“Let’s get started”

I. My Accomplishment

I thank God because I had already started teaching in private school especially the 4^th year students. This would serve as my achievement for this week because I know that finishing the 10 lessons here in private school would take time to complete the lessons.

Last week, when I entered one of the classrooms of the 4^th year students, I was full of anxiety; it was because it is my first time to teach students from private school. I noticed that before the prayer, everybody is making noise. I need to catch their attention to begin with the prayer. It is good that some students followed what I had said.

II. My Significant Experience

When I was discussing a particular topic to my student, one of my students raised his hand then started asking a particular question. He asked a question. It was good for me that I manage to answer his question without having dead air. I was afraid that I may not answer his question but I am glad that I did try my best to answer it. This was very significant for me because this is only the time that I experience this kind of thing seriously with the presence of my Cooperating Teacher because honestly in public, they just asked a question to me without my Cooperating Teacher.

III. My Insights

For me to be able to get more strategies about how to manage students in private school is that observing my CT would be a great help to collect strategies basing on how I manage a classroom especially that she already teach these kinds of students for how many years. But before we started teaching, she remind as about managing. She said that in terms of classroom management, the students are noisy in a sense that it is an academic noise. Furthermore, they are cooperative and participative in terms of recitation.

  

IV. Problems

I observed that during my discussion, some of my students at Lab High are participating but they possess such attitude as hyperactive. They shout out their answers while reciting. When I had their group activity which is manuscript reading, some of the member of the group read loudly which is not pleasant to hear. How can I solve this problem?

V. Solution

Maybe, the solution to my problem is I must be very strict in terms of disciplining them in such a way that I will make my appearance firm and possess authority which is in a positive manner just to make and change their hyperactive behavior.

VI. My Goals for Next Week

For next week, maybe I could execute lessons as possible as I can so that I would already finish the half of my 10 lessons that I must have to complete. Even though it is a little bit hard, I know I can possibly do it because my motivation is the “diploma” that I will be having later on.
