“VIDEO LESSONS SUMMARY”

VIDEO LESSON SUMMARY 1: “Reorientation of Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers”


The Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers serves as a guiding framework for educators,
particularly new teachers, emphasizing the responsibilities and standards of conduct expected in the
teaching profession. It emphasizes the nobility of teaching, urging educators to approach their
vocation with enthusiasm and pride. The code outlines ethical practices, reinforcing what teachers
should and should not do, ensuring integrity and professionalism in their interactions with students,
colleagues, and the community.
What I have learned more in this training is, it is very more important for us teachers to
familiarize and be reoriented with the Code of Ethics as part of the Continuous Professional
Development (CPD), ensuring that we teachers must adhere to these principles throughout our
careers. Moreover, we teachers must push learners to their full potential. Thus, through the code of
ethics, we teachers will now be guided on how to be professionally competent in our profession and
be guided on how to possess good reputation not just in the school but also in the community.

VIDEO LESSON SUMMARY 2: “Support for Learner’s Participation”


Supporting learners to participate is essential to education because it gives them the ability to
take charge of their own education. Students become active participants in lessons rather than
passive consumers of information when they actively participate. This active engagement enhances
retention of the knowledge acquired and promotes a deeper comprehension of the topic matter.
Teachers establish a collaborative learning environment where students feel appreciated and
respected by promoting questioning, opinion sharing, and debate participation. This method not only
improves academic achievement but also fosters critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, which
are crucial in the quickly evolving world of today.
It is impossible to overestimate the importance of support in raising student engagement. In
order to foster a positive learning environment that promotes student participation, teachers are
essential. They can accomplish this by giving students helpful criticism and direction, appreciating
their efforts, and assisting them in identifying their areas of strength and growth. Technology
integration in the classroom can also be a useful strategy for raising student interest. A varied and
inclusive learning environment that accommodates various learning preferences and styles can be
offered by educational apps, online resources, and interactive learning technologies. By employing
these tools, educators can encourage students' curiosity and excitement, which will inspire them to
take an active role in their education.
Other than teachers shouldn't be the only ones encouraging students to participate. Significant
roles are also played by parents, the larger school community, and the kids themselves. Attending
parent-teacher conferences, having conversations about their child's development, and encouraging
their learning at home are all ways that parents can demonstrate their involvement in their education.
Extracurricular activities, student-led projects, and chances for student leadership and voice are just a
few examples of the policies and programs that schools can use to encourage student involvement.
Additionally, students themselves must comprehend the value of actively engaging in their education.
Students who adopt a growth mindset and take ownership of their education can become more
engaged and motivated, which will enhance their academic performance and help them acquire
critical life skills.

VIDEO LESSON SUMMARY 3: “6 Types of Assessment of Learning”


Assessment of learning enables teachers to gauge their students' knowledge, abilities, and
comprehension, thus, it is an essential part of education. A thorough method for assessing student
learning outcomes is offered by the six popular assessment kinds that were previously stated.
Summative assessments give an overview of students' general comprehension and material
knowledge. They are helpful in assessing how well instruction is working and pinpointing areas that
need work. But it's crucial to remember that depending only on summative evaluations cannot fully
reflect pupils' development and variety of skills.
Formative assessments, on the other hand, provide continuous feedback and let teachers
track students' development over time. Teachers can modify their lessons and give more support to
students who might be having difficulties if they receive timely feedback. Formative evaluations
encourage an ongoing process of learning and development.
Performance assessments can be extremely useful for determining how well students can use
their knowledge and abilities in practical settings. These assessments give pupils the chance to
demonstrate their comprehension through practical assignments or projects. Performance
assessments foster creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving—skills necessary for success in a
variety of fields.
Diagnostic assessments are valuable in identifying students' strengths, weaknesses, and prior
knowledge before instruction begins. By understanding students' starting points, teachers can tailor
their instruction to meet individual needs and provide appropriate support. Diagnostic assessments
help create a personalized learning experience for students.
Beyond traditional exams, authentic assessments motivate students to use their knowledge
and abilities in relevant, real-world situations. These assessments encourage creativity, teamwork,
and higher-order thinking. They give pupils the chance to show what they've learned in interesting
and pertinent ways.
One effective strategy for encouraging metacognition and student ownership of learning is self-
assessment. Students gain a better grasp of their areas of strength and growth by commenting on
their own performance and progress. Students are encouraged to create objectives, track their
progress, and take ownership of their education through self-assessment.
In conclusion, a thorough grasp of students' learning outcomes can be obtained through a
balanced approach to assessment that includes a range of assessment techniques. Combining
summative, formative, performance, diagnostic, authentic, and self-assessment techniques allows
teachers to better understand their students' development, adapt their lessons to suit each student's
needs, and promote a continuous improvement culture.

In every area of life, having effective communication skills is important. Active listening is an
essential aspect in enhancing communication abilities. Active listening entails giving the speaker your
whole attention, observing their nonverbal and vocal clues, and expressing sincere interest in what
they have to say. People can better comprehend the speaker's point of view, prevent
misunderstandings, and react appropriately by engaging in active listening. Effective communication
also requires that ideas be expressed clearly. This entails utilizing clear, clear language, arranging
ideas logically, and taking the audience's comprehension level into consideration. People can
effectively communicate their thoughts and make sure they are understood by practicing clarity in
their expression.
Another essential element of successful communication is empathy. It entails sharing and
comprehending other people's emotions and viewpoints. People can improve relationships, settle
disputes more skillfully, and create a welcoming and understanding atmosphere by practicing
empathy. Actively taking into account the feelings and experiences of others, confirming their
emotions, and exhibiting sincere concern and understanding are all ways to develop empathy.
Furthermore, it is essential to modify communication styles to suit various contexts and target
audiences. Being able to modify one's communication style to accommodate people's varied
communication preferences and cultural backgrounds helps improve comprehension and forge closer
bonds. This entails utilizing proper vocabulary and tone, paying attention to nonverbal clues, and
modifying communication techniques to fit the preferences of the parties. By being flexible in
communication styles, individuals can establish rapport, avoid misunderstandings, and promote
effective collaboration.

VIDEO LESSON SUMMARY 7: “Strategies and Instructions for Students with Numeracy
Difficulties”
An organized and step-by-step method of instruction can help students who struggle with
numeracy. A strong foundation can be built for children by decomposing difficult mathematical ideas

Student Success”
Enhancing teachers' socioemotional skills is essential to fostering a caring and encouraging
learning environment that encourages student achievement. Programs for professional development
are essential to this process. These initiatives can give teachers the tools and training they need to
improve their own socioemotional competencies. Teachers can better comprehend and address the
social and emotional needs of their pupils by improving their self-awareness, self-management, and
social awareness. Consequently, this enables them to provide a favorable classroom environment
that promotes mental health and aids in academic development.
Enhancing socio-emotional learning also requires educators to collaborate together and
support one another. Teachers can exchange best practices for integrating socio-emotional learning
into their lessons and participate in peer-to-peer learning. Teachers can share their struggles and
achievements, reflect on their own experiences, and gain knowledge from one another through
collaborative talks and workshops. Teachers can improve their own socioemotional competencies and
create plans to help their students' socioemotional growth by creating a positive professional learning
environment. This cooperative approach also contributes to the development of a school-wide culture
that promotes the welfare of teachers and students and supports socioemotional learning.
Additionally, enhancing educators' socioemotional learning requires incorporating
socioemotional learning into the curriculum as a whole. By integrating SEL courses and activities into
their regular teaching routines, educators can help students grow their socioemotional competencies
while simultaneously giving them the chance to practice and model these abilities. Teachers can
assist students in developing critical life skills like self-awareness, empathy, and responsible decision-
making by incorporating SEL into academic topics. Because teachers actively participate in the
process alongside their students, this holistic approach to education not only fosters students'
socioemotional development but also enriches their own socioemotional learning.
In conclusion, developing teachers' socioemotional skills is essential to fostering a caring and
supportive learning environment. Enhancing educators' socio-emotional abilities and competencies
can be achieved through professional development programs, teacher cooperation, and curriculum
integration of SEL. Schools can better support the success and well-being of their children by making
investments in the socioemotional development of their teachers.

VIDEO LESSON SUMMARY 11: “Learning Styles”


Learning Styles implies the idea that different people have distinct learning preferences and
methods. Kinesthetic learners learn best through hands-on experiences, auditory learners prefer
vocal explanations, and visual learners prefer visual aids and materials. Although it can be useful to
