Because teaching and the learning process between teachers and students will lead the students to be more active and have big confident. the teacher use cooperative and demonstrating learning strategy in order to make the students involved.  teachers become the facilitators for students, supporting and encouraging them to explore their ability with QnA (Question and Annswer). Every meeting has time in 60 minute to complete the subject.

Teaching Plan

1. Curriculum

Education in Philippines uses K to 12 Curriculum. The K to 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School (SHS) to provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship. As a whole, the K to 12 science curriculum is learner-centered and inquiry-based, emphasizing the use of evidence in constructing explanations. Concepts and skills in Life Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, and Earth Sciences are presented with increasing levels of complexity from one grade level to another in spiral progression, thus paving the way to deeper understanding of core concepts. The integration across science topics and other disciplines will lead to a meaningful understanding of concepts and its application to real-life situations.

Teaching Practice

1. Procedures of Teaching

      After doing observation on teacher for one week, I go to the next phase, that is the real teaching step. It means I have to teach sixty minutes in the morning for Special Program Sport (Athletic) and also the reguler class. Every day I have to make two lesson plan except friday.

Special Program Sport (Athletic)

Reguler Class

2. Time Management and Organizing Activities

Sixty minutes is not so long for me, because in Indonesia we have to teach 9^th grade for 120 minutes and it is not in the classroom but in BCNHS I just teach in the classroom, so obviously that it is a must to have a good time management and well organized activities to avoid a longer or shorter duration of teaching.

3. Classroom Management

The teachers use various interactive way to make all the students keep quiet and stay focus such as giving an ice breaking and by asking questions to make all students stay focus and also let them listen again about the lesson that teach by the teachers.

4. Problem Solving

To control the class that is hard to stay focus on the lesson I always try to be their friends, so every teaching I try  to make the class more interesting by giving some indonesian term and fortunately they are very ecxited. Ma’am Jennifer said to me that I am good enough as a teacher but still has some mistakes especially in grammar and pronounciation. The way Filipino speak English is quite different with common people because they use Spain dialect and sometimes some students don’t understand becuse i use different dialect.

Observation On Teacher

1.Planning for Teaching

Before the real teaching phase, 3 days was my time to observe My Cooperating Teacher Ma'am Jennifer C. Pinlac  to know how she handle and manage the class.  She kindly teach me everything, for example how to handle the noisy class and always give me support and motivation. She taught 7^th grade and 8^th grade at Special Program in Sport (Athletic) in the morning and 9^th grade on Faith and Generosity in the afternoon.

2. Preparing Lessons and Materials

One night before teaching, the teachers should make lesson plan and prepare the  materials such as marker,manila paper etc. The teaching and learning process do not always run well. Since the media such as laptop, TV Education or speaker cannot be used properly teachers have to make plan B to run the class.

3. Teaching in the class

The teachers in BCNHS are given 60 minutes duration in maximum to teach. It includes preparation and explaining the materials. For outdoor learning, Usually teachers teach in the classroom for 20 minutes and 40 minutes outside to demonstrate.

4. Measurement and Evaluation

The teachers measure and evaluate students’ comprehension by conducting summative tests end of week. The students are given the instructions to  answer the topic they learned. The  teachers always inform the students if they are about to have summative tests,so the students could studied before.
