For this blog, I'll talk about my views and if my cooperating teacher possess traits of a 21st century teacher.

 Change is the only thing that is permanent in this world. With that I would say that the students in world is constantly changing and as teachers we too should adapt to change. We are now in the computer age wherein we tend to enjoy luxuries of communicating people through screen, using social media such as facebook, twitter, etc. as a platform

A 21st century teacher should know how to handle students who are more advanced in technology knowledge. For me, as 21st century teacher, one must learn how to adapt new knowledge in using technology. In this way, they can incorporate the use of multimedia in teaching and the new curriculum to be used. 

 Learning more about teaching strategies using multimedia is a challenge. Being an educator of the 21st century learner like a though task but they should be open to learn and to always take this on the positive side. 

 One must also be a visionary and a collaborator, for them to imbibe creative, imaginative and interactive way of learning in class. A teacher that promotes collaboration in learning lets the students freely share their ideas and insights. 

 One must also be a risk taker and a communicator. An educator that is ready to take challenges in the future as well as a communicator that deliver lessons efficiently. 

 Of course they too should be a learner and a model, one who continuously seek learning for change and learn to model learning and good characteristics. 

 They should also be globally aware, to be able to  promote equality of learning in the class. 

 Last but not the least, one must be a leader, that knows how to knowledgeable enough to handle situation and adapt to new world of learning.

Teacher of 21st century should make a difference, and be ready to face challenges that may arise.

For all the traits I have mentioned, I believe that my cooperating teacher possess them. On the other hand, as a seasoned faculty member I think she needs to incorporate the use of technology in order for her class to be more collaborative and appropriate for the learners.

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
