The document discusses the author's first teaching experiences at TCSHS. It describes handling 5 different classes on their first day back from vacation, with varying levels of engagement between the higher and lower sections. The author appreciated the students' participation by asking questions. TCSHS is praised for maintaining small class sizes in well-ventilated, lighted classrooms conducive to learning. The school also advocates technology use in teaching and learning, with multimedia devices, televisions, an e-library, and good supplementary books. The diversity of learners presents a challenge to sustain student excitement, but the physical learning environment is well-supported for 21st century education.

1. In our professional education subjects, I
always encounter the nature of learners as diverse
individuals. It is said that every learner is unique in
his own way and teachers must be sensitive enough
on their variety. I never knew that responding to
that is hard, I mean tremendously hard, until now.
Let me share to you my first actual teaching
experiences. It was Monday and the students just
came back from Christmas and New Year vacation.
Because of that, it was a challenge for me to awaken
them so to remind them that vacation is done and
they are now in school with a purpose
to study and learn. To do that, I
showed them that I am now ready to
be their teacher. With a voice that
reflects enthusiasm and posture that
requires their full attention- I am Sir
Bryan Nozaleda! I thought that was
enough but it seemed not. I guess, the
problem of every teacher is how to sustain the
excitement of the students while in class. ( I’ve just
said something about learning environment ) Speaking of
class, I handled 5 different classes that day. Two of
which are third year and the remaining are fourth
year. Therefore, nice number of classes to prove the
diversity of learners.
In general, all my classes went fantastic. But
I can say, each have different characteristics.
Interestingly, I observed that the higher sections are
more passive than the students who belong in the
lower sections. How could that be? I haven’t
expected that to happen. Well now, I know it does
happen.
Meanwhile, I appreciated the participations
of my students. They were really good. They ask
about our topic and that’s exactly what I want. They
recite and they answer whenever I have questions.
What more can I ask? Thanks I am here!
TCSHS, undeniably, is one of the most
promising schools in the region and that Tuguegaro
City must be proud of it. If I’ll be asked, where can
I find an ideal learning environment? Its in TCSHS.
The number of students in a class are maintained to
commit to the goal of quality education. The
clasrooms are
well
ventilated
and lighted.
In short every
classroom is
conducive for
learning.
Moreover, TCSHS also advocates the use of
Technology in the teaching and learning process.
Devices that presents multimedia are present.
Televisions are always ready and their e-library are
open for students to do their researchers. They have
a library that contains good books that can really
supplement students’ learnings. This is what I call,
21st
century education in its real sense.
Physical Learning environment? - No
problem. But for the environment within the
environment? - That’s the challenge. The diversity of
learners is just one and I should expect more to
come.
