C. After reading the school’s vision, mission and goals, I realized that:

We may say that the pandemic made great changes on our education system today
however as teachers, guided with the vision, mission and core values, teachers’
responsibility is to shape and transform the students’ to be the best individual and
contributor of continuous progress of the society. As part of the core values, it’s the
duty of teacher to also help students have morally and God-fearing values.

D. I need to internalize and integrate these in my lesson by:

I will do my utmost so that I can contribute to the accomplishment of the Vision,

Mission and Core Values of my cooperating school. I will practice different strategies
and methods so that I will illustrate the teacher that my school and cooperating
teaching is trying to produce.
My Reflections / My Insights

A. Answer the question below.

How do you feel about your second home?

My second home is a temple of education. It doesn’t just a place wherein I gain

knowledge pertaining to different subjects and fields or knowledge of English and
other discipline but also on manners, and skills. It also teaches me ups and downs of
life. My home is where I feel safe and where I am confident to take risk and improve
myself. I don’t feel like I’m afraid to commit mistake because I know that my home
wants to see me become better and only through committing mistakes I may able to
do such. Despite the set-up we have right now because of pandemic, my home still
want to supply with all the necessary knowledge and skills to equip me for the days to
come once I become a teacher; and for that I am thankful.

My home might not be as good as the other’s home but it’s the best home for me
since it motivated me not to give up on my aspirations and it is where I feel safe. I
want to provide the same home that I have right now for my students once I become a
part of their home, someday.
