A Journey to Educators World!: Hulyo 2013

Episode 1: FS 3 - FS 4

PLACE: Sto. Tomas Central Elementary School SPED Center

A walk with full of Hardships and Faith . . .

This is what I could say about our first episode observation, we encounter many difficulties.. .

First, Our letter were almost not signed by the principal cause we taught that he is not around in school.

Second, We had difficulty in seeking our resource teacher cause, we don't know of what she look like or where does she?

Third, The ICT Teacher that we are looking for is not around cause, he is on the seminar.

and many more.. .

But, prior to this difficulties we still manage to finish the task given to us,

"To observe classes with full of determination"

I know that this is not the end of the circumstances that we may encounter, We just have to have the determination and We must have to seek the guidance our creator Jesus Christ.

Here are the pictures of our observations.

Have a Blessed Day Bloggers!

An Interesting Topic with a Helpful Task . . .

Good Day Bloggers!

This week we are given the task to discuss the "Alternative Assessment", and to make our own rubrics in "Rubistar" . Actually, the Alternative Assessment topic really interest me cause I can really relate with it specially on the part of having your own rubrics which is agreed by the Students and Teachers.

Assessing our Students learning should be on fifty-fifty method. Fifty for the Written activity and Fifty for Performance based activity. So that, there will be a fair grading for the students, and through this we can evaluate our students if what are their strengths to be develop more and weaknesses to be catered.

Another Task given to us is to make our own rubrics in "Rubistar". here are my works.
