The content of this portfolio will help future mentors design a model of curriculum demonstrating considerations for basic and higher education, appropriate community linkages and stakeholders, address the monitoring of curriculum implementation and assessment of curriculum, and prepare an alignment of developing objectives, pedagogy and assessment. This portfolio is intended to introduce the education pre-service students to effective curriculum design and assessment.This portfolio will serve as a tool for information sources.1495425-274320 To educate is to become a better educated. 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. 1981200-83820A teacher is one who,?Can groom every creation,?A teacher is one who,?Can enhance every admiration,?A teacher is one of,?The true inspiration,?A teacher is one who,?Give us our right elevation,?A teacher is one to give,?Us a chance to step in there generation,?With them our life,?is full of celebrations,?They may dare to use quotation;?And these quotation,?Should have fixations,?Every student is unsuccessful,?Without there inspiration,?After all a teacher is more important?Then Alfa, Beta, Gamma and Newton.Simran Arora-10638786627380557150539Name of Fs Student: Sanchez Jasmine H. & Aspero, Jay Ar B.Course: Bachelor Of Secondary Education Year & Section: III-AResource Teacher: Mrs. Marites A.

For the girls they want to play a hand game, while the boys are playing ball games. Student to student interactions are the simplest interactions, they have their own way of understanding, and students are noisy when they interact. Sometimes they talk nonsense, boisterous topic to make them laugh, they have many topics about their love life, likes and dislikes, inspiration, and motivation. Student to student interactions are the interactions takes long period of time when they see each other.Student-to-Teacher Interactions Patterns:Student to teacher interactions can be observed in every classroom during discussions. Teacher is the facilitator and the students are the learners. Student to teacher interactions are effective because students give their thought and ideas during lectures. Student must respect the teacher as their mentor in learning.Teacher-to-Student interactions:Teacher considered the students as their children; they show care and love to them, teachers are concerned of the student’s needs that is why they never stop teaching every day about the things they want to share about their knowledge to educate each student. Teacher is the most respective person in the classroom; students should follow the rules and regulations implement by the teacher and student should perform activities that the teacher assigned to them.Student-to-non-teaching Interactions:Student to non teaching interactions are happened to the other person in our learning environment, these are the janitors, canteen personnel, security guard and vendors found in school. Student interact with them with little respect, Student considered them as an ordinary people in the learning environment.Teacher-to-Teacher Interactions:Teacher to teacher interactions are the professional type of interactions because of their profession. Teachers interact with teacher during their school meetings, programs and sessions. When they interact, it is different because they talk quietly not just like student, and teachers don’t have long period of interactions it depends only on their availability of schedule because teachers are so busy with their commitment to the learners. I can see them only interact during their meal time were they have a formal conversation just like the other people do.1602190-199257ScriptDialogue of student-student interaction(Students talking at the classroom after the flag ceremony)Linda: Good morning, Jenny. How are you?Jenny: I’m fine, Linda, thank you. How about you?Linda: Just fine.

We should come early tomorrow so that we can start early.1990725-379095Why is a classroom a miniature of a greater society?A classroom is a miniature of a greater society because in a classroom like a greater society has various kinds of individuals with different attitudes and personalities and like a greater society, these individuals work together for the attainment of a certain goals which are necessary for their living and survival.Classroom is the miniature of a greater society because in the classroom students have different kinds of attitude, opinions, interest and dreams. And these students are considered as individuals just like what we see in the society. In the classroom student shares their own point of view as a part of the community. Students started to ask questions to other, in classroom students practice good moral and right conduct. In the classroom, students learned a lot of things from their teacher, classmates and experience. To be responsible person as they joined in the community to create harmonious living, a good person should follow laws and limitations as a Filipino citizen in the society.What are found in the classrooms that are similar to what can be observed in society?Primarily, we can find different personalities inside the classroom so as in a society. Varied personalities exist and interact with each other and are helping each other to achieve whatever plans that will be beneficial to them and their society.Another thing is the materials in the classroom which are equivalent to all the resources available to the people in a society. These materials they utilize to produce crops or finished products for their living.The similarities that are found in the classroom that can be observed are interactions of different kinds of people, styles and wants. Every individual have the right and freedom of what they are doing with responsibilities on their actions. In the classroom that has a community just like in the society people reacts interdependence and independently.1670429-308439Cooperation and Partnership in a curriculum design is very important because if there is a partnership, not only single idea can be presented but several which will contribute to a better concept for curriculum design and if there is a cooperation, the task involved will be easier since the persons involved can work hand in hand for the success of their work.Partnership and cooperation is very important in Curriculum Design in a way that whatever flaws or mistakes can be corrected or modified earlier.Cooperation and partnership must come together because they are interrelated to each other in designing, selecting or choosing content and activities and the determination of what to evaluate.2358213-231790The Clarity you gave to me,It shone like Angel rays,Like water rushed on golden sands,And crashed along the bays.The questions deep within my heart,Confused my humble mind,Yet when you spoke your words aloudIt seemed, no longer I was blind.The answers all came flooding in,They touched my inner soul,The knowledge that you gave to meWithin my heart I hold.I understood that the eventsThat troubled me somehow,Was nothing to be frightened of,Instead I should be Proud.I Thank You Sir most graciously,These words I say aloud,For the Clarity you've given me,Has made me feel quite proud.Dee Mcdonald-22158214438139365280202Name of Fs Student: Sanchez Jasmine H. & Aspero, Jay Ar B.Course: Bachelor Of Secondary Education Year & Section: III-AResource Teacher: Mrs. Marites A. AlvarezCooperating School: Sagay National High School Our Target At the end of the activity, we should be able to describe the interaction pattern that occurs between the teachers and learners as provided in the curriculum.1613933-210524School Observed: Sagay National High SchoolYear level: Third Year Section: KamagongSubject Observed: EnglishObservations: The error of the student in answering was properly corrected by the teacher by explaining to the class the correct answer, thus the student who answered was not ashamed.Situation The DialogueTEACHERSTUDENTDiscussion of the Lesson about Noun using appropriate participle.Sentence 1: Disappointed, the applicant gathered his things and left.“Identify what is the participle in the sentence.”“Ah, huh… are you sure?”“Okay, correct. Always remember that a participle is always located near the subject”.Student 1: “Gathered his things, ma’am”.Student 2: “Disappointed, ma’am”.(All Students): “Yes, ma’am”.Personal Reflections on the dialogue: Because of the dialogue of the teacher and the students, things which are important for the subject- matter being discussed were clarified and the errors of the students were corrected.1952625-207645How important are dialogue and substantive conversation in the classroom in terms of students’ learning?Dialogue and substantive conversation in the classroom are very important to student’s learning in a way that dialogue and substantive conversation enable the teacher to see if the students are capable of analyzing and synthesizing material. The reality of the situation is that it can become a reason for students to avoid more class work. Students love to discuss, but the teacher should know when it is time to stop the conversation and move on. One of the advantages is that some students will use this time to take a mental rest while some students are contributing to the dialogue. One of the disadvantages is that when a student is not willing or not interested to the conversation will become a distraction and ruins the flow of the dialogue. Dialogue is important but the teacher should have a control of the time allotted to it. Interactions will be produced between students and teacher and it gives way to both teacher and students to express their thoughts, thus there will be a harmonious relationship in the classroom.What learning benefits could teachers and students draw from intentional classroom dialogue?The dialogue will greatly assist both students’ and teachers’ abilities to speak publicly and privately. It will develop their thought processes and make for much more engaging and intriguing conversation as well as improve vocabulary and speaking confidence of both students and the teacher. When the student are engaged in the dialogue there is a great chance to improve their own listening skills as well as it produces a much more attentive class and makes the job of the teacher easier.Classroom dialogue produces interaction in the discussion. It develops self-confidence of students to freely express their ideas toward others. It also helps students to develop or exercise their comprehension and critical thinking skills.1729096-209006Dialogue is very important in curriculum design because through this, all the persons involved can express their ideas, opinions and insights which may contribute in designing curriculum and that all the aspect like the advantages and the disadvantages will be addressed and properly handled or presented.Having a dialogue in curriculum design is a good idea to implement. In order for us to design a curriculum, we need all the ideas we can get and that is by having a dialogue with everyone. Communication is important when making an important project such as curriculum design because sometimes we may not see any defect or weakness in the design but if others concerned are around they may notice it.1847850-359410I have had nowhere to turnI had a lot to learnnot just about math science and Englishabout lifeBut you listen and never toldI have never known what that felt like beforeI remember when I would sit and sob on the floorThen you came and guided meTo bad this is my last year at this schoolSeems just like yesterday I walked into your 7th grade classBoy that was a blastTo bad walking down the hall will be my lastBut now I'm going to 9th grade?going to a whole new schoolBut I will always keep that simple rule?live your lifebut when I walk into that brand new placeI always remember your sweet smiling facethe face that gave me strength and courage?to keep going keep moving don't let anything stop meI hope this doesn't mean that we can never talkI hope we keep in touch?so I won't end up alonesitting on the floor againand all I could do was moanSo thank you for being my friendI am so sad that our trust may have to endDarby-1993903238574426489776Name of Fs Student: Sanchez Jasmine H. & Aspero, Jay Ar B.Course: Bachelor Of Secondary Education Year & Section: III-AResource Teacher: Mrs. Marites A. AlvarezCooperating School: Sagay National High School Our Target At the end of this episode, we should be able to deliberate on the principles involved in designing the curriculum and the learning activities provided.1717221-149629The Learning EnvironmentSubject Matters CoveredLibrary And/ Or Internet ResourcesPleasant and free from noise and the atmosphere was cool.The learning environment is clean and pleasant. Has different pictures and posters placed on the bulletin board.The classroom is properly cleaned and with proper ventilation because of the well functioning wall fans installed.Nouns Using Appropriate ParticiplesIdiomatic Expressions Using ParticipleChanging Direct Speech To Indirect Speech (present tense/ declarative sentences)BookBook, quotes from movies/filmsBook1587791-354016The Learning EnvironmentSubject Matters CoveredLibrary And /Or Internet ResourcesIf the learning environment is pleasant and free from distractions, the students can focus their full attention to the discussion of the teacher.The learning environment is of vital factor in motivating students to learn, thus it should be pleasant and comfortable enough to be stayed in.The learning environment is of vital factor in motivating students to learn, thus it should be pleasant and comfortable enough to be stayed in.The learner must have a prior knowledge of the subject matter that will be tackled. They should have an understanding of what a noun is, in order for them to properly associate it with other parts of the sentence so that it will be grammatically correct.Since idiomatic expressions do not have exact meaning as the words they represent, therefore they should be explained carefully to the students for them to arrive at the accurate meaning and avoid misconceptions.In discussing direct speech to indirect speech subject matter, the student should first know what is subject and what the predicate is so that they will know how to rearrange the sentence directly and indirectly based on the subject and the predicate.Instructional materials like books help the teacher in teaching the lesson to the students and the transferring to them the knowledge and the principles associated in the topic.Using books is helpful to the teacher in teaching the idiomatic expressions because it gives various examples and situations for the students to understand. Likewise, using quotes from movies/ films will be easier for the teacher in conveying the meaning of the idiomatic expressions because students will interpret the meaning based on the situation in the movie.Books are appropriate instructional materials for the subject matter because it provides explanations and examples in elaborate manner.1943100-45720Why should teachers know about curriculum design?It is the teachers who develop and implement the curriculum. Planning and writing the curriculum are the primary roles of teachers. He/she writes a curriculum daily through a lesson plan, a unit plan or a yearly plan. Teachers are the ones who prepare activities for the students to do and the ones who designs, enrich and modify the curriculum to suit the learner’s characteristics. Teachers are empowered to develop their own school curricula taking into consideration their own expertise, the context of the school and the abilities of the learners.Teachers should know about curriculum design because through their knowledge on what a curriculum must contain or must cover, the needs of the learners would be addressed by the time they will undergo experiences associated in that curriculum and he can provide better learning to every student by using appropriate techniques which correspond to the needs and inclinations, interest and understanding of the student.What do most principles and theories of curriculum development have in common? How this commonality expressed or spelled out in the curriculum of the class you have observed?The commonality was also expressed through the learning activities that the teacher provides, through this, the teacher gives emphasis on the performance of the students. The curriculum is deemed to be successful if the performance of the learners is higher than the target set. However if the performance of the students is low then it follows that the curriculum has failed. A good curriculum is one that results in high or excellent performance of students.The principles and theories of curriculum development contain common aspects which are the welfare of the students. This commonality was expressed in the class through the effort of the teacher to teach the students, to provide them the knowledge of their lesson and making sure that they understand the lesson well by asking those questions and by giving tests.2028190-114935From our FS experience, we keep in touch with our most meaningful learning and we express it through abstract visual representation. We use appropriate colors to represent our feelings and significant learning.4394201358901574718-268383I remember the times when you were there for methrough my many tears you helped me really see?that you always there for meyou stood close to me like a friend, there for me?until the endI will never forget you, the things?you helped me through, I saw my inspirationit is youyou were always there when I needed youI now will always have great memories of youYou would ask me "how are you doing"?

AlvarezCooperating School: Sagay National High School Our Target At the end of this activity, we should be able to identify educational programs that connect the school with the larger historical, social, cultural and political processes.1709627-231790Date of Observation: August 30, 2012School: Sagay National High School Subject Observed: EnglishCalendar of ActivitiesACTIVITIES DATE PARTICIPANTSNational School’s MaintenanceWeek (Brigada Eskwela)May 21-26, 2012All stakeholdersRegistration of 5-6 years oldChildren for Kindergarten and Grade 1 at Barangay CentersMay 28, 2012Teachers, Parents & ChildrenOplan Balik EskwelaMay 28-31, 2012Teachers, Parents, StudentsOplan Balik EskwelaJune 1-8, 2012Teachers, Parents, StudentsBeginning of Classes for SchoolYear 2012-2013June 4, 2012Teachers and StudentsOrientation of Students on The Enhanced Basic EducationK to 12 Program ImplementationJune 4-8, 2012Teachers and StudentsDistribution of Textbooks and Other Learning ResourcesJune 4-8, 2012Teachers and StudentsGeneral AssemblyOrientation of ParentsAnd other StakeholdersOn the K to 12 ProgramEnhanced Basic EducationProgram (BEP) Implementation (Saturday) June 9, 2012Teachers, Parents and other Stakeholders1943543-370013How important is involvement of all stake holders of the school in the school’s programs and activities?The involvement of teacher, students, parents, curriculum administrators and managers, and community members has a powerful influence to the success of the school’s programs and activities. When parents are involved in school’s programs and activities, they can help in giving brilliant ideas on how the programs and activities become more intellectual and challenging for the students. They can also help in covering some of the expenses in the programs and activities.The involvement of teachers and students is highly needed because teachers could serve as a facilitator and students are the key participants in school’s programs and activities. The choice of the activities, the methods to be utilized, and the materials to be used is one of the considerations that the teachers should have in curricular implementation.The involvement of a curriculum administrators and managers is of great help in approving the school’s programs and activities. They have a great concern about what kind of curriculum their schools offer and how these are implemented.What specific principle of curriculum development justifies the importance of cooperation and collaboration among all stakeholders of the school?Stakeholders have the power to grant or decline all programs in the school. If they do not get involved in the activities and programs, there are probably no activities that will be implemented at all. It is important that they participate in the planning so that they would find out if the activity or program proposed is necessary or not. Since they hold the highest position, they are the ones who allocate the budget for the proposals. Stakeholders need to understand perfectly the goals of these proposals because if not, they could just turn down a very important program because of the high cost or sometimes, it could go the other way around; they could implement unnecessary programs because of low cost, it does not only waste effort but time and money as well. Also by being involved in these events, parents see how much the school is dedicated for their children’s learning. If everyone in the school is involved in the learning of the students, it reflects a good school.1581150-236220Cooperation fosters learning. Two heads are better than one. People enjoy, functioning interdependently but they also enjoy functioning independently. The interactive process appears to people’s curiosity, potential and creativity, thus as people invest themselves in collaborative group approaches they develop a firmer sense of their own identification. They begin to realize that they count, that they have something to give and to learn.The school stakeholders must be able to maintain a good working relationship with each other. That is why there must be no room for any mistakes in an environment where student’s learning might be jeopardized. We are all aware that no one is really perfect, that is why we must join our heads together to come up with ideas for the betterment of the school.The school cannot function solely as a single entity without the help and support of the people around it. In order to be effective and serve the purpose the school aimed for in the first place, it should consider the expectations, the needs and aspirations of the society and the learners themselves provide learning experiences and activities and skills of the student. In the same manner, agencies and other institutions outside the school should work hand in hand with the school, providing insights and opportunities and support, updating the school with the current trends in the society.1359119-400444I had nowhere to turn, had nowhere to go.this is just something I think you need to knowI don't know what made me trust youI still remember the day when I told you what I've been throughI thought I should run away, go hide in a holebut then you really brought out my true soulAs each day grew longerour trust became strongereach time I wanted to cryyou stayed there right by my sidethen I moved to the next gradeBoy was I afraidthat our trust would slowly fadebut I was wrongwe are still strongeven though sometimes you don't have timeyou at least ask me if I am fineeven though sometimes I am notI feel like I have just been shotI smile and say yes I'm alrightthen I walk away and your out of sightI'll just have to waitI still have my fateI am so gladthat you were there when I was sadand this is what makes youNot just my 7th grade teacher, my friendDarby-236220-9398014795573660Name of Fs Student: Sanchez Jasmine H. & Aspero, Jay Ar B.Course: Bachelor Of Secondary Education Year & Section: III-AResource Teacher: Mrs. Marites A.

It gives the teachers the ideas on how to implement their curricular plans in order to achieve their desired outcomes which is learning. It is not necessary that all the time teachers would always rely on a specific theories and principles of curriculum development because some theories and principles may not be applicable for the enhancement of students’ learning due to the changing needs and interest of the students.If teachers and curriculum planners ignore the importance of these theories and principles, they could make a mistake of missing some important aspects in learning. With this reason, students must be given the chance to construct their own knowledge or ideas and as much as possible, mistakes must not be an option.Aside from the teachers, who else should be involved in the curriculum planning? Expound your thoughts.Aside from the teachers, there are still many individuals that should be involved in the curriculum planning, that is, the parents, the people in the community surrounding the school institution, the school administrators and most of all, the learners. These different stakeholders must be involved in the curriculum planning in order that the curriculum will be relevant and will be a functioning and useful tool in attaining the success of the society through educating individual student. The learners should take part in the planning of the curriculum so that their needs and concerns will be addressed, and they will be provided the appropriate experiences and activities useful for their subject areas. In the same manner, the parents should also be involved in curriculum planning so that they would have the knowledge or ideas on what means they will adopt in supporting their children who will undergo such curriculum; they will have the knowledge on how to adjust and how to seek means in supporting their child financially.2040890-213360Learners, Teachers and ParentsLearners as center of educational processAre the very reason a curriculum is madeLearners’ experiences should be given emphasisAnd learners’ needs and interests should be addressed.In implementation of the curriculumTeachers are the most crucial persons.The key to effective curriculum implementationIs the understanding inside the classroom.Parents as supporters of the curriculumBecome environment part of learning at homeParents provide materials that aren’t in homeAnd especially the moral values and norms.Jasmine Sifel H.

Sometimes because of external pressures, teachers tend to stray from their objectives, teachers tend to prepare strategies that will not benefit everyone in the class when students’ needs and interests are too diverse from one another, and lastly when doing assessment, teachers forget that not all assessments can cover all students in demonstrating their achievements. That statement was according to the idea of FS3 Student BEED3 in San Jose Christian Colleges, but in contrary with this statement, teachers should strictly observed their objectives, prepare strategies that will benefit the students’ needs and interest, and lastly teachers should use an appropriate assessment method that can help them provide feedback, guidance and mentoring the students so as to help them make a better plan and execute their educational program. Planning is a crucial part of teaching so before we go out to teach students, we have to make sure that we have done our best in planning our instructions.How should teachers align their objectives, strategies and assessment? Suggest some strategies.In aligning objectives with the strategies, they must be planned together. Objectives will be the basis of the instruction, so prepare an objectives that are observable to the behaviors of the students. Then, select teaching strategies that can benefit he needs and interests of the students, and that are suited and effective to accomplish the objectives. Lastly is the assessment, this should not be taken for granted. A high quality assessment must be clear, appropriate, valid, reliable, fair, practical, efficient and ethical, and must have positive consequences. If those characteristics are present in the assessment, it will be easy for the teachers to evaluate if they have accomplished their objectives and if they had used appropriate teaching strategies. By this, we do not waste time and effort in trying to teach our students, and soon we can provide a competent, productive and a student that is responsive to the needs of the society.1952565-312420 What was been your most meaningful experience in this episode? What makes it meaningful to you? How could such an experience help you become a better teacher?Failures are just learning experiences, the only failure is the one from which you have learned nothing.Our most meaningful experience in this episode and mostly in this FS4 was when we observe a class. Its significance helps us to understand the principles and theories of curriculum development that lead us to become more eager to be in the field.The experience opened our eyes to the hardships a teacher undergoes just to teach students effectively. We realized that to be effective teacher, we should have an outstanding personal qualities such as “passion” that refers to our dedication and love to our work and to our students, “humor” in such a way that has relation to the topic so that none of the students lose interest in listening, “values and attitude” that can eliminate discriminations thus we must be unbiased and objective in judging our students work and performance, “sincerity and honesty” which is exhibited in words and actions, “patience” refers to our self-control and persistence, “enthusiasm and full of energy”, and lastly flexible with our schedule whenever the situation demands it so.2049731-209006I was on the edgetrying to get through lifelistened to my friendand started cuttingover two in a half years of cuttinglooking for attention from any onea teacher was there?willing to helpI was in the dumpand well I got all plumed fora way to make it through life.I found a way to make my life sweet,thanks to a sweet teacher who cared,and for now on I life my life,for all the right reasons,I live my life for the children of the worldwho are helpless and sick and want to be loved.Kristy Vernillion-155122740231934845-64452536739354429 3009900165100-533400184150-5524502495552990850249555100%95%90%85%80%Content of the portfolioHas the 100% of the needed content.Has 95% of the needed content.Has 90% of the needed content.Has 85% of the needed content.Has 80% of the needed content.Objectives of the portfolioObjectives are smart and cover the whole course.Objectives are smart but cover only a minimum of 80% of the course.Objectives are smart but cover only less than 80% of the course.Some Objectives are not smart and do not cover the whole course.
