INTRODUCTION The COVID 19 Pandemic altered our educational system in terms of learning styles. Despite the difficulties brought on by our current situation, the Department of Education was forced to implement Modular distance learning to ensure the continuous acquisition of learning. We have seen resourceful procedures in support of education and training continuity: from the use of the internet, radio, television, and modules that can be brought home.

However, I am grateful to West Visayas State University for providing us with the opportunity to participate in a teaching internship. It allows us to grow and learn more. This class has been a fantastic learning experience for me for the first half of the semester. By witnessing and conducting a class and working with the teachers on the field, this course allows me to enhance my abilities, competences, and attitudes in a real-world setting.

It provided me with training and prepared me for my future profession.

On the next pages, are the compilation of the works that I have put together from the previous topics. It was such an enlightening experience working on different tasks for I was able to understand more what does it takes to become an effective teacher using different classroom management and teaching and learning strategies.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT I respectfully express my gratitude and appreciation to West Visayas State University for accepting us and allowing us to participate in a fun and productive internship. Thank you so much, Ma'am Laden Jane Caalem and Sir Regie Palmos, for all of the lessons, guidance, and support you have given me along this trip.

I'd also like to thank our teacher coordinators, Ma'am Basbas and Ma'am Pineda, for always being accessible to assist. Thank you for sharing your experiences with us, which encourages us to keep positive no matter what.

Thank you for your unending love and support, both financially and emotionally, to my parents. Your assistance and direction got me through every level of this internship.

Finally, I give thanks to God for allowing me to overcome all of my challenges. Day by day, I have felt your guiding. You were the one who allowed me to complete this course. I will continue to put my faith in you for my future.

PRAYER OF A PRACTICE TEACHER Dear God, Please shower your wisdom on our educators. Prepare their hearts to accept and love our loved ones, and may we reciprocate with love and respect. Give them grace as they assist struggling pupils, courage to say what needs to be said, tools and information about how and when to speak love, and strength when they are feeling weak. Remind them that no moment goes forgotten when they feel invisible. Every day, they are influencing the future in a million subtle yet significant ways. We are grateful beyond words for the gift of education they have given to our children. Lord, bless them, and may they see even a glimpse of how their faithfulness will benefit future generations.

Amen.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY AS A BEGINNING TEACHER I believe that every child Possesses a natural desire to learn and the ability to learn.

His/her environment can impact him/her, but not completely.

Each child is unique, comparing them to other children is pointless.

Has a mind that is not empty, but rather full of ideas, and it is my job to draw these thoughts out.

In changing times, I believe there are immutable values that must be handed on to every child through modeling, value inculcation, and value integration in my lessons.

As a teacher, I feel it is my responsibility to help each individual develop his or her full potential by:

reaching out to all children without prejudice or bias towards the "least" among them. ensuring that every child feels good and secure about himself or herself as a result of classroom achievement. helping every child master the basics skills of reading, communicating in oral and written form, arithmetic and computer skills. teaching my subject matter with mastery so that every child will use his/her basic skills to continue acquiring knowledge, skills and values for him/her to go beyond basic literacy and basic numeracy. inculcating or integrating the unchanging values of respect, honestly, love and care for others regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality and economic status in my lessons. consistently practicing these values to serve as model for every child.

A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE TEACHING INTERNSHIP EXPERIENCES AND IMPRESSIONS This teaching internship allows practice teachers like me to apply what I've learned in our teacher education degree in a elementary classroom, as well as to enhance our knowledge via hands-on experience working with children. It is very hard and challenging to face and handle diffirent students but seeing my students enjoying my class, gaining knowedge and skills is a wonderful experinces and fulfillment for me. This internship made me realize that being a teacher is not just a job but it is a human service that must be considered a mission.

PROFESSIONAL READINGS A Study that Focuses on How to Improve the Teaching of Reading https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1132&context=teachlearnfacpub

SUMMARY: In this article, we describe the reading practices in a public and high-achieving 6th grade English classroom in the Philippines. By utilizing a four resources model, we discuss the different roles that students assume in this classroom. Students in this class are mainly code breakers and text users and have limited opportunities to assume the other two roles of the four resources model. This case study provides a different view of reading, specifically a view of a culture of reading wherein higher status is given to oral reading performance rather than comprehension. We describe the way a high-achieving 6th gradePhilippine classroom perceives reading. Through this article, we would like to contribute to the research literature on Philippine education and increase our knowledge of reading practices as they are conceived and practiced in thisparticular classroom.

REFLECTION: This study shared another view of reading instruction. We can see that in this setting, reading is perceived as an oral performance activity by Filipino students because reading aloud is used frequently to negotiate the lack of resources in Philippine public schools. Comprehension does not matter as much to these students; rather, they are concerned with how they are perceived as oral readers in English, which is their second language. This case study findings provide a different view of reading, specifically a view of a culture of reading wherein higher status is given to oral performance rather than comprehension or fluency. students and teacher privileged correct pronunciation and reading correctly aloud —getting the accent right determined who the best students were in the class.

PROFESSIONAL READINGS The Positive Effects of Teaching and Student Learning https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED554557.pdf

SUMMARY: Technology has a positive impact on student learning. Technology causes students to be more engaged; thus, students often retain more information.

Because of the arrival of new technologies rapidly occurring globally, technology is relevant to the students. Technology provides meaningful learning experiences.

Technology also provides hands-on learning opportunities that can be integrated into all school curricular areas, including mathematics, reading, science, and social studies as well as other academic subjects. It gives students opportunities to collaborate with their peers resulting in learning from each other. These factors combined can lead on student learning and motivation.

The Common Core Standards require more technology integration than the Arknansas Frameworks required (B. Tyler personal communication on September 8, 2014). For this reason, technology integration is becoming more important in public schools. Students are now having to become more confident using computers. In addition, the Common Core Standards include many standards that require technology use by students, beginning at Kindergarten level, in order for standards to be met. Essentially, this means that all classrooms and students will be required to integrate technology in order to meet standards.

Another reason technology is a factor improving learning is the fact that technology is becoming such an integral part of our everyday world. Students and adults are using technology on a daily basis to communicate, get information in multiple ways. The prevalent daily use of technology in people’s lives overall makes the use of technology very relevant to the students and provides a connection that will greatly benefit student learning.

PROFESSIONAL READINGS The Positive Effects of Teaching and Student Learning Students live today in a very technological world. Most students use some form of technology on a daily basis including: texting, social networking, and web surfing. Students see these type of technologies as useful and extremely enjoyable.

These very same students that are accustomed to these types of technologies will relate to using technology at school. If their learning environment mirrors the ways in which they engage within the world, they will excel in their education (Christen, 2009). Technology can transform the classroom into an interactive learning environment.

Many studies have shown the advantages of using technology in classroom instruction. Technology can be used as a tool for establishing meaningful projects to engage students in critical thinking and problem solving. Technology can be used to restructure and redesign the classroom to produce an environment that promotes the development of higher-order thinking skills (Kurt, 2010).

The evidence in this paper shows that technology has a positive effect on student learning expectations and outcomes. Evidence also shows that technology integration is becoming more common in public and private schools. Technology integration is shown to be effective in all age groups and is also shown to be helpful for students with special learning needs. To reiterate, technology integration has the following benefits: 1) increased student motivation; 2) increased student engagement; 3) increased student collaboration; 4) increased hands-on learning opportunities; 5) allows learning at all levels; 6) increased confidence in students, and 6) increased technology skills.

PROFESSIONAL READINGS The Positive Effects of Teaching and Student Learning REFLECTION: Learning with technology has become essential in today’s schools.

Worldwide, governments, education systems, researchers, school leaders, teachers, and parents consider technology to be a critical part of a child’s education. The role of technology has been included as a part of the curriculum, as an instructional delivery system, as a means of aiding instruction, and also as a tool to enhance the entire learning process. Technology has already been present at every classroom setting, and there’s no doubt that technology has been a great and a helpful tool, especially for teachers in delivering their lessons. Instead of sticking into traditional way of teaching, teachers has developed technological skills and equipped themselves with different educational tools that can support their teaching strategies, in teaching 21st century learners. Also, technology has been a tool for learners in providing an easy-to-access information, accelerated learning, and fun opportunities to practice what they learn. Especially in today’s school setting, where face-to-face classes are prohibited due to the pandemic, teachers and students had no choice but to use technology as a means of communication, through online class. Technology enables online education, distance learning and access up-to-date information. Also, because each learner interprets information differently, technology can enable more research into subjects that are more difficult to learn.

WEEKLY REFLECTION JOURNAL

WEEK 1 My week began with a briefing on our practice teaching schedule for the remainder of the semester. My feelings are a mix of excitement, happiness, and a little bit of worry since, after how many years in college, I will now have real-world experience working with students. I was also relieved to see the faces of my friends and classmates once more. During the orientation, we talked about what a practice teacher should look like, act like, and engage with the students, instructors, and community. This semester and our internship are undeniably the things that all education students, including myself, are most looking forward to. Apart from that, it would help us get closer to our objective. It will also allow us to become better equipped, knowledgeable, and talented for our future careers. Furthermore, after how many years of tolerating the online class, this is an excellent time for us to research and become acquainted with our chosen career.

WEEK 2 For the 2nd week , I'm assigned to make a lesson plan for my Grade 4-Araling Panlipunan class.

This is challenge because this is my first time to teach an AP class, so I really need to prepare myself and the materials like Powerpoint presentation. There is also a class observation to our fellow practice teachers (Sir Danrey). It is very helpful because we can learn something from them which we can use in our class. I also spent my time collecting pictures and videos that I need in my presentation. This is also a interesting and fruitful week for me.

WEEK 3 February 28, 2022 this is the last day of the month and this my second time to teach Araling Panlipunan class with Grade 4. This week ,I feel more confident in my class compared last week because I have now the idea on how to present and discuss the lesson properly. I have also observed 4 classes with my fellow practice teachers. Whenever i have a free time, I check 'my student's assignments and task and return it right away and sometimes I watch videos in YouTube that are related to the topic that I will discuss for further ideas and knowledge.

WEEK 4 Another start of a busy week. I make a lesson plan for Art VI, observe classes, collect pictures and videos needed in my presentation and make I make my Powerpoint after I gathered my materials. We also have a meeting with our cooperating teachers for the updates, concerns and suggestions of the ongoing classes and duties. We also prepared ourselves because we will meet our teachers next and we will have our face to face class demonstration.

WEEK 5 In this week, we conduct a synchronous online meeting with our research adviser ma'am Pineda to discuss our plans and schedule to start our Classroom Based Action Research. There is also a town hall meeting that we attended. I spent my time making my instructional materials for our face to face demonstration. On the last of the week we met our cooperating teachers personally and we conduct our demo. I am happy that I enter the university again after a long time and it is nice to see my fellow practice teachers and my classmates. This is such a memorable and productive day for everyone.

WEEK 6 Our cooperating teacher told us that we need solve the grades of our students because the 3rd grading period has ended. We also update and check the activities of those students who passed their work late. I realized that it is very hard to be teacher because you used your time whenever you have vacant time so that your work will not pile up. I also make another lesson plan for Grade 6 as a preparation for the next class. Before the week ends I met my research groupmates for the continuation of our CBAR.

WEEK 7 Last week of the month, I focus first on revising and checking my lesson plan for the next class and after that I collect pictures and videos for my presentation. I also solved the grades of my student's and return their activities. We conduct a face to face meeting with our cooperating teachers because this will the end of our first shift. For almost two months we really learned a lot because of our online classes and synchronous meeting with our fellow practice teachers and cooperating teacher Ma'am Laden and Ma'am Jamero.

WEEK 8 This is the start of our second shift, I communicate with my cooperating teacher which is Sir Regie Palmos to discuss the plans and assign some lesson and topics that we need to deliver. I will have to classes next week that is why I focused on finishing my 2 lesson plan and 2 Powerpoint presentation. This is such a stressful week because I have two classes to handle in a week. Really need to spend my time studying the lesson to gain more knowledge and ideas about the topic.

WEEK 9 The classes ar suspended because of the typhoon and there is also a 3day holiday, so I spent my time checking and returning my student's ouputs. I noticed that most of my students really have this talent in painting and I was really amazed by it. I hope that my students will continue their passion because they are all talented.

WEEK 10 It is very fulfilling knowing that you know what you are teaching and you also learned from it. Seeing my students participating in the class is a sign that they are having fun and also they are learning. There are times that I feel so stress because of my duties and responsibilities but i know that these happenings is very important in shaping myself as a better educator. My students really made my day.

WEEK 11 This week will be last week of my teaching because I already discuss all the lessons and topic in Araling Panlipunan with the Grade 6. After the class, we also conducted a synchronous meeting with our adviser for the update of our research. I am very happy that I am finished of my schedule but somehow I am sad becuse I can no longer talk to my students anymore. I really have a good time teaching and shaping my student's life.

WEEK 12 I think this is the happiest day of my internship. I finally saw my students and get along with them. They are very shy when we first see each other but after some few games that we played I can see that they are comfortable and enjoying the games and activities. Even though it is very tiring but it is more fulfilling and productive being with your students in a classroom.

WEEK 13 This is the last week of our internship and this is also the week where we met our respondents the grade 4 pupils to give their awards and certificates. I also attended a webinar where it gives me more ideas and knowledge as a future educator.

Being a teacher is really hard but very fulfilling.

EXPERIENCES AND REFLECTIONS ON THE PPST DOMAINS WITH EVIDENCES:

This section highlights the pre-service teachers' experiences and reflections on the seven (7) domains of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST). It also contains all evidence of activities performed inside each area.

DOMAIN 1 Content Knowledge and Pedagogy As a pre-service teacher, I prepared instructional materials such as the lesson plans and Powerpoint presentattion used in the teaching intership for almost three months. The following is the example of lessons taught in one grade levels. Grade-4 Araling Panlipunan.

DOMAIN 1 Content Knowledge and Pedagogy

DOMAIN 1 Content Knowledge and Pedagogy

Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK) is a teacher's armor and weapon in teaching the learners. A unique self-acquired knowledge possessed by teachers comprises content- what the teacher know about the subject matter. As a future teacher, being well-versed in pedagogical content knowledge is as essential as being the anchor and the captain of the ship that creates a path directed to student's effective learning.

Effective teacher use what they know about their students to create relevant and suitable learning activities snd establish effective questioning and evaluation procedures to assure comprehension.

DOMAIN 2 Learning Environment In the new normal teaching, West Visayas State University-Integrated Laboratory School used blended learning where both modular and online are used. The teacher and students used Google Classroom and Google meet to deliver the lessons to students.

DOMAIN 2 Learning Environment

When the COvid 19 pandemic srikes the whole world, face to face classes were put on hold. Years later the the Department of Education initiated the re-opening of classes using modular, online learning, and blended learning. Google Classroom and Google Meet are some of the online resources used in facilitating the learning of the students amidst the pandemic in the school I observed.

DOMAIN 3 Diversity of Learners Common observation I had with students from different grade levels (Grade 4) are more likely active in the classroom activities compared to (Grade 6) students are few to respond to the teacher. There are also students who are present during the googlr meet but fail to submit their outputs on time and there are others who are actively participating in the class but most likely to get low scores. As a teacher, I really need to remind the students to pass their activtities on time because some of the students are only attending the class but too lazy to pass their tasks.

DOMAIN 3 Diversity of Learners As students come from different backgorunds, it is expected that they vary in capabilities and characteristics that makes them unique from the rest. We cannot change this as this happens in every classroom. Based on my observation, there's a wide gap between the performing students and those who are not. The active students have more interactions with the teacher and a fast pace in accomplishing the task of the subject is performing better than those who are passive and silent during the class. I can see that if the students behave that way they are prioritizing their attendance rather than their tasks. There are a lot of fcators why students are struggling in passing their activities like poor internet connection or lacking of gadgets used in online or blended class.

As a teacher we must be sensitive and understanding in giving assignments and tasks. We must also consider the difficulty of the task for the students not to be problematic in complying their tasks.

DOMAIN 4 Curriculum and Planning The teachers needs to learn the school's curriculum.

We should primarily know what to teach, the time frame, learning targets, learning competencies, appropriate assessments and the expected learning outcomes of the subjects that we handle. A curriculum is defined as content, a process, and a product. Curriculum as content shows that the subject matter, topic outline, lessons, references, and concept comprise a curriculum. A curriculum is more about how the teacher and the students carry out the activities. On the other hand, curriculum as a product shows the learning outcomes of the subject matter for the students to achieve after the class. Given those descriptions of a curriculum, we can infer that a curriculum plays an essential role in the lives of the teacher and the students.

DOMAIN 5 Assessment and Reporting Assessment is an important in evaluating the performance of the students. As for my formative assessments, I ask the students about their understanding the of the lesson, assign a group activity and report using different platforms snd they can share their experience and learning. After the class we post the taks and assigments to their respective google classroom and set the date for deadline.

DOMAIN 6 Community Linkages Being with the students in the university is the of the most memorable and happy moment for me as a practice teacher. This activity strengthen the learning environment and the school and community involvement in education. Teaching and learning in the classroom should be connected to the experiences, interest, and goals of the entire school community and as well as the stake holders. A day in the university is a great plaform for the students and practice teachers like me, it gives me idea how diverse and unique my students. The different activties showcase the student's talent and passion and this also serve as an engagement activtiy for everyone.

DOMAIN 7 Personal Growth A teacher has a huge influence on the growth of the students' ability abd on the whole forming of their personality from the physical, mental, emotional and social aspects. Teaching is a complex endeavor, hence teacher preparedness is vital in this career.

People say that being a good teacher is not something you get from your parents, but rather something you achieve through hard effort, study and training. Professional development is needed for instructors to renew their knowledge and skills in teaching which in the new normal was Learner-centered teaching. This webinar I attended taught us what are the things that we need to consider or to prepare before the class. It is also important that we need to use specific materials in our lessons for the students to easily understand the topics especially in science.
