Second week: Making Lesson Plan

During the second week of school, I did an observation of the lesson plan and created a lesson plan that I would use for my teaching practice. here are the details of my observations.

1.      Teaching Plan

1.1. Curriculum

Curriculum in T.I.P. Senior High School is based on DepEd ORDER No. 8 s.2015 Policy Guidelines on Classroom Assessment for the K-12 Basic Education Program.

1.2. Teaching Plan (Mathematic Major)

Teaching plan or lesson plan is a teacher’s detailed description of the course of instruction, or ‘learning trajectory’ for a lesson. Teaching plan also as teacher’s guide includes the goal (what the students are supposed to learn), how to reach the goal (method, procedures), and the way to measuring how well the goal was reached (test, homework, worksheet).

T.I.P. Senior High School has teaching plan for each subject. In mathematic major, well-planned lessons or teaching plan include student activity and worksheet focused on the conceptual learning goal. Mathematic teachers should capitalize on the importance of mathematic in everyday life to engage the students. Teaching plan of mathematic includes intended learning outcomes, topic, references, materials, review, motivation, activities, analysis, abstraction of each hour activities, application, assessment and assignment.

2.      Observation on Teacher

2.1. Planning for teaching

The teacher required to make a teaching plan (lesson plan) before the teaching activity began that day. Also teacher have to prepare well all of materials needed for teaching, such as a power point for teaching or mathematics media.

2.2. Preparing lesson and materials

Teacher has been prepared tools for teaching such as book and board marker, and if the teacher wants to use media, teacher must be prepared projector, laptop, power point presentation, and media for presentation or for students’ activity.

Every time before the teaching began, teacher has already prepared well all of the lesson and materials, it makes teacher explain easily and clearly.

2.3. Teaching in class

Students always give a greeting to the teacher before the class start, then the teacher write the intended learning outcomes on the whiteboard after that teacher open the class using apperception to review the last topic before teach the new topic. Also teacher asked about topic matter before explain to know about students’ knowledge. And then the teacher explains about topic matter or materials for the day.

Teaching system was student-centered learning which teacher act as a facilitator to teach students and students will be able to explore and to build their knowledge. Furthermore, teacher and students are active side each other.

2.4. Measurement and evaluation

Teacher give a worksheets to measurement and evaluation, student must do the worksheets individually based on the topic of lesson that day. After student finished the worksheets. Sometimes, the teachers also gives homework in the end of the lesson on the day. The teacher should give examination for the students in the end of the topic.

For the next two week I'll have my practice teaching. :)
