A. Introduction
“Education is what survives
when what has been learned
has been forgotten.”
-B.F. Skinner (1904 - 1990)
Every individual reflect education as the most valuable and important thing that
they can receive. It is the treasure and wealth that cannot be taken from you even a
greatest theft in the world. Government offered education for free in public schools
excluding the miscellaneous fees for this is their way of making our country highly
competitive in line with globalization. Aside from that, they wanted to make sure that
every individual can be beneficial into our country not disadvantageous one. In this
society, acceptance could be gained if we are well – educated. Basically, success - all
the possibilities are guaranteed and it would be very impressive if one has attained
college degree. It has been always considered as the highest attainable battle in our
life. Therefore, in order for us to have a good reputation and acceptance in this society,
education is a prerequisite.
Why examinations do makes our problems so complicated? Why do home works
keep on disturbing our leisure time? And why are does projects require us not to sleep
to the point of putting yourself in real anxiety? Come to think of it? It’s just easy for us to
complain as much as there are no words left to say. But please don’t get it wrong. We
often just say that but we don’t even know how these matters change our lives.
Education is generally about knowledge and experience gain. It’s not only about the
facts from the textbooks nor the subject matter of the lessons we often learned every
day. What I mean to say is that education concerns also the lessons in life that we learn
from the classroom setting, from the people that we relate with, from the teacher who
imparts his or her experiences in life, and from ourselves on how we apply what we
learned and normally act in particular environment. It leads us to our personal growths
on how we act and use the right attitude during a specific situation and how do we deal
with certain situations. It builds our mind to think critically with knowledge of what is right
and wrong and to see deeply what the reality of this world is and teaches us to respect
each other and interact in a very humane way where we use appropriate action in
treating one another with the God’s perspective.
Lastly, education provides hope for the people and for the rest who are chasing
after their dreams. It’s a necessity and a greatest demand of our society. The higher the
education, the greater career opportunities waits. Being well - equipped with the
knowledge, experience, and proper attitude in dealing with each matter, we can achieve
the challenges in life. It creates beautiful melodies that lead us to harmony.
B. Rationale for Practice Teaching
What is practice teaching?

“Practice Teaching / teaching by trainee teachers: the part of a student teacher's
training that consists of placement in a school where classroom teaching is undertaken
by the student under the supervision of a certified teacher” (Microsoft Encarta 2009).
Meaning to say, practice teaching is an on-the-job training or internship for 4th
year college students who have chosen education as their field of profession. Practice
Teaching allows the future teachers to apply what they have learned from their major
ship and university to the physical world. It’s the great opportunity to showcase the
general domains that we have embraced, used, and performed during these three years
of professionalism. It engaged the student teachers to experience the actual teaching
and learning environment. This is not just as hard as what have been experienced in the
field study because it is the most complicated part. During the teaching practice,
student teacher undergoes the art of teaching before actually getting into the real world
of the teaching profession. You have to know your place as a “student teacher”- two
words that value dual responsibility. Meaning, our stand is in the middle and there are
limitations on what a student teacher should do in the field. As a consequence, teaching
practice creates a mixture of expectation, apprehension, excitement, enjoyment and
passion in the student teachers as they commence their teaching practice.
What are the benefits you expect to derive from Practice Teaching?
Practice Teaching serves as a real battle field for future teachers. If the field
study serves as our training ground, well I might say that practice teaching is more than
a training ground. I expect to learn further matters, experience, and new prospects for
my improvement. Every 4th year students like me, are looking forward to this course
because this is the most important and uneasy to take. Even from applying forms for
practice teaching, it’s indeed difficult for it requires complete and passing grades from
subjects you have been taken 1st year to 3rd year. Yet, the prerequisite of these
privations is a lot more beneficial since I believe that this will boost my strengths and
develop some of my weaknesses. There are lots of possibilities that teachers might face
unpredicted circumstances every day in the school, classroom environment, with their
co-teachers, with individuals they meet and they come to interact with, with their
families, and other personal matters. How can a student teacher like me enable to
handle those challenges? Am I going to be an effective one? Do I really know what the
course that I’ve entered is? Everyday teachers need to prepare lesson plans, visual aids
regarding the lesson, manage the class, and deal with different types of students and
with their heads. These things cause major distress and without physical, mental, and
social solidity, teachers won’t be able to surpass this.
I am about to enter education as a profession. But there are times I used to ask
myself “Do I deeply understand the nature of this career?” This course requires great
demands. This is not just a job for me to earn money and survive a life. I am not going
to work to manipulate a machine, an apparatus, nor a corporation. There is more
beyond teaching. My job is to manipulate brains, to influence a future, to share my
beliefs, and to create dreams. Teaching is a responsibility and nobility. You will
substitute the role of a parent. A student teacher shall accomplish this role for him to
encourage love, share love, and let them feel their belongingness.
Student teachers are considered as apprentice of a cooperating teacher who are
guiding and assisting them, teachers with expertise and who is already serving for
years. These teachers will guide us in our way, help us in enlightening ourselves for our
own advantage, correct some of our inappropriate actions, give us the necessary
instructions that we must undergo, and help us in understanding by heart that practice
teaching is not merely about completion of our requirements for us to obtain a degree
but it is also about being passionate and dedicated in the profession that we would be
entering and holding for a lifetime
C. Readiness for Practice Teaching
a. What made you take up teaching us a

career?
At first, when I was in high school, I
honestly find teaching as an unexciting career.
It doesn’t take my interest since it troubles me
that if I am going to be a teacher, my upcoming
will be the same from my teachers that time
who always get mad to students, annoyed,
stressed, and burn – out. I’m just a student who loves singing, drawing, dancing, and
other subjects in lined with performing arts. The guts that I have were my talents,
personal relations to people, and my pleasing personality. Ten years from that time, I
see myself as a famous singer in television towards internationally well known.

Suddenly, the wind blows unconditionally different when preparing myself to find a
career. I applied and take the examinations in the course that I’ve really wanted which is
mass communication in Polytechnic University of the Philippines. However, because of
nervousness since it was my first time to take one - hour timed examination, the day
ended unluckily, the result showed what I expected. My parent scolded me because of
what happened and they pressured to pass an another state university examination, at
the same time, clarify to me that if I fail again, they will never enroll me in any college
school because it’s too expensive to study in luxurious universities. Our status is just in
average so we can’t afford those kinds of schools which require costly enrollment fees. I
wanted to cry that time but God still loves me because my cousin refers me to take
qualification exam to Philippine Normal University, the national center for teacher
education. She said there nothing will lose if I’ll just try to accompany her. Why not? I
said to myself. I’m good and skilled in the field of Music, Physical education, and
English. But I prefer the most is to be a Music teacher. I’ve also heard that the choral
group in the Philippine Normal University was internationally well – known and honored
with so many accomplishments. I realized, that If I audition, my skills in music will be
much developed and I can use someday. My days studying at PNU have gotten too
tough because the training deals with too much expectation, indeed pressure, and
humane attitude. PNU hones us to be a good model, knowledgeable leader, towards
effective teacher someday. As time goes by, I understood the prerequisites of education
as career. I accepted the sacrifices, I appreciated the principles, I embraced the general
domain of being a teacher, and most importantly, I enjoyed and loved this profession. I
don’t know what PNU have done to me. What I am thinking right now is how I am going
to thank the professors and doctors who form me to be a noble one. No money or words
can cost their teachings. Even though we’ve been bad students for them, that every
time we meet, keep on scolding us, I believe what they are doing is for our own sake.
Someday I will thank them. I am going to be successful licensed teacher. I really do! I
believe I can be!
Professional Readiness for Practice Teaching
D. The School Environment

The Aurollo National High School is under the public governance located in
United Nation, Taft Avenue, Manila. ANHS took ought for its mission and vision. Its
mission stated- “1. Enhance survival skills, attitudes and values for global
competitiveness; 2. Maintain self – propelled and child – friendly mentors; 3. Establish a
culture of inter dependence among clients and stakeholders”. While their vision
pronounced “Premiere School: Home of world class life long education”. This is where I
am currently taking my on – the – job training. As my observations form everyday work,
I noticed positive and some negative claim for this school. Since this is a public school, I
already prepared myself and as my cooperating teacher oriented me, my expectations
don’t get wrong.
Let me describe the image of
the school with its surroundings. Outside, there is a highway crossing where jeeps,
buses, different private vehicles, and even big ten wheeler trucks are taking the road
every day thus, I found out that it’s very dangerous for the students to cross. There are
also unpermitted street vendors who were selling dirty foods and some other stuff in
front of the school. It may be a cause craving but still, the health of the students is
unpredictable if they usually buy. However, if there are street foods, there are also fast
foods, convenient stores, supermarkets, expensive and non – expensive restaurants
since manila is a place where you can find your needs everywhere. If the school
surroundings are like this, it will be the cause of temptation. Instead of going to school,
students will find it pleasurable if they will just skip classes and go outside for some
reason. Most of my students specially the lower sections, they really love to take cutting
classes and the reason is, they are outside of the school. I might guess what they are
doing but it’s indeed frustrating if I list down one by one.
Inside of the school, you will see three to four story buildings. However, there are
building which is under construction and I can say that it is provided with lower security
from the students’ safety. The trees inside the school are rare but they have garden that
gives relaxing treatment. They have auditoriums and stages where different events are
executed. But most of the time, since classroom are still lacking because of countless
students, classes are performed in this place even if it is inconvenient.
School faculties are numerous in ANHS. Most of them are graduated from
Philippine Normal University that is why it’s inspiring to work with them. They truly
believe on what a PNUAN can do and in our ability. We as music student teachers from
PNU, shall accomplish their expectations and maintain the image that our alumni’s took
care with. It’s complicated especially to those faculties which is hard to deal with. But of
course there are also faculties which is enjoyable to stay with and they are actually
inspiring.
I didn’t assume a lot that ANHS is a beautiful school. This is a public school and I
am a product of it in my place. Of course there are no perfect facilities except private
schools. But as long as the school maintains its cleanliness and orderliness, I believe
that good learning upon students will be acquired.
E. The Classroom Environment
I was assigned to teach twenty two
sections every week. Our classroom is somewhat convenient for it was located in a new
building inside the school. It was facilitated with three electric fans- one ceiling fan, a
stand fan, and one for my cooperating teacher. The blackboard is also appropriate to
use since it is really wide and brand new and it’s comfortable for me to post my visual
aids from time to time. The room is simply painted by white and green colors which
relaxing to the eye while the windows are made of glass that creates elegant looks as
well as the fluorescent lights up above the ceiling. However, our room has no
decoration and as you observe the room, it is evident that the things and other stuffs are
not yet orderly compiled. My cooperating teacher shared to me that he doesn’t yet
spend time for the room’s beautification since he was newly evacuated. Even the choir’s
(organized by my cooperating teacher) gowns and barongs, it was only hanged beside
the windows. My cooperating teacher is currently planning to buy cabinets and some
other utilization for him to manage the orderliness of his stuffs.

The flooring of the room is tiled, and its color is white which I find it very hard to
clean because the dusts are too obvious specially those falling hairs of the students that
used to sweep every day. The two things that I am wishing for my classroom to have
are chairs for my students and a table in front of boards where I can put my visual aids
and other instructional materials. My students have no choice but to have an Indian seat
when we are having classes. I know uncomfortable for them to sit like that is why I told
them to take the risk. The sound inside the room is well projected and I like it but I
mostly hate it when my students become very noisy and their voice is overpowering
mine.
What the most important again is, to keep the classroom maintain its cleanliness
and orderliness make learning convenient and well transmitted. Because the product of
good teaching and learning deals with how the classroom environment being organized.
That is why every day, before and after classes, I used to clean our room and its
inspiring when my cooperating teacher appreciated my effort.

F. Meeting the Pupils/ Students
Let me just first describe the characteristics of the students in the Aurollo
National High School. I can define their students as disrespectful, disgraceful, untidy,
and senseless. That is also the orientation I’ve acquired from my cooperating teacher.
He said, I should never give them pleasing and sweet personality instead, I should act
like a monster that never smile with an
eyebrows crossing each other.
He also state that whenever
students met a teacher, the natural and
humane way of responding is to smile,
give a space, then greet the teacher.
But the thing is, they never do that and
they are not familiar with that. I was
really upset about this because the real me always smile and give my true personality to
others. However, I knew that my cooperating teacher was right. He’s not kidding about
this matter because the time I enter the school for my first day of on – the – job training,
students never recognize me as teacher. Maybe they are acquainted that students
teacher shouldn’t be treated nice since every year, the school have always receiving
student teachers from different universities that is why the students are expert of dealing
with student teachers. They attempted to bump you while walking in the hallways as if
they trying to show that they never fear you. They didn’t even give you a glance when
trying to discipline them unless you scold them. They really loved you to get angry all
the times. When you’re pushing your voice so hardly to get louder to the point of
abusing your throat, they don’t care. Have you ever met a student who always tries to
correct you as if they gazes you so low?, students who are very hyper and mentally
disordered. Isn’t it annoying when you see those judgmental eyes with some deep
meaning that can be predicted as rebelling, teasing, condemning, and so on? How can
you feel at ease when your students are like this? I still remember when my cooperating
teacher advises me; never ever cry in front of your students. I said why? Then my sir
responded that they will only feel
better when they made you cry.
He said I am the authority in the
classroom- one vs. numerous
students? How can I deal with
this? Do anger, punishment, and
bad criticism can be able to
change and disciple them? How?
As I always try to ask myself.

Public school students are very different than students in Private schools. Private
school’s high class and average class of students have a nature in term of discipline,
while in public’s low class student I conditionally saw them hopeless. I am not referring
to all of the students. Of course, there are hopeful ones but the sad part is, I can count
them one by one. Though I am very surprised about their characteristics, I should not
lose hope. I already accomplished the road that they are taking so I know that I am
more knowledgeable than them. And my role is to share that knowledge I have acquired
in my life. I believe that they heart are longing for love and belongingness. If their own
family cannot give these high triumphs, then I shall provide what are their needs. My
heart pounds every time I see those eyes seeking for help. They need a teacher like
me. I’ll never let their madness conquer their heart. If they find me as useless teacher,
well I will change their impression towards me and I never failed to do so. A time goes
by; I know that I’ve already grasps their tickles. Their smiles inspire me, they listen to
me but sometimes not, their senseless jokes make me laugh and I don’t even know how
I did that. All of this is because I pray, and my prayers guide me in educating my
students.
G. Lesson Planning
Importance of a Lesson Plan
A teacher has a twin thing in life and that is the lesson plan. From the word itself,
this serves as a guide script in lined with the whole step by step process of teaching a
lesson. Teacher will be well-prepared during the actual teaching since she has already
an overview of the things to be taught and to be learned every day. A good lesson plan
ensures an efficient execution towards achieving the goals and objectives of a lesson.
Lesson plan also allows teachers to teach in methodical way as it requires to list down
the detailed progression of the lesson from the very beginning up to the last part of the
lesson.
Lesson plan is like a music key which gives general domains where the lesson
should be led. It gives appropriate directions and some adjustments to the teacher since
you don’t even know what will happen in the real execution. Some of the students will
try to distract you so the challenge here for the teacher is how will she maintain her
focus? Tendency, the entire lesson will be bewildered. The lesson plan is the solution
for this kind of problem. This will never allow the lesson to be obstructed just because of
these problems that might occur upon carrying out the lesson. Isn’t it shameful when
you forget some of your lines in from of the student? What if you just memorized
everything and suddenly, your mind get blocked? Again, the aid here is the lesson plan.
Don’t get it wrong! Lesson plan shouldn’t be memorized. It is being relieved freely then
refer back again to the guide. These also functions as an assessment guide for the
teachers to know the weakness or what strategies to be improved as well as the
strength of the lesson or what strategies to be maintained. It simply gives you
suggestions in everyday teachings. If lesson plan is at your side, don’t worry or stop
worrying! It removes away negative vibes from the classroom’s weird aura. In addition
of that, it will give you more power and energy to attain the goals and objectives
efficiently. It adds lots of confidence and willingness since you will never get nervous of
thinking what you are going to do and what will you going to say. Furthermore, well –
accomplished lesson plan inspires you to perform passionately with a sense of
superiority and your entire effort will lead you to a well – systematized lesson.
In teaching as career, it’s like being in a relationship with the lesson plan.
Commitment with this is making an assurance to see you towards success since this is
necessary to make every day.
Type of Lesson Plan Used during Practice Teaching
I was assigned by my cooperating teacher (Mr. Jonathan E. Antonio) to make a
lesson plan in K – 12 format because it was the suggested by the school administration.
I’ve been oriented with this K – 12 lesson plan by Ms. Morales my professor in
Philippine Normal University the time when we are tackling the subject entitled
“strategies in teaching music” and it’s good for me that my cooperating teacher will
broaden up my knowledge since I will be going to make a lesson plan in this format
every day since I find myself a little bit weak in this category for the reason that in PNU,
we are much knowledgeable in making detailed lesson plan, and semi – detailed.
However, because K – 12 curriculum was made, I shall push myself to get virtuoso in
this format. Luckily, Sir Antonio is really a masterminded person in making lesson plan.
This is my opportunity to learn a lot from him but it takes me a hard time to master
because every time I submit my lesson plan, my paper turned into a bloodily flowing ink.
I did nothing but just to smile and tell myself to keep on trying. Mr. Antonio instruct me
that K – 12 lesson plan is almost the same with the UBD’ized lesson plan which is
considered as the most complicated among lesson plans because they are both
requiring numerous process such as conducting different activities. The procedure of K
– 12 lesson plan it that you shall provide the; CONTENT STANDARD: (From the
CG/LM/TG), PERFORMANCE STANDARD: (From the CG/LM/TG), I. OBJECTIVES
(Depend on appropriateness of the lesson for the day taken from the CG/LM/TG so
there’s no need to create), II. CONTENT- under this are A. Subject Matter, B.
Materials/Activities, C. Reference/s or other reference/s. After that is the III. LEARNING
ACTIVITIES, then IV. ASSESSMENT and lastly, V. ASSIGNMENT (optional). A K - 12
lesson plan just shows the step by step procedure of the activities for lesson execution
towards to the entire substance of the lesson.
Effects of a Good Lesson Plan
Is there a perfect lesson plan? As I’ve remembered, my Prof. Morales told us that
there is no lesson plan which is perfectly done. Because the thing is, there is no teacher
have been executed a lesson flawlessly, there is always a hit and a missed. If it is
perfectly done without even a single mistake, then there are no rooms for improvement
unless if the teacher is a genius one.
I will honestly share to you that most of the time, my lesson plan have been
carelessly done. Maybe the reason is, in a subject matter, so many ideas come into my
mind from time to time and it puzzled me up to the limit. Tendency, the focus of the topic
is misleading. Though my ability is frustrating, my cooperating teacher told me “don’t
think too much broaden because your students are not music major like you. Try to
make your ideas simply and specific and consider the abilities of your students. Let
them enjoy the lesson don’t pressure them too much just to understand you. Just give
them event just a hint of values integration and trust, that is the thing that will retain in
their minds”. Therefore, I conclude that a good lesson plan contains values. The effect
is that, students will surely forget the content of the subject matter that have been teach
to them but the values that have been instilled to their minds, that is their pathway to
apply what have been teach to them. That is the true essence of education. So give
some time to create a good lesson plan, an impressive one, and it surely gives you a
more rewarding and satisfying feeling. That is the time where you can conclude that you
are an efficient and effective teacher.
Here is my K – 12 based lesson plans and my cooperating teacher usually
checks it through email while some of my lesson plans are hand written.
H. Teaching Strategies
As a music teacher, I really have to
deal with very good teaching strategies
since most of the students consider music
as an easy subject which is uninteresting.
The solution here is to think effective
strategies. Teaching strategies are very important medium towards the success of
executing lessons. This should be studied carefully and without experience, you can
never prove if a certain strategy is effective. Do methods of teaching can be performed
spontaneously? definitely not. This requires critical thinking and deep considerations
among students’ intellectual abilities. Every day, teachers met different students with
also different intellectual abilities. Observe carefully their way of learning. Are they fast
learners? Average learners? Or slow learners? Still, they are learners. Teacher should
reflect on this equally and make sure that all of the students shall benefit with the kind of
strategy being conducted. Just imagine those student who scratch their head when their
listening, those who nod at you and say aah… even though they do not understand you,
and some bothering students whose mind is floating in the air. Another consideration is
the teacher itself who’s delivering the strategy. Although the strategy sounds very good,
it still be useless especially when the delivery is dull. Teacher must be jolly up to the
point where you use your talent in acting and most importantly, used her confidence to
the fullest so that the students will possibly absorb you’re energy. In order to facilitate
effective learning, the teacher itself should be skilled enough and choose her most
excellent field to apply it in her strategy. A strategy should also be compatible with the
classroom capability. Do not be so unrealistic. With the resource provided, limited or
not, this is also part of considerations otherwise, teacher should manage her
resourcefulness. Music is a subject that in need with instruments, speakers, audio
players, pieces, and so on. This will challenge a music teacher like me in lined with my
resourcefulness that is why I was told by my C.T. to invest because part of my
strategies, are the effective learning materials. Both learning materials and strategy are
interrelated with each other. And the last, strategies must be student – centered all the
time. Think always for the benefit of the students where in everybody shall be
cooperative since this is the value that need to be imposed.
I. Instructional Materials
Students are visually
motivated in terms of learning. You
can definitely catch their attention if
the visual aids are creatively

managed. After a teacher planned for a particular strategy, it is very important for her to
think of suitable resources that she will use for instructional materials. Because of that,
the strategy will absolutely become more meaningful, effective, and absorbable by the
students. They may not understand what you are saying for the reason that, most of the
time, they don’t care but once you have catches their attention and discussion will be
more interactive. Visual aids, charts, graphs, pictures, textbooks, handouts, worksheets,
printed materials, graphic materials, videos, and multi – media presentations are some
of the examples of instructional materials. However, in music, instructional materials
depend on the musical instruments like piano, guitar, which is commonly used in class,
and most importantly the musical piece or notation. If students are not exposed with
these instructional materials, the teaching and learning process are low. When
introducing a song to study, teacher should have speakers for her to present an audio
material. How can they understand music without listening unto it? Teachers really rely
their lesson to instructional materials. This can be an aid for assessing prior knowledge
of the students through describing its
contents which is basically considered as a
new innovative way of assessing student’s
performances.
In Aurollo National High School, I
didn’t see any faculty who are using LCD
projector. Most of them they use traditional
instructional materials while some, they use their personal laptop and stuffs like lapel.
Since ANHS do not have enough funds for proving these expensive instructional
materials, I might say that learning is less competitive / technologically proficient. But I
know that faculties are trying their best that they can do to teach even without these
kinds of materials. In my teaching experience in this school, I honestly say that it was
really hard to teach since I am just barrowing a speaker from dance troupe department
every time. If it is not available, I bring my own netbook and speakers which I invested
for I know that it’ll be useful. I often use manila paper, cartolina, colored papers, pictures
and other traditional materials in my teaching.
J. The Art of Questioning
Being a trainee teacher, I am quite unaware on the techniques on how I am I
going to throw questions to my students since it is requiring lots of experience upon
interacting with students. How am I going to let my students feel free upon reacting on
my questions as well as asking their confusions upon the lesson? This should be aided
through the art of questioning.
Questions are used in many aspects of teaching and learning. This is not only
addressed for the teachers but also for the students you are interacting with, who have
doubts in their mind and who wanted to know more about the topic. It is merely part of
assessment. A competent teacher should never proceed to the next topic without
assimilating if the students really have learned something within her past lesson.
Questions also promote class participation where in you can figure out if students find
difficulty in learning the subject. Through this, teacher can determine what the best
strategy that’s applicable is and rate its productivity. During my actual teaching
experience, I have learned that questioning challenge critical thinking skills where in you
should know how to defend back to students what is your expected answer. However
don’t ever neglect the wrong answers from the students because this is indeed
important. That means, they are putting an effort just to acquire the correct answer.
And as I always remember, teachers can freely choose which part of the lesson they
are going to throw questions. It can be for introductory, where in you give students a
hint on what is the topic are heading to then let them discover the subject matter; for
developmental, in which a teacher is trying to enrich the discussion and at the same
time, guide the learners to focus on a certain topic; then for summary of conclusion, as
you integrate values within the answers of the learners so that their interest and
curiosity arouses even more.
K. Working with Cooperating Teachers
I proudly represent to you my very handsome,
intelligent, cool, talented, and Godly oriented
cooperating teacher namely, Mr. Jonathan E. Antonio-
conductor of an award winning competitive choir-
ANHS Chorale, Philippine Normal University Rondalla
Alumni, Secondary Level and College Instructor,
Teacher 2, graduated from Philippine Normal
University, and currently taking up Master’s Degree in
the same school which he was graduated. These acknowledgements are merely the
once he shared to me. I know that there is lot more than this. He also told me that often
invited to be a speaker in such big events and seminars considering the audiences have
older job experience than him with higher degree of accomplishments. In spite of this,
his knowledge and skills are still valuable for these Professional people, and Sir Jon
never fail for these job because it’s his passion even though at first, he badly want to be
an architect.
Working with him is really fun. In PNU, we have a Rondalla subject and he was
already my Professor before and I am his past student. But know, this is a different
thing. I am now his student
teacher. He had given me
different complicated task to the
point that it’s so tiring and my
tears nearly run. But instead of
claiming in front of him, I never
let him get disappointed with me. The
product of PNU have been molded his trust.
His past student teachers such as Ma’am
Charm, Ma’am K.J, and Sir, Roger build this
kind of impression to him and to the school.
Therefore, it is my responsibility to maintain
his trust and defend the impression of
ANHS for the music student teachers.

I totally felt acceptance and great appreciation of effort from him. Even though
I’ve shown him my true abilities that I am not that so knowledgeable, intelligent, skillful,
and so on, he still handled me with full of gratitude and trust that I can do everything. I
remembered when our supervisor Miss Morales send a message to Sir Jon that we
student teacher was going to demonstrate surprisingly, a night before tomorrow, I was
nervous and look at myself so downed because of thinking that I cannot do that, then
Sir Jon said “You can do it!”- With conviction. I was overwhelmed and he boosts up my
confidence to the highest level. I will also never forget how he instructed, and give
comments and suggestions regarding of my teaching skill. I never felt being personally
assessed and criticized. There are times when he disciplines me why I am late in
passing some of my lesson plans and also there are times which he gives me
motivating words such as acknowledging my good performance. What I liked the most
is that, he never let me recognize that he was observing me since he is acting like so
busy in his desk. After a lesson, I was surprised for he has already assessed my
teaching performance. By this strategy, I’ve realized that he never wants me to feel
nervous and uncomfortable in the actual execution.
It’s been a nice time being his student teacher. I’ve learned a lot from him and I’m
so lucky for he is the one who became my cooperating teacher.
L. Classroom Management/ Discipline
There are many scenarios that are unpredictable inside the classroom. Most of
the time, this happenings are the cause of interruption for the teachers. Upon thinking a
strategy, the very important thing is how you will manage the class for the whole period
of time. Yes, it is natural for the students to misbehave so the teacher should be
responsible in disciplining them. Teacher must establish authority. Students are wise in
cheating and in any deceitful act towards the teachers. I shall never tolerate them. From
time to time I used to correct their wrong manners, lower or higher section; they are
almost the same in their conduct as what I’ve been experienced in my classroom. I don’t
want them to pass my subject without learning anything to me most especially the
values which I always emphasizing to them. Every day, I used to check their
attendance. If a student is always absent, I’m always asking his/her classmates what is
the reason. Some are having cutting classes, some are excused, some are sick, and
other problems with unreasonable excused. At the end, if they still continue their bad
habits, I told them that they deserve failing grade.
Since my subject is to teach music, it’s a big challenge for me to require my
students to sing. Their habit is to laugh at each other every time. Once I demonstrate
how to sing, they used to clap their hands for me. Some of them are shouting and do
not taking our activity seriously. What I did is to ask those students to sing in solo in
front of the class which they find it so shameful. Noise and hyper activeness are also a
big problem; moreover, they always wanted to answer me in chorus. Since my voice is
sometimes not well – projected tendency, they are overpowering my voice and it’s hard
to fight them back by pushing my throat to its limit. Staring at them with an angry eye is
a nice strategy, waiting them to be sensitive, then, they will keep quiet.
However, in a public school like ANHS, students are not sensitive, they are
beyond unmannerly oriented. I shall conclude that with those students, punishment is
the best way to disciple them. In my point of view, I am agree with corporal punishment
but since it is prohibited for this generation, school permitted punishments shall be
given such as, community service, confiscating the ID, etc., and calling their parents to
the guidance office. Likewise, teachers shall never get the wrong way of punishing their
students. Because it might be a cause of lowering their self – esteem and just make
them continue misbehaving repeatedly, to the point that they are getting worse than
before. If they are being scolded all the time, their eagerness to study will lessen. At the
end, It is the teacher’s fault for humiliating God’s children.
M. Auxiliary Service
I have been teaching in ANHS for
the months of November and December.
This is the months where school activities
and programs are being executed. My
cooperating teacher require me to join
with this since his choir are always apart
of these events. The first one that we
have joined is the “RICE CEREMONY”
held in Luneta Park. Since the schools within the division of manila area are invited,
most of the participants of the program came from these areas. Dance contest are
executed, while the highlight of the program it harvesting the rice. This celebration is for
their 100th annual anniversary of rice harvesting. Next is the “TECHNOLYMPICS”
Division area. At the opening ceremony of this event, Sir Antonio’s choir is invited to
sing the National Anthem of the Philippines, prayer, and intermission numbers. He
asked me to conduct his choir. This is a good opportunity for me to apply my knowledge
in choir conducting. After this, the choir joined the annual chorale competition organized
by “HALLMARK’S MEMORIES”. I am the apprentice of Sir Antonio for training his choir.
In the elimination round, we won 5,000 php and recognized as one of the finalist.
However, in the final round, we don’t know what happened on the judges’ criteria if it is
really followed or not? We also don’t even know what happened to the judges’ ear that
time because the one who won doesn’t deserve to be a winner. The well performance of
our choir made us expect that we are going to win compare with the other choirs. But
this incident happened and I’m so very sad for our choir. Same incident happened with
the “OCEAN PARK CHORAL COMPETITION” held in Manila. It’s an open category and
we also expect a win since we did our best. Still, we loose and it’s really awful because
in this day, it’s Sir Antonio’s birthday.
Then the very significant event
every December has come. This is the
annual “CHRISTMAS CANTATA” we
practice teachers are the one who
serve and practiced the students to
sing beautifully and lively for this day.
We also facilitated the program so that
it will be well organized. Students per year level have their own intermission numbers
then after that, they will simultaneously sing together; Grade 7 students sang-
Payapang Daigdig, Grade 8 sang- Pastol, pastol gumising, 3rd Year sang- Oh Magsaya,
while the 4th year sang Tanging Gabi. As a grand finale, they all sing Noche Buena,
Pasko na Naman, and Ang Pasko ay
Sumapit. This Christmas cantata will serve
as their projects since they also buy a
santa hat that we required them to have
for this special event. I listed only
important events but there are actually

many school events that we’ve been participated.
N. Getting Acquainted with School Forms
I have been told by my cooperating teacher that school forms are the essential
records kept by the school. He introduced to me the cumulative records of his students
or basically, their student’s profile. Aside from that, he showed me the Form 137 and
Form 138 and explained its purpose. Assessing the students are not just done in the
classroom. Through school records, you can assess the students by monitoring their
basic information. Moreover, it serves as a tracing instrument for determining their
health problems, and other problems that concerns you most. If you really want to know
a student deeper, school records will help you understand everything about him.
Enriching our discussion with my cooperating teacher, he stated that Form 137 is the
schools file collection of students’ grades card. Form their lowest grade level of learning,
up to the highest prior to the present. A school will not consider a student certifiably
enrolled without his Form 137. It is being requested by the school to transfer it to them
once a student is going to collegiate level or will transfer to another school.
Furthermore, this form is also the best way upon determining who will be given special
awards such as academic topnotches, honorariums, and other recognition. On the other
hand, Sir Antonio presented to me the Form 138 which contains the grade of the
students from a particular year level. It is the card given by the adviser and the end of
the grading period after evaluating their students’ academic performance. As parents
are concerns, the suggestion and comments of the adviser are cited in this card.
O. Conference
A student teacher’s performance is being evaluated by the cooperating teacher.
At the end of the training as she execute the final demo, she’s performance reflects on
how a cooperating teacher monitor his student. A conference is a form of assessment
and constructive criticism. This is for the sake of student teacher’s further development.
Sir Antonio has his own way of observing my performance. In his table, I usually noticed
him doing something and busy while me, is concentrating with my report. At the end of
my demonstration, when the students are dismissed, he will come after me and deliver
his comments and suggestions. He always wrote it on a yellow sticky note even though
I never seen he’s writing it. Apart from that, he is very nice when he is mentioning his
remarks. I never felt that I am being downed or much criticized wherein he’s focus is just
to correct my wrongs without being personally condemned. I’m feeling free and at ease
every time I used to ask question to feed my curiosity. Having conference with him is
really fun. I never get scolded instead; he always used to laugh at me whenever I did
foolish things in my job. Because of that, I was really inspired and promised to myself
not to repeat that again yet, do what he wanted be to do, and obey it wisely, intelligently,
and carefully. Aside from conference, he gave advice as if I felt that he’s my elder
brother and even if it’s short words of wisdom, it’s truly means a lot and overwhelming to
the point that it brings out the best of me and I told myself that I shall hold his trust so
tight. That is why at the end of the teaching day, even if it is so tiring, I used to go home
well encouraged to be a teacher.

After the performance, Sir Antonio

that is also the comment of his co –

is a different matter considering that
he is not my cooperating teacher.
What happened is, I used to come to
school early, so that I can do my
works and finish it. But I was
surprised, when he go to my room
and tell me that I should teach his
students for cantata. Maybe if he
favoured me in a pleasing ways, I
can accept his command. But the
thing is, he scolded me for the
reason that I am cleaning my room
instead of teaching his class for
cantata. I’m just trying to understand
him even if it is unjustifiable. Maybe
he is pressured for being an
organizer for the Christmas cantata.

III. Statement of the Problem
The most undesirable section among Grade 7 students in Aurollo High School
is the “Grade 7 – SAKAY”. Sections that begins with letter S – means the
lowest section and Mr. Lenard Belen belongs to this section. Boys are rare in
this section. I can only saw 3 – 4 boys attending the class and the rest is 5 –
10 girls considering that the total number of students in their section is
maximum of 40 students. As I observe him during our classes, he is quite
uncomfortable with his classmates. He also didn’t communicate with them.
Even in recitation, he is not cooperating yet his academic standing according
to my records is overwhelming. I noticed that he didn’t also smile. I saw
something beyond of his sadness. That is why I am very curious about this
child. He is not like the other student who in average and higher status in life.
His family and he have below status in this society.
IV. Examination and Diagnosis
a. Interview with student
When I am interacting with him, I’ve perceived that he is type of person

that has shy type personality. He is simple. I can describe him like the leaves of
makahiya. He is quite unease when I am talking to him that is why I told him to
pretend that I am his elder sister that time.
The first question I’ve asked him is about his problems towards his
classmates. He told me that he didn’t want the characters of his classmates and
he has no choice. He honestly said the classmates are bad influence; fraternity
oriented, and has a very low dedication to study that is why he keeps distance
from them. Even actually the girls in their section, they act unmannerly; putting
red seductive lipsticks considering that they are too young, their nails are long
with dark coloured cu tics, hair is tangled high and distorted, and keeps on
displaying their tongues.
I also asked how about the impression of teachers towards your section?
Did they generalize the bad people among you? If yes, how much are you
affected into it? He said that he was really affected unto it most especially to
those teachers who don’t want to teach them instead, always leaving them visual
aids to just copy. He also said that it is learning and studying is really hard since
he had those kinds of classmates which pull him down.
Another question I thrown is, who among your classmates do you find the
most accountable? Then he stated, it was Mr. Amodia his best friend. They are
the same have good academic standing in my class. He have shared to me that
they have also the same dream of attaining high education. That is why they are
helping each other to pulling their best upward in spite of being influenced by
their bad classmates.
Are you getting bullied?- He said yes, by his former classmates who are
now dropped because of not attending the classes.
Do you feel any hatred towards you classmates who have crab mentality?-
Yes at sometimes, when they are getting involved with the wickedness of his
classmates. He said.
How about in your teachers? Do you have hard feelings towards them?-
Yes ma’am specially when to those teachers who are getting tired of teaching
them. He explains that because there is only small number of students attending
classes, teachers are getting tired of teaching them.
Do you encountered family problems?- I have separated parents. My
father is living with other woman. He only sends money to us. There are times
that my mom can’t give my school need because my father didn’t sent money
yet. And the most awful one is his little one year old sister who is sometimes
can’t take her milks because his father can’t give them money right away
Now, Do you have a dream? Yes ma’am, someday, I am going to be a
pilot and a responsible father for my future family.

IX. Statement of the Problem

The child belongs to a lower section which is known as the most unpleasant section in the
fourth year level. Despite of their record, I have observed that this child is the only boy who
has sense of respect towards their teachers. He listens and responds very well.
X. Examination and Diagnosis

f. Interview with student
I interviewed him one time after the class. I asked him basic questions until it came to a
point when I ask him why he chooses to stay with the girls than staying with the boys.
He revealed to me that he is adopted. No one knows it except for me and his two
friends. He cried in front of me because somehow he is still longing for his real mother.
He also told me that when he was born, his real mother gave him to a friend who takes
care of him now. The reason of living him is because his biological father left them
without any support. He was also informed that he has older sister. Now he was told by
somebody that he will be secured with the care of a woman or a girl.
With his step parents, he is not close to his stepfather. He shared that he was
called “bobo” when he commits mistake but he was financially supported by his
stepfather. When I asked him about his relationship with his mother, he shared that he
is much closer to her. He was emotionally supported by her mother.

XI. Treatment or Remedies Applied

I make it sure that he will be consistent in responding. When I talked to him, I told him
that he should keep going because he is a very good boy. I told him everything about his
positive side which I usually see. Then I told him that he must not feel anger whatever
happens. That he may not trigger it in his heart but may he choose to face it in a positive
way. Mostly, I told him to pray and ask for God’s guidance.
XII. Evaluation
He said in our last meeting that he will continue his studies and he will take education as his
course because he is overwhelmed when he sees his little sister learning when he teaches
her. It only means that this child has ability that no one notices. He said that he want to
prove himself someday to his real family. He still looks forward to see them. And when I told
him to pray always, he said that he always does.
