Just had my classes earlier. And had chit chats with my co-student teachers.
For the past days that I've been teaching in PUPLHS, I felt tiredness and stress but hearing good news from Cristy a while ago, everything have changed.
To give you a brief background, I have a class in Computer and had some difficulty in terms of classroom management because of the excessive noise that they were having. Because of such reason, my critic teacher's comments since then revolve around with such scenario. I was really at loss on how to make a remedy for such dilemma. There was a time that I have felt that teaching would not really meant for me. Doing my best yet not enough (really). Tried so many methods (di lang pala math ang may trial and error, pati sa pagtuturo)--but God helped me still, the comments of my CT turned good:) so glad for that--worthy efforts. However, had a very strict approach with my students. Such way made me feel guilty. That was not an image that I want to portray, but I don't have any choice. The situation forced me (wala ng ibang way, yun ang advice ni ma'am eh).
Then I've heard from Cristy during our break, the talk abouts happened during the homeroom of the section that I am teaching for (which is also the advisory class of my CT). I was the main topic of their homeroom. The students had still a good feedback to me amidst such approach I've executed. Thank God. They were able to understand me. One reason I've heard then, was that I was okay after class (sa room lang daw ako masungit, but sa labas okay naman daw ako). What made me smile more was that my CT appreciated it and made me as an example to my other co-student teachers (kwento rin sakin).
Nakakawala ng pagod ang mga ganong instances. I've fixed my mind before that I want to be a teacher by heart not only such an ideal one.
Kanina sa byahe, sumagi sa isip ko rin ang bookkeeping class ko. Ang subject na sobrang challenging sa'kin. In which I am teaching a topic which I have not taken before and the students are so active, and generally bright. Such a great opportunity to learn again and practice more my skills in teaching. Then, everything went well. My critic teacher was happy with the way I taught them, as well as the students. I really want them to learn from me. hhhmmm...quite seen from the evaluation:)
Another good thing of meeting and having bookkeeping class is that I was given a chance to meet such students, meet more people whom you'll be inspired with. Wala lang, natutuwa lang talaga ako sa resulta--which I have not expected before.
Hope I could be able to do more for my student's sake.
A teacher who's not only a dispenser of knowledge, but also a person who can be with while enjoying the lesson through different activities and experiences that would bind us more.
