Classroom serves as a training institute where the students are trained by the teachers for them to be ready in facing the greater society.
Classroom is a miniature of a greater society because like in the society students will also interact and socialize with the different people in the classroom. They will also have to learn to adopt the society in the classroom. If students will know how to adopt his/her society in the classroom then it will be easy for them to adopt the greater society.

What are found in the classrooms that are similar to what can be observed in society?

The similarities that are found in the classroom are the friendly environment. Like in the society students will also meet different personalities that they have to interact.

It is important to assess the prior knowledge of the students about the subject matter. It is because through assessment we will able to know where our students are. We will know how to adjust and use the proper strategies in dealing with our students.

Library and Internet resources give big help in the process. It will serve as instructional tools that can help both to the students and teacher in the classroom. It can be a source of learning. It can make the life in the classroom easier.

YourAnalysis

Why should teachers know about curriculum design?

The teachers should know about curriculum design in order for them to prepare and design new activities. Teachers are the one who are planning and designing about their activities every day. It is important that the teachers know curriculum design in order for them to have an idea what kind of strategies they have to prepare.

It is important that the teachers have knowledge about curriculum design in order for them to be updated in the modern strategies that are in to use. If good curriculum design is implemented in the classroom then there will be possibility that the teaching learning process will be effective.

What do most principles and theories of curriculum development have in common? How is this commonality expressed or spelled out in the curriculum of the class you have observed?

The principles and theories of curriculum development have their common in a way that they are both useful in having a good curriculum design. They both serve as a guide for the teachers to design and prepare good techniques and strategies in dealing with her students.

That commonality was expressed during the teaching- learning process in the classroom when the teacher was facilitating learning with students.
Your Reflections

From our FS experience, keep in touch with our most meaningful learning and express it through abstract visual presentations.

Like this tree, curriculum will not stand by itself without curriculum planners, teachers, students and staff. Through those person curriculum will lead to success.

The involvement of teachers, students, parents and non-personnel teaching in the school’s programs and activities are very important. It is because they are the one who are working for the success of programs and activities. The unity of them leads to the better outcomes of activities and programs.

Your Analysis

How important is it for teachers and curriculum planners to anchor their curricular plans to specific theories and principles of curriculum development? Theories and principles of curriculum development are very important because it guides the teacher what kind of plan she should have. It will also serve as basis of the teacher what should she taught in her class. It gives big help in the teacher’s side because it will give them ideas what kind of strategies and techniques are effective to use. It will also improve the teaching style of the teacher.

The teachers and curriculum planners should value the theories and principles of curriculum development because without it they will not have any idea how to improve curriculum.
Aside from the teachers, who else should be involved in the curriculum planning? Expound your thoughts. Aside from the teachers, there are also other people who have the ability to plan curriculum. Like the parents and school’s officers. They are also helping the teachers to prepare good ideas on how to help the students. The learners as well can help to plan curriculum development because they are the one who are evaluating whether the curriculum design is effective. The community people as well can be curriculum planners because they can be a partner of the school in the outside activities.
Your Reflections

Learners & Teachers

Curriculum development is important

The teacher used formative assessment where she let her student define vocabulary from what their read.

Letting her students discover in their own was very effective it is because the students are really striving hard to learn something new on their own.

You Analysis
Why do teachers need to align the objectives, strategies and assessment?

It is very important for the teachers to align the objectives, strategies and assessment because objectives are the teacher’s goal to attain. So when they are going to decide what strategies to do are they need to consider whether it fits to their set objectives. As well as when the teachers are deciding what assessment to make are they have to also consider their set objectives. It is in our educational technology 2 where we taught that objectives, strategies and assessment are synergy it means that they are interdependent to each other.
Teacher should always consider objectives in every decision she does. It will set her mind what to do. It will make her preparations and plans easier because of the set objectives. It will guide her in making decisions.
How should teachers align their objectives, strategies, and assessment? Suggest some strategies. In aligning the objectives, strategies and assessment teachers should carefully plan what to do. They should set the objectives first in order to have basis in deciding what strategies and assessment should make.The teacher can also use some patterns or outline that indicates the alignment of objectives, strategies and assessment. It will guide the teacher as well as remind her that the objectives, strategies and assessment are interrelated to each other and they have to align it to make better outcomes to the teaching- learning process.
Your Reflections

What has been your most meaningful experience in this episode? What makes it meaningful to you? How could you such an experience help you become a better teacher?

The most meaningful experience we had not only in this episode but this field study 4 is that when we entered the SPED and observed class. It is become meaningful in a way that we interact with students and also become assistant teacher of Mrs.Avelino. It is heart whelming when the teacher introduced as a teacher, we felt that the students respected us like their teachers. They are obeying, listening and also asking questions to us like teachers. Encountering special students in the school is also one of my meaningful experiences because I saw how they behave and how they are at the school even if they are special because of their disable.

Those experiences make it meaningful in a way that not all people have the opportunity to observe the school. We learned from those experiences. We appreciate the determination of the teachers there to facilitate learning even if it is hard to handle special students. Seeing different behaviours and characteristics of the students can be our motivation to learn more in handling students.

Meaningful experiences help us to become a future better educator someday in a way that we gain knowledge and experience in how to handle different situations in the class. It will improve our thoughts that it’s not easy to become a teacher so that we really have to take seriously our course. The different strategies and activities that we’ve seen will become our prior knowledge to improve it.

Becoming future teacher is not that easy we have to undergo so many challenges that either motivate us to strive more or defeated us in becoming it.
