1. By Joanna Fuchs
Dear Lord, bless these teachers mightily
as they seek to teach, enrich and guide
your precious children.
Grant them abundant resources to do their job,
intelligence, wisdom, sensitivity, kindness,
and the material things that make it possible
to turn some of these tender green plants
into the strong, stable trees that will lead our nation,
to transform some of these buds into brilliant flowers
that will bring light, color and happiness
to all who encounter them,
and to give every one of them the tools
to be creative, and productive and to develop
their own kind of success in the world.
Lord, wrap Your loving arms around these teachers
who give so much of themselves to grow our youth
into creative, responsible adults.
We pray that You will immerse them
in your boundless, transcendent love.
We pray that You will strengthen and soothe them
when they have given so much of themselves
that they need Your extra attention, Your extra care.
We love, respect and admire these teachers, Lord
and we pray that you will watch over them always–
these special people who hold our children
and our future in their hands.
Amen.

3. This portfolio serves as a compilation of learning experiences that could be
helpful to students taking the same field of specialization. The primary purpose of this
portfolio is to share the experiences during the 10 hours of observation to future
teachers.
This portfolio also aims to achieve the following competencies in:
Identifying and classifying resources that facilitate teaching and learning
processes;
Appraising the effectiveness of display boards as learning resources;
Determining the appropriateness of teaching aids to learning tasks;
Preparing instructional materials that are appropriate to the learning content;
Preparing instructional materials (handouts) that are appropriate to the learning
content;
Developing and utilizing materials (slide presentations) which involve students in
meaningful learning; and
Evaluating electronic resources for appropriate instructional use.

11. To educate is to become a better educated person. It is circular process that
improves with time; we believe the responsibility of educators is to provide students with the
necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in academic, business and personal arenas. Our
teaching philosophy is based on the belief that education is a solution to many social problems.
Education provides the tools to make informed decisions, synthesize ideas, and critically
evaluate relevant issues and to enjoy life. Therefore pursuing knowledge and working to
improve our skills as an educator are among our highest priorities.
As an educator, we will strive to encourage excellence in our students and
ourselves. Course material should be challenging, interactive and relevant to current issues and
events. Students learn and retain more information if the material is presented in an
environment that is interesting and interactive. For this reason, we believe that using a variety
of multimedia including video, slides, and the internet, is an effective way to complement
traditional course lectures remains the foundation of the educational experience. We feel that
we can encourage students to seek new knowledge and explore their own ideas by an
enthusiastic presentation of both what is. And what is not known about subjects. When
appropriate, the classroom setting should be expanded to include experience in the field. What
better way to make the necessary connections among biological concepts than by observing
how organisms interact with their environment?
In our interaction with students, we will strive always to be respectful, especially
when dealing with differing opinions that may arise as product of scientific thinking. We want
our student to learn to think critically, not merely to accept our ideas and opinions; our drive to
pursue higher education was due in part to several teachers who inspired catalyst for other
people to pursue their dreams.

14. In my 10 hours of observation, I can really say that “I learned a lot
from this field study experience”.
The learners are the very reason why a school exists. In fact, they are
the center of the educative process. As time changes, these learners are also
changing. And as teachers, we should keep abreast with these changing
demands of a learning society.
In teaching a specific lesson we can’t deny the fact that before we
teach, we really prepared a lot. And one of these preparations is to choose
the learning materials to be used during the teaching-learning process. So As
teachers, we should be careful in choosing the learning materials to be used
in teaching.
Try to ask ourselves, “Is this learning material appropriate to the
lesson that I will be teaching? Is this appropriate to the needs and interests
of my learners? Does this learning material helps in achieving the objectives
of the lesson? And “Am I competent in using this learning material in
teaching? These are only few of the concerns that we should consider as
teachers in choosing a learning material to be used in teaching.
As teachers, we should have a great passion in teaching so that we
may deliver our lesson with conviction. We must also have a sense of humor
so that our students will be motivated to learn the lesson that we are
teaching.
