From 19 to 22 January 2026, I conducted teaching observation in several classes, including Grade 7 STE, Grade 8 STE, Grade 11 STEM 1, and Grade 11 HUMSS 1. During this period, I learned about the Philippine K–12 curriculum, classroom management strategies, classroom rules, and time management in instructional delivery.

One important aspect I observed was the structure of the Philippine curriculum, which includes many student-centered activities. Teachers carefully manage time to ensure that discussions, group work, and assessments can be completed within the allotted period. Classroom rules were clearly explained, and students were trained to follow instructions actively and respectfully. 

Although, There is a major difference I observed is that students in Philippine public schools are generally confident and capable in using English. Since English is widely used as a medium of instruction, students are accustomed to speaking and expressing their ideas in English during class discussions

Through this observation, I gained a better understanding of how lesson flow, student participation, and classroom control are balanced to create an effective learning environment.

On 30 January 2026, I conducted my final demonstration in Grade 11 STEM 1. The topic of the lesson was Genre in Literature, including drama, poetry, fiction, and non-fiction.

The lesson consisted of three main activities. The first activity was a group task where students defined each literary genre based on their understanding. The second activity was called “Sigma’s Auction.” In this activity, I presented several literary texts, and students competed by bidding to identify the genre. The group that won the bid explained why the text belonged to a particular genre in front of the class. The final activity required each group to produce a short example of one literary genre.

The lesson exceeded my expectations. Students were energetic and actively participated in every activity. I was able to manage the class confidently. I felt more natural in delivering instructions and responding to students. The evaluators gave positive feedback on my performance, and this experience showed significant growth in my teaching ability.
