Ethical Behavior and Personal Values

During my practicum at BTC JSS, I learned the importance of ethical behavior and personal values in teaching. I realized that being honest, fair, and respectful in all interactions with students, colleagues, and the school community is essential for creating a positive learning environment. One important indicator I practiced was diligence, which included completing attendance registers, roster duties, and reports accurately and on time. I made sure my classroom resources were well-organized and safe, which helped me deliver lessons smoothly and allowed students to engage fully in the learning activities. Being diligent also meant taking responsibility for my own teaching and preparing lessons carefully so that every student had the opportunity to succeed.

Another key indicator I focused on was willingness to work out-of-school hours to enhance learning. I stayed after school to help students who needed extra support in understanding English grammar and vocabulary. I also prepared additional worksheets and exercises at home to ensure that all students could achieve the lesson objectives. Through this, I saw how spending extra time with students helped them catch up, improved their understanding, and increased their confidence. It also allowed me to interact more closely with students and build stronger relationships, which made the learning experience more meaningful for them.

Finally, I practiced enthusiasm and excitement in teaching, which helped make lessons interesting and engaging for my students. I used effective teaching resources, interactive activities, and real-life examples to motivate students to participate actively. By showing excitement about the subject and encouraging students’ curiosity, I noticed that they became more eager to learn and were willing to explore new ideas. My enthusiasm also created a positive classroom atmosphere and helped students feel more confident in their learning.

In conclusion, my practicum experience taught me that ethical behavior and personal values are crucial for being an effective teacher. By being diligent, willing to work beyond school hours, and enthusiastic about teaching, I was able to create a supportive and engaging learning environment. These experiences helped me understand how teachers’ personal values and ethics directly impact student growth and success.

Alternative curricular

  The alternative curriculum has gained significant importance in recent years as it provides a more holistic and inclusive approach to learning. This approach recognizes that every student learns differently and has different interests, abilities, and talents. Traditional curricula often focus on rote memorization and repetition, which can lead to a lack of engagement and motivation among students. In contrast, alternative curricula provide opportunities for students to explore their interests, develop new skills, and build confidence. In my own teaching practice, I have implemented alternative curricular activities that have had a positive impact on my students' learning experiences. One such activity is the outdoor game of triple jump, which I conducted with Year 7 students during a block teaching session. This activity was designed to promote physical education, coordination, and spatial awareness while working towards achieving specific learning outcomes. Students were divided...

Caring relationship

   Wednesday, November the 1 st , there was no class that day because students will be going on a field trip to the museum and the agriculture that is due with their environmental study and a KCS. Our associate teacher allowed us to accompany her students during the field trip. She told us to take care of her students because some of them are naughty. Firstly, we gather them in the middle and sing with them before their transport comes. They are very excited to see everything at the museum because they already know that all the things there are made in Kiribati and the history of our country is also stored there. Half an hour later, the transport arrived. We tell them to form two lines and march to the truck. They got on the truck slowly and sat properly. We try our best to look after them when they are all on the truck to make sure they are all safe. We reached the museum safely and told them to march slowly to the maneaba and waited there for our turn to enter the museum. ...
