This document contains a teacher's reflections on their goals for different teaching competencies during their practice teaching. For time management and communication, they set alarms and used WhatsApp to communicate with their mentor teacher. For lesson planning, they plan to allow more time for planning lessons ahead of teaching them. They used closing assessments, a smart board, and a timer to keep lessons on schedule. They addressed bad behavior by talking to students and using ClassDojo points, and plan to use more positive reinforcement. They assessed students orally and through an online math game. For reflection, they received feedback from their mentor teacher but plan to reflect daily on their own teaching.

COMMITMENT TO THE PROFESSION For my first goal in this competency I tried to
Being on time and try never being late. mange my time to wake up early which I set my Communicate with my MST alarm 10 minute early and it really worked for me. The teachers should be at the school before 7:00 and I wake up at 6:00 and I got out at 6:30 so I arrived at the school even before 7:00 so my strategy worked. For my second goal in this competency I used WhatsApp which is an app that helped me to be connect with my teacher and ask her for help if I need it or when I’m going to be absent, I inform her. It was a good strategy and it worked perfectly with me. For my both goals in this competency I will try to come up with new strategies and ways in the future. PLANNING FOR LEARNING Because of the time management for my Plan my lesson week ahead before giving observations I had trouble with my lessons the lesson planning so I had to give the lesson plan one day before the lesson but my goal is to plan a lesson week ahead so I think I’m going to work on this goal for next semester. IMPLEMENTIMG LEARNING The first strategy that I used is to make the closing Being able to give the lesson within the and the assessment together which was very good planned time frame way to give the lesson in the time framed. Also, I did not use the ppt instead I used a smart board to explain the lesson and let the students be more involved by letting them answer and write the answer on the board. For the strategy that is giving the students the time for them to finish their work I used timer to help me with that by sitting a time where the students can see, and they understand that they should finish before the time ends. I need to work on making my warm up short for the next semester. MANGING LEARINING During this teaching practice I did not face a Try to Address bad behavior quickly problem with bad behavior. During one of my observation I had trouble with class management and the students were behaving so badly so after I finished with my MCT I went back and I talked with the students I told them that I wasn’t pleased with that kind of behavior and I told them that I was sad because of what they did. Talking with them did not work because when I gave them another lesson, they were the same. So, I tried to use ClassDojo which I told them if they kept talking and misbehaved, I will take points. That work perfectly. I think for my next semester I will try to use positive reinforcement. ASSESSMENT I’ve always used oral assessment to see if my Use a variety of assessment tools students understood the lesson. One of the strategies that I tried to use to improve and achieve the goal is to include technology as assessment. So, for one of my lessons I used an online game for subtraction, and it was fun for the students and as a teacher I was able to check my students understanding. For next semester I will try to use the other strategies. REFLECTION For my last competency my goal was to reflect on Try to reflect on my teaching everyday my teaching daily, but I couldn’t do that. instead I got help from my MST she wrote for me a feedback and that helped me a lot. But I want for my next semester to write my own reflection and writing my strength and weakness. Evidence:
