OBSERVATION REPORT | Name of the Resource Teachers Observed: Liza Aguilar and LolitNovela__School Address: Marsman, Batulao, Compound Date: February 05, 2015Grade/ Year Level: 2nd year high school Subject Area: English I & English II |

Guiding Principles in the Selection and Use of Strategies | Teaching Behavior of the Resource Teacher that Applies the Principle | 1. Learning is in active process. | The teacher discovery of the meaning and relevance of idea. | 2. The more senses that are involved, the more and the better the learning. | The teacher let the students to share their insights in the class and ideas. Conducting group activity is her better way to apply the learning with use of the senses. | 3. A non- threatening atmosphere enhances learning. | The teacher was open- minded in dealing students different capabilities and individualities. | 4.Emotion has the power to increase retention and learning | The teacher appreciates the work of her students even what it is. To boost up the students to do more. | 5. Good teaching goes beyond recall of information. | The teacher post her objectives before starting the class and refreshing his lesson so that the students can recall the topic. | 6. Learning is meaningful when it is connected to students’ everyday life | The medium in learning is the learners itself. When the learning is being process students can reflect the learning. | 7. An integrated teaching approach is far more effective than teaching isolated bits of information. | Integrated teaching approach is far more effective, because of the demands and the challenges face by the students today they cannot only rely on one method. |

* ------------------------------------------------- My Analysis Are these principles in accordance with brain- based teaching and learning? Yes, because we could categorize student learning (information, values or skills, etc.) in many ways. One way to group it would be to answer the question: “Was the knowledge “actively constructed” or “transferred” to you. The human brain is designed for interactive learning. The human being is more helpless at birth than most other mammals. We are born more than “open” to environmental input; we require it to develop our brain properly. Without interactive visual, auditory and tactile input, our systems misfire and underperform. But our brains are designed to actively manage our experiences, not passively “download” them. * ------------------------------------------------- My Reflections What is the best method of teaching? Is there such thing? A teaching method comprises the principles and methods used for instruction. Commonly used teaching methods may include class participation, demonstration, recitation, memorization, or combinations of these. The choice of teaching method or methods to be used depends largely on the information or skill that is being taught, and it may also be influenced by the aptitude and enthusiasm of the students * ------------------------------------------------- My Portfolio Illustrate your reflection on the best method of teaching creatively on this page. In order to teach creativity, one must teach creatively; that is, it will take a great deal of creative effort to bring out the most creative thinking in your classes. Of course, creativity is not the only required element for creative instructors. They must also know their fields and know how to create an appropriate learning environment.
