“From Local to International Classroom: Teaching Experience with SEA-Teachers”
Hello, my name is Firstca Rachma Apbrilia. I am a third-year student majoring in Elementary School Teacher Education, Faculty of Teacher Training and Education, Universitas Muhammadiyah Surakarta, Central Java, Indonesia. Maybe I am a student who is not too active, so I participated in this program to broaden my horizons and maybe make me get out of my comfort zone.
I had the opportunity to join the Sea-teacher program in the Philippines and became a representative of my college. Next, I will share the experiences I had in the Philippines during my teaching practice.
I am also very enthusiastic about this program, I participated in this program completely out of my plan but this program made me explore more about the world of education.

Academic support system
The academic instructional support system, according to what I observed, involves the use of projectors to display teachers' PowerPoint presentations. In certain cases, teachers use the blackboard to provide clearer explanations in the classroom. The practice occurred in every class from grades 1-6 that I observed, but was also consistent across grades. In addition, teachers also benefit from internet connectivity via Wi-Fi. Outside the classroom, the school also provides adequate facilities, including a library, canteen, and provides packaged books for students.
