I usually teach high school students since my course was secondary high school, but I can also teach elementary school since my children also have social studies as a subject, so my guidance as a parent and teacher at the same time is still possible.
In lesson planning preparation, it is more important to consider the objective of the lesson. What should the student learn in terms of cognitive, affective, and psychomotor skills. And of course, the content of the lesson should be appropriate to the student's year level.
I measure progress and assess learning outcomes for my students using diagnostic, formative, and summative tests. This way I can see where the student struggled, what he/she lacked in that part, and which part he/she still needs to improve. During lessons, of course, it would be better if I used a holistic approach like Bloom's Taxonomy so that his/her improvement could be seen more clearly in his/her assessment.
Yes, I give, but I prefer not to always. Studying is tiring and exhausting, and I believe that students also need rest and relaxation, especially for their mental health. A day or two without giving them homework is a good way to at least reduce their burden from the fatigue of studying. Besides, by giving them assignments, I am giving them a chance to practice, and the feedback I can give will be their guide to further improve their understanding and thinking.
I often use Google Meet and Zoom as communication tools during live sessions. For my presentation, I always prefer to use MS PowerPoint and Google Slides/Google Docs. I make sure that the presentation is simple and not overloaded but that there are ideas and learnings that can be learned. There are also many interactive tools that can be used, like Jamboard, Kahoot, or Quizizz, so that students are not just answering but also thinking and doing. There are also many video resources on YouTube that I carefully check to see if they are appropriate to use in the lesson, and the lesson will be guided by questions.
Yes, I do provide support outside scheduled lesson times, but I can't reply right away but students can still approach me since I also have a personal life outside digital platforms. And I do hope my students understand me. I set boundaries and respect towards time and availability.
Students are more motivated when the lesson is related to a real-life context because they are more likely to think of their own experiences that they can share and connected to the topic. That way, I can also have a bond with the student so that I can get to know him/her. Then the tasks should not be overwhelming; even if they only achieve smaller parts, they can still build small wins and self-confidence. It is also important that their effort in participation is recognized, not just their correct answers. It is important that they feel like they are in a supportive class and not feel left out.
Yes. When I was teaching in Junior High during my OJT, I had a student in one section who was blind. So every time we had a quiz, I used multiple choice. The set up was that their class president would be next to him and he would write the blind person's answer on his paper, so that he could answer, I would read the question aloud to him along with the set of possible answers and then he would sign if his answer was 1 letter A, if his answer was 2 letters B, the same goes for the C and D options. It was also challenging for me to have an entire class that was mute and deaf since I didn't specialize in students with special needs, so what I do is I try my best to do even the little gestures like thank you or good morning just to communicate with them. Then in my presentation, I use an app for the mute and deaf to explain the topic. But still that moments was the best experience for me as a teacher, it really test my patience and dedication towards my students with special needs.
