Preface
Confidence is wont to come slowly in matters of great moment. that
in ending an extremely difficult undertaking, a person must be inspired by
the thought that in the discharge of his particular responsibility, he was
able to safely aport his ship amidst turbulent waters.
Practice Teaching is the preparation of an individual to be a
professional teacher. This part of training is manifested after the complex
nature of the teacher learning process while taking up the pre-service
education.
Individuals who intend to become a teacher are required to fully
understand and escalate the genuine definition of teaching. And as teaching
implies, it is the systematic presentation of facts, ideas, skills, and
techniques to the students. Although human beings have survived and
evolved as a species partly because of the capacity to share knowledge,
teaching as a profession did not emerge until relatively recently in which
designated people assumed responsibility for educating the young ones.
Teachers are like leaves that flourish everywhere but effective
teachers are like fruits, they are rarely found. In view of that, more than
knowledge and skills, an effective teacher should be compassionate and
understanding. This kind of training inside the pre-service education, you will
learn the important factors which are part of the components in searching
the true meaning of teaching profession.
Student Teaching is the foremost and most important step in moving
from amateur status on the way to gain the competencies that mark the
factual professional status. The true existence of this certain part of the
v
student teacher training is not to be focus only to the perfection itself but
of striving for competence.
Student teaching is a time for growing confidence and beginning
expertise to get a chance to learn and put the skills on the line of his own
classroom.
This portfolio embodies practically all the accounts on the day to day
activities of the student teacher.
However, selected purposes of student teaching personally targeted
by the teacher-candidate have been satisfactorily achieved. First is to
provide the teacher-training institution with a means of evaluating its
effectiveness and that of any single student or group of students. Another
is to enable the student teacher to evaluate his adequacies in terms of
personal adjustment, knowledge of the subject matter and ability to employ
teaching methods effectively and appropriately. Humbly speaking, these
were achieved.
With the broadening influences of student teaching at the San
Nicolas National High School, it brings with it a series of diverse
impressions and judgments. After such, the student teacher consistently
looks back to it as the MOST REWARDING single curriculum experience in
college. But in its early stage, the student teacher was enamored with it, yet
threatened by it; happy to be weaned from theory, but apprehensive about
the ability to apply it; stimulated by high school students and teachers, but
somewhat appalled by their demands; eager to teach sizeable units of
vi
learning, but fatigued at their completion; in general, both delighted with,
yet more than a little concerned over the situation.
Customarily, however, as the day pass, the negative feelings gave way
to the positive, with new experiences bringing new successes and other
rewards that make all expenditures of thought, time and effort seem
worthwhile. Because student teaching is of such inestimable value, the
student teacher did not succumb to the lure of easy certification for the
requirements of the course.
Broadly conceived, I depose and say that student teaching is a
valuable testing around for both the student teacher and the program of
teacher education and the strengths and limitations of which are brought
into the open when theory is applied in a laboratory.
Summarily, this is an experience Im proud of, Alta La Fersa Frente.
Meaning with head high.
