Wong #1: Stages of teaching


On our field study class last Wednesday June 27, 2018, we watched a video discussed by Mr. Harry Wong about teaching. Mr. Wong talked about the things that a teacher must grasp in order to be an effective teacher. The role of a teacher is to let students learn and develop their own abilities by guiding them throughout the process. However, teaching is not just all fun. Teachers also encounter hardships besides teaching their learners especially on their early years of teaching. In the said video, he discussed stages of teaching that a teacher experience on their journey on becoming one of the acknowledged teachers in the future. 

(REALITY)

The first stage was "fantasy".  In this stage, teachers are very idealistic about teaching, they'll imagine students who are really cooperative and eager to learn, lessons going smooth as what he/she planned and a lot of good things they can imagine happening in a classroom. Though these things might happen in reality, teachers must remember to expect the unexpected as opposite of the things mentioned above might happen instead. 

After fantasizing, a teacher realizes that ideals are just ideals and things may not come as what they wanted so they'll find ways to just survive the day. With this, our next stage is born which is the "survival" stage. On this stage most teachers really lean on books, quizzes, exams, lectures given after each lessons to survive the day. This method makes things boring so while at this stage teachers must discover things that can attract the attention of students. They should make each lesson interesting, for the students to understand lessons   and be able to interact with one another more. 

There's always a rainbow after every rain. After the struggles on the stages of teaching, through time and experience, teachers will eventually master their subject and they'll be able to have good classroom management making it possible for them to teach well and be known in the future. Teachers should also remind themselves to always let their students flourish their full potential by guiding them on every step of the way.

Educational System: (Rafael L. Lazatin Memorial High School)

RLLMHS's official logo with its official slogan For my blog today, I'll be talking about the educational system of Rafael L. Lazatin Memorial High School (RLLMHS). For a short background, RLLMHSformerly known as Balibago High School is located at  at Pabalan st., Don Pepe Subd, Balibago, Angeles City, Pampanga. It is the school   where I studied secondary education, my alma mater and the school where I'm currently observing.  Now, lets move on to its educational system. The school follows the k-12 curriculum as mandated by DepEd but only offers education to junior high school (JHS) and senior high school (SHS) students.  Kapampangan, Filipino, and English are oftentimes used as the teacher's medium of instruction in the school.   Because of the school's lack of classroom facility, the school build an extension at Quezon New Valley St. in Brgy. Balibago, where grade 10 students and SHS students go. The School also has shifting schedules. In the main buildi

Educational Philosophy (An essentialist)

"Books are reliable"-Mrs. Dizon Last Thursday (August 16, 2018) on my field study observation, I got the chance to interview my cooperating teacher Mrs. Dizon Mrs. Dizon is a grade 7 teacher at RLLMHS, where I'm currently observing. She was a grade 10 teacher in the past, but due to a task that was given to her (reading remediation on grade 7 students), she was then transferred to teach in grade 7. Upon observing her, she was really calm when she teaches. Her voice is somewhat soft but still reaches up to the back part of the classroom, which I find interesting because on my observation her voice is really soft. She believes that being able to know the basic skills is very essential in learning. She said that she often use books in delivering her lessons as she finds books reliable. As a seasoned teacher, she stated that students in earlier times are more polite and concentrated in studying whereas students now are distracted from a lot of things such as havin

about the blogger:  Joanna Marie Sasi Dyguazo       Annyeong chinggudeul!! or should I say, Hello readers! I'm Joanna Marie Dyguazo, also known as Joanna or  "jo" by my family and friends. I'm a 4th yr education student studying at Holy Angel University (HAU). I live in  Pampanga together with my mother,  older brother and younger sister.    During my spare time, I like to read, listen to music (specially kpop-korean pop music), watch kdramas (korean dramas) as well as horror, thriller and sci-fi (science-fiction) types of films. Becoming a teacher is  my least chosen, initially I'll have little interest on the course. But as   cliché  as it is, I had learned to love my chosen profession little by little as time passes by.  "The best teachers teach from the heart, not from the book."  In order to be effective on the field that you wish to pursue, I believe that you must study and observe how other people in that field do it. You must also
