Lesson Plan Making – Reflection

I have definitely gained a lot of helpful insights from my school head-evaluator regarding
my semi-detailed lesson plan. I have learned how to write learning and teaching goals as well as
planning. I have learned that having the learners be actively engaged is a large part of learning. I
should set a teaching philosophy, like ‘Promoting Learning’, as suggested by my evaluator. This
will help in guiding me daily. I should foster critical thinking skills into my learners, have them
develop great problem-solving skills, and much more.

As advised by my evaluator, that in planning a lesson, the teacher should be flexible. The
teacher has to be a good assessment and instructional designer. She should assess a learner using
various reading assessments for fluency and comprehension. She must be able to construct a well
thought out plan for instruction based on the learners advocate and classroom community builder
by creating and fulfilling lessons that honor diverse backgrounds and needs of certain learners.
She should not be afraid to work collaboratively with her colleagues when designing her lesson
plans and designing activities.

From the insights I have gained from my evaluator and my colleagues, I hope to soon to
be evolve into a better teacher and be knowledgeable of exactly what a great teacher needs to
enable his learners to be the best that they can be. I believe that literacy is of great importance,
that’s why I chose Reading and Writing as my topic in the lesson plan. I have always wanted to
focus on developing my learners’ reading and writing skills. Some students nowadays find it
hard to understand the content because they are having difficulty mastering the basics: reading
and writing. In every activity, I also encourage collaboration; having learners work together to
seek answers and being social. All these realizations made me become more passionate in
teaching. This SEAMEO TECH experience really helped me unlock the teaching passion and
develop the teaching skill within me.
