introduce The Effective Teacher, and that being that kind of teacher has its own ups and downs. He was even able to discuss the 4 Stages of Teaching which would suffice his purpose in the first chapter.

  1. Fantasy - the stage wherein the teacher is mostly in the first two years of teaching, thinking that everything that will happen in the classroom will be to his/her liking all the time.
  2. Survival - this stage is about having teachers go through struggles, thinking that they do let the students learn, but without giving the due intervention. This also happens when the teacher develops the patterned week of a lesson.
  3. Mastery - this is when teachers get to upgrade what they learn. They get to study even further so that what they teach in class can be more fruitful.
  4. Impact - in this stage, the teacher maximizes his/her worth in making a difference in the world. He/She won't have the idea of getting afraid of sharing something to the class, and even to the world.
Wong also said that The EFFECTIVE teacher AFFECTS life, and the ways on how to be an effective teacher are:
  1. Good classroom manager
  2. Design lessons to reach mastery
  3. Has positive expectations that students will be successful
The topic is relevant in my present course in a way that I get to learn more, and learning more is a good thing when it comes to being a pre-service teacher. In my professional growth, this chapter inspires me to always do what is good and just in the classroom. There will be times I will feel failure, but it isn't the end. Personally, this was a tap on the back reminder of who I should be.

I intend to use them as a reminder in each day I will come inside my own classroom in the future. This topic is very timeless and befits teachers at all walks of life and age. I can reach out to co-faculty members to watch how inspiring Dr. Wong's words are even if he claims to steal ideas from others, because that is how we can learn as teachers, we learn from the experiences and advice from one another.

The number one thing I would like my life to adopt is on the different ways on becoming an effective teacher. These are the stepping stones I need for me to be the best teacher I can in every lesson.

So far, I didn't have any problems regarding the video presentation. It was short for me, but for one chapter, it's enough.

The Educational System of FGNMHS

Growing up 12 years in a Catholic School, I always wondered how public schools were run, and I'm thankful that in all my field study units were in public schools. Francisco G. Nepomuceno Memorial High School is one of the largest DepEd schools in Angeles that cater to more than 5,000 students excluding this year's first batch of Senior High School students. Typically, schools in DepEd follow the same Philosophy, Vision, and Mission, as well as the core values. The school also houses more than 2,000 faculty members excluding the administrators and those in other offices. A large school such as FGNMHS requires a lot of attention especially with the large number of populations it caters, but seeing the system itself whenever I am in the Principal's Office, the faculty, and even in the classrooms, I can say that the Educational System of this particular school is organized and well-updated. Of course, there are flaws, and not every institution is perfect, but everyone has...

Teacher as Role Model of GMRC

Instinctly, teachers, especially Values Educators are the epitome of Good Morals and Right Conduct of not only students, but of the entire community. Teachers are professionals and looked with full dignity. The teachers I am observing at my school are both the epitome of GMRC in their own little ways. Teacher 1 is very prim and proper, but knows how to give a good laugh. In all her classes, she knows and sees everything each student does in class and acknowledges him/her even in the smallest detail of sitting properly or having their phones out. Whenever she sees her female students doing their makeup or grooming in class, she reminds them that the classroom will never be a comfort room, otherwise their designated seats will be urinals. Teacher 2 knows when to be firm in times her students need it. She never likes noise and always points out disrespectful remarks not only to her but to even their classmates. She always makes it a point that respect begets respect. Because in some...

Orientation

I know it's late, but it's better late than never I guess *nervous laugh* It's already September but I can never forget the orientation period, and I think everyone else who were deployed in my designated school will never forget that memorable day. We arrived at HAU at around 7:30am, and we left exactly at 8:00. After three schools, we finally arrived at our designated school at around 8:30. Since there was an emergency meeting, no one was there to entertain us. So we waited another hour. Then one hour became two, until someone finally accompanied us at the library. The person who oriented us was the coordinator of MAPEH. She just reminded us to wear proper uniform and be courteous to all the faculty in the school. After that, she told us to wait for the coordinators before leaving. When she left, there were almost 40 of us waiting. We waited until 12nn. Everyone was literally on fire, and I kept quiet. Because what could I get if I let my hot-headedness get to me? N...
