The Cooperating Teacher plays a very vital role in the successful implementation of the
Teaching Internship Program.
The Cooperating Teacher (CT) is defined as a teacher with a minimum of three years of teaching
experience who acts as a mentor in the teaching internship program in the area in which the teaching intern is
earning her degree. The CT serves as a model in all aspects of teaching and learning.

 He/She allows you to reflect critically and creatively on your learning experiences to ensure that you
accomplish more and do better in your future activities.
He/She shares interactive and innovative teaching strategies and methods you have not learned and
are not familiar with to make your classroom activities highly engaging.
He/She gives second advice about the good/best practice in teaching and learning.
He/She gives teaching tips and hoe to do things in the most effective and efficient ways.
He/She suggests instructional resources to make your classroom activities more meaningful and
rewarding.

 PERFORMANCE TASK 1
Based on the orientation conducted by the Cooperating Teacher, complete the
matrix given below.
My cooperating teacher

Expectations My Responsibilities

As a student teacher at this school, I am expected to meet

and the school. I need to remember all of my cooperating

Relationship students, I must exercise patience. I need to think about the
different types of students. I also need to establish positive
relationships with my coworkers. I will posit honesty while
Employ honest all the times doing my part as a practicing teacher. So that by the end of
my experience teaching, I can confidently declare that I am
now prepared to teach professionally.

Integrate values in teaching

 What is the impact of these expectations?

As an intern, the impact of these expectations has forced me to become a master of time
management. I learnt that every minute counts while I operate in a fast-paced professional
atmosphere. I managed my time efficiently with the help of these requirements, which makes me a
good teacher. And it motivates me to always put up my best effort, even if the task at hand appears
to be minor and inconsequential. It will help you develop a strong work ethic, and others will notice
your efforts. No one like being criticized, and performance appraisals can be rather frightening.
You'll almost certainly make a few blunders and get constructive criticism from both your
colleagues and your supervisor regarding your job. Always keep in mind that it's not about you. It's
for your own welfare and growth, and it'll help you produce better work.
  PERFORMANCE TASK 2
Cite the three (3) most important policies and procedures given by your CT to provide safe and
secure learning environments to your learners.
Policies and Procedures How do I respond to these? My plans of
action…

On the top right corner of all assignments,

the student's first and last name, date, and
period must be included. The board lists all
of the assignments and their due dates. It is
Assignment Policy the obligation of the student to submit
assignments on time. All due assignments
should be deposited in the proper drawer in
the assignment corner.
Usually, I give the students at least 3 days to
comply with the activities or quizzes while I
give the students at least 5 days to comply
Late Assignment Policy
with relative to performances-based task.
An assignment will lose 10% off the earned
grade for each day that the assignment is
late. In order for students to be successful,
assignments will be given on a daily basis.
Most of the work students will be asked to
perform will be completed in class. If a child
does not complete classwork, it then
becomes homework. For practice of
remedial skills, students will occasionally be
asked to complete a homework assignment
that is not given in class. However, students
will never be given homework that covers
unfamiliar content. My plans to this policy
are to explain it well to my students so that
they can pass their assignment responsibly.

All handouts for the day will be placed in

the student’s mailbox if a student is absent
Absent Assignment Policy from class. If a student is absent on a day an
assignment is due and was present when the
assignment was given, that assignment must
be turned in once the student returns or the
late policy will begin to take effect. If a
student is absent on the day an assignment is
assigned, the student will have five school
days to turn in the assignment according to
school board policy before the late policy
will begin to take effect.

 What is the impact of these policies and procedures to student learning?

These policies and procedures have an impact on student learning since they assist a school in
establishing rules and procedures, as well as quality standards for learning and safety, as well as expectations
and accountability. Without these, schools would be unable to offer the structure and function required to meet
children' educational needs. Policies and procedures work together to produce a road map for day-to-day
operations. They guarantee that laws and regulations are followed, provide decision-making direction, and
streamline internal processes.

 PERFORMANCE TASK 3
My cooperating teacher is my role model in the following virtue. Cite
and give situations on how these virtues are applied?

Kind
Kindness for a teacher is to be
friendly, approachable and nice to

 MY LEARNING ARTIFACT/S
Write a letter to your Cooperating Teacher.

Dear Maam Marchie,

Student teaching has been many things: enjoyable, hard,

hectic, crazy, full of meetings, teary eyes, long days, full
moons, happy days, lesson preparation, copying papers,
grading, and many memories made. Thank you for
allowing me to use your space. I understand that having an
extra person in your space, following you about, and
accompanying you to every appointment isn't always easy.
Thank you for allowing me to come in and for accepting
the position of student teacher. Thank you for giving me
the opportunity to meet, teach, and love everyone of your
students. They may have been shy when they first met me,
but after getting to know each of our students and teaching
them, I have grown to love them all. They've turned into
my own students. They are the students I will never forget
and will always remember when I host my first student
teacher in my online classroom years later. Thank you for
demonstrating the positive side of teaching by observing
our students' progress. Thank you for also showing me the
negative side. Every day classes do not go as planned, nor
does every child act appropriately. Many people believe
that our profession is always fun and filled with children,
but this is not the truth. Thank you for taking me in as a
special student and mentoring me to become the greatest
teacher I can be. You've signed a slew of attendance
sheets, completed numerous evaluations, and assisted me
in my professional development. I'm not sure how to
thank you.

Your Student Teacher,

Robenson Roa
  What is the impact of this letter to me as a teaching intern?
This letter has had an impact on me as a teaching intern because people like to be
recognized, and if they believe you notice the good thing they do for you, they're more likely to
do it again. Gratitude is a virtue that everyone should strive for. However, gratitude is useless
unless you have learned the art of expressing it. We should take advantage of every opportunity
to express our gratitude for those who love, support, and give to us. The thank you note is one of
the most common ways to express gratitude. Unfortunately, many of us nowadays utterly
disregard this component of etiquette, breaking the hearts of precious little grandmothers all
around the world. A thank you letter, or note, is a token of gratitude for a kind gesture, remark,
or present However, the formality of this approach might be frightening. Many individuals
believe that a thank you letter must be written perfectly, which causes them so much anxiety that
they never send it. Before you follow any of the other principles, keep in mind that an imperfect
letter written with heartfelt sentiment is preferable to a perfect one never written.
