Reporting

 During my practicum at BTC JSS, I learned how to use the three important reporting indicators, and they helped me understand more about student learning and communication with parents. The first indicator is reporting valid information about students’ progress to students, parents, and other teachers. I had the chance to meet parents during the PTA and share each student’s learning performance and classroom behavior. At first, I felt nervous, but I saw that some parents cared more about academic results while others wanted to know about their child’s behavior and personality. This showed me that reporting helps students understand their strengths and weaknesses, helps parents know how to support their child, and helps teachers plan ways to improve learning.

The second indicator is preparing accurate progress records and keeping a student database. I recorded my students’ assessment scores, attendance, and classroom behavior in both paper folders and a digital database. This helped me track each student’s progress and made it easy to provide evidence to parents during meetings. It also helped me identify students who needed extra support to improve and reach their goals. Keeping clear records is very useful because it helps teachers and students know what needs to be done to achieve academic success.

The last indicator is conducting parent/teacher interviews at least twice a year. During these meetings, I could talk with parents about their child’s learning progress and ask for advice on how to support them. Parents shared useful information and helped me think of better ways to help students. These interviews taught me how to communicate clearly and professionally with parents, and they also helped build trust between teachers and families.

Overall, using these reporting indicators during my practicum helped me understand the importance of reporting for student learning. I learned how to communicate well with parents, keep accurate records, and work with others to support students. These experiences showed me that good reporting helps students improve, motivates them, and makes parents more involved in their child’s education.

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 add...

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. ...
