I am assigned at Francisco G. Nepomuceno Memorial High School and I have two resource teacher which they are teaching grade 8 and 10 students. Since I already had my observation I've seen my one resource teacher which teaching grade 8 as a Progressivists and Essentialists teacher. Progressivist because she is a kind of teacher who is student centered. She gave knowledge to her student and make sure that students' understand the lesson by asking them a question. She believed that by asking question to her students' and be able to anwer the given question then that students really understand the lesson. I like the teaching style of her because she let the students to focus on the discussion. Also, essentialist because she respect the prior knowlegde of students and let her student to participate in class. And so after the discussion they have an activity. On the other hand my second Resource Teacher is a Progressivists, she is a learner center approach and always encourage her students to become active in class. I like the way she teach and how she delivered the lesson. She easily delivered the lesson that even I am amazed to her and no doubt that students' clearly understand the lesson. She also give a twist to the discussion by saying a joke and without knowing it is connected to the discussion. I can say that joke is a Educational Jokes. And that's really nice because the lesson becomes more interesting. I admire her a lot for being an industrious teacher, for giving her very best and for being kind and approachable to us. 

We all know each of us have our own goal in teaching profession and so for us to pass this we need to aquire at least one of those elements in teaching. With that, I salute all teachers out there.

First day of School I know teacher are well prepared because they have given enough time to think what they wanted to do and accomplish for his/her students. This is not an easy task for teacher yet they have to because the expectation of students' depend on the first day of School.  Setting up the classsroom management can help the students to know their boundaries , classroom management includes everything. Like having a conducive environment can help tte students' to learn better. With that a teacher with strong classroom management skills also give an impact to his/her students' success. Having said that, Discipline often comes to mind at the mention of classroom management, but the crucial component of teaching is much more.

"Discipline is not a problem but a lack of procedures and instruction" By: Harry K. Wong Yes, it's true that discipline is not the problem inside the classroom rather it's the lack of procedure and instruction. First, an effective teacher gives an instruction before he/she can start the lesson and settle everything by making a rule. In here both will benefits the teacher and the students. It guides teachers in the process of assessment and helps the students to keep on track. Instruction helps guide the planning, implementation, and assessment of student learning.  Secondly, procedure is also important to be an effective teacher because it gives the student to ensure their consistency inside and outside the classroom. Procedures are designed to help reduce variation within a given process. Clearly stating, the purpose for giving procedure helps the student to gain cooperation and ofcourse the discipline itself. And so I can say effective teacher gai...
