This demo teaching that I experienced is like a roller coaster ride of emotions. But the best emotion that I felt is happiness of doing it with the best that I can that makes me feel good. Even though I cried because of the pressure that I felt but I did not let it to be a hindrance of doing something better, but I used it as a motivation and inspiration to do my best. Because I do not want my students to be disappointed on what I will do when I teach them. I am a kind of person who always wanted to give my very best and be organized as much as possible. I want my students to learn the things that they need and for them not to say anything wrong or to see that I am not that ready.
While I am teaching the 1-18 students, I was fascinated on how they interacted with me about the lesson. You will see how interested they are on your lesson. But honestly, it is hard to catch their attention because some of them have their own agenda. What I did is that I delivered my lesson with full of confidence. I believe that if they will see me like that, they will listen and will take a look on how I deliver my lesson. The students really know if you are that skillful and knowledgeable with your topic. They are good in criticizing their teacher because I think they believe that giving the good and bad points will help the teacher to improve themselves. I also cited examples especially on the things that they can relate to so that they will interact and engage in my discussion. I know that it is very important that we had an input coming from the students because it will help us know if they learn something or not.
I believe that there are a lot of things that I need to improve on myself. But still it is good start and looking forward with many demos that will showcase what I learn from my teacher. This made me realize that nothing is easy and many things are needed to be learned to be the best on the chosen field you go. We also need to be humble if we do not know what to do and asked someone opinions that will help us to be better next time. There is always room for improvement and the success of one’s work really lies from within. We should always ask ourselves “am I giving my very best or not”? So the answer is really on your hands especially the actions that you will do so that you will be successful as teacher.
