Teachers

These were the faces of the young minds that opens my mind to the new perspectives of pedagogy. They were sweet and innocent but have a very demanding needs.. Your best decision might not be their favourite but one thing for sure, they love it when you smile. No matter how high the tension is, your smiles would calm their rebellious intentions. I might be novice..not even officially own the 'teacher' name tag, but i do know that the young ones doesnt need to be scrutinize.
Having the little experience, i am begining to understand the feeling of my previous teachers. Some of them become my idols and i realize that i still remember their words. Still wish to meet and tell them what i've become. Just to add up their reasons to be proud of being a teacher. Especially 'my' teacher.
But.. i do have the memories of teachers that i wish i wont stumble across in life. The reason why i dont favor that specific subject until now. I know i'm being a little bit '......' (not sure what word to use), but they do leave a negative scar in my academic journey. For those teachers..i'm sorry..
You open my eyes to the new approach of teaching though. and i believe, that you believe it was the best way to handle us (ur students). But i also believe that you know u hurt our feeling. Anyway, i thank you for the knowledge that you share with us. And i appreciate for the 1001 things that you have done for us. I wish you all the best.
My journey is still thousand miles ahead..i can only plan what kind of teacher i want to be...not sure what kind of teacher i would turn to, but for sure i'll try to be my own favourite teacher. Thank you teachers..

The end of the evaluation..


For the last three months, our pedagogy skills were put under microscopes. Evaluated by the experts, commented and expected to improve.

Nervousness was our friend for the sudden visit of supervisor. Lesson plans were readied days before the class. Slide shows were perfectly arranged and google image was my best friend.

Finally the final evaluation has passed. The burden goes away together with the A- that i get for my practical. They said that A- is good enough for practical, so..i'm happy enuf with the grade.

Now, going to school is more....relax.. Gonna have fun with the students in my final week here. Share jokes with the teachers..and..see what the 'posting' has for me. ;)
