A Teacher in the Making
In-Campus Reflections- (Narrative Report) by: Eileen Reyna T. Magdayo

“A Teacher in the Making….”
“Education is not a preparation for life; but life itself…”
October 27, 2010… I went to the office of Dr. Beverly Bicar for the evaluation. I was so happy when she allowed me to have my practicum even with two subjects other than the in and off campus loads. Finally, I would be a step closer to the fulfillment of my Bachelor’s Degree of becoming a teacher….the profession I will always and forever be proud of. November 3, 2010… The day when we had our recollection at Pal-ing with Bishop Honesto Ch. Pacana as the speaker. I could not forget what he shared about “trust” and “responsibility” which a future teacher needs to possess. It is indeed very important that in everything we do, we surrender it to God. It is very important to ask His guidance and protection. Being a student teacher is a challenging endeavor that entails a lot of courage and preparation.

November 9, 2010… This day is the general orientation with Prof. Edna Maganding for the secondary and Prof. Janet Martinez for the elementary. We were all given a copy of the ELC (Experiential Learning Competencies) handbook for our guide. It was a nice experience indeed that our professors see to it that we were all ready to face any disputes that the practicum would give to us. This also gave me the impression that a new undertaking of my life is yet to come.

November 10, 2010... The First day in SSL… Ma’am Improgo and Sir Oton gave us the overview on what do we need to do during our stay at BSU-SSL. I was really so excited at the same time nervous way back then.

My Supervising Instructor, Mr. Reynaldo T. Oton, a very approachable and workaholic teacher gave me a genuine idea that being a teacher is not just merely discussing in the classroom. There are lots of other things to do like checking test papers, projects and other requirements. Teaching is never easy yet this is

    I disagree with Leon Botstein's essay "Let Teenagers Try Adulthood". Botstein argues that teenagers have matured much more quickly over the past few years. Therefore, he believes high school be abolished and a child's education should begin earlier in order for students to graduate around the age of sixteen rather than eighteen. High school is intended for students of a certain maturity level. But now, students are exceeding that level rapidly. Botstein sees high school as a place full of superficial, adolescent teenagers that care more about appearances, popularity, cliques and sports than education. Because they have reached a high maturity level at such a young age already, there are many students that are wasting their junior and senior years away in high school rather than starting college. I disagree with Botstein however. High school is a transition period for students to learn how to take on more responsibilities. It is the time for teenagers to become more social and independent. While I do agree with Botstein on his point of maturity levels growing faster, I don't agree that students should be graduating earlier than they currently are. Not all students are capable of the same things. Most high school students are not prepared to enter into adulthood just yet. They still need someone to guide them along a path until they've graduated. Age restrictions are applied to the youth community for a reason. The majority of teenagers are not ready to handle the responsibilities that come their way. The legal age for drinking is 21 because of safety concerns as well as the responsibility that comes with the consumption of alcohol. Fortunately for Texas, teenagers are able to obtain their drivers license at the age of sixteen, but other states, like California, have citizens wait until they are eighteen to obtain their license with the same privileges as a sixteen year old from Texas. Responsibilities are tough to handle, even for an adult. So why have the same…

    I use to think that being a teacher was going to be a short eight hours of teaching and being with children. Having summers off made being a teacher seem a lot more beneficial to. Being a teacher seemed to be the easiest career choice out there for me. After viewing the second grade classroom in Shepherdstown Elementary it is safe to say that I have changed my opinion of teaching. There is unquestionably another side to the world of a teacher that can only be seen inside a classroom. Watching the students made me realize that being a teacher will no doubt carry some difficulties but, it will all pay off in the end. Observing has made me realize that there is more to teaching, the classroom, and what goes on inside.…

    I have had the chance to serve as a tutor, a peer advisor, and as a teaching assistant for a variety of courses while I was an undergraduate and in my current role as an AmeriCorps VISTA. Through these positions, I had to chance to lead class periods and I have found that I enjoy teaching at the university level, as compared to the times that I have helped with elementary and middle school classes. I fully enjoy seeing students finally understand a concept they have had trouble with and connecting students with their passion. Watching them take that spark and ignite it into something much larger than themselves has been one of the most rewarding…

    As a class, we have endured changes throughout the years from being split up in the classroom ( Port Allen on one side and Erwinville on the other) as if we were on the bus with Rosa Parks to being untied, from having a teacher and coming back from Christmas break wondering who was going teach us geometry, a change in administration, down to dances from the dougie to “jiggin” and now to dabbin. Through it all I am glad to say we made it; we survived ebola, Oscar Proud, the Predator, Maleficent. Ms. Morgan’s test, Ms. Roger’ solid advice, and the King of Shade worksheets Mr. Seal’s himself. Also for some of you relationship after relationship. All of these good…

    One of the greatest myths about education is that a student's success lies in the hands of their professor. Hunter Rawlings in College Is Not a Commodity, agrees “ Though I would like to think I made a real contribution to student learning, my role was not the sole or even determining factor in the value of those courses to my students.” In conjunction with Hunter Rawlings quote, I concur education is not an open door, nor is a college in general. A great college with profound educators might be accessible, but it's the effort to open that door that defines what education truly is. Although education lies in the hands of its successor. While others view college as a commodity, motivated students are constructing their education, defining their education with determination, furthermore making it an opportunistic choice to follow.…
