Image
  My teaching internship experience has been a roller coaster ride of emotions. I get to taste the sweetest and at the same time I get to taste the sour of waters. However, this different taste of experiences taught me to what its really like to be a teacher. With the supervision of my brilliant mentor who guide me along and help me to become the kind of teacher that I want to be. She helped me to put all theories and methodologies into action.

       “Teaching is a passion not only a profession”. I learned that this saying is true when I have my practice teaching for three months. The world of teaching is not easy. I encountered a lot of difficulties and challenges during my teaching internship but these help me to develop my future profession. I felt mixed emotions when I first thought about practice teaching.

I am worried that I am not going to be the kind of teacher I had hoped I would be most especially that the mode of teaching is through online. The only weapon that I have before was prayer.

   Education is the key for development; however, it is impossible to think the quality of education without having academically qualified and professional responsible teachers. Practice teaching is an important component towards becoming a teacher. It provides experiences to student teachers in the actual teaching and learning environment. During teaching practice, a student-teacher is given the opportunity to try the art of teaching before actually getting into the real world of the teaching profession. Student-teachers also know the value of teaching practice and they perceive it as the important aspect of their preparation for the teaching profession since it provides for the real interface between student hood and membership of the profession. Teaching is a profession and teaching needs a lot of time to spend. I can say that teaching is too hard, wherein you need to be serious in every step. February-May, I gained a lot of experiences interms of preparing my lesson plan...
