Episode 1 THERMOMETER CHECK Target, Map, Your Tools Observation Report on Interaction ENGLISH Observations

Student-to-Student Interaction Patterns: Interaction between the students more time consume than their interaction to their teacher inside the classroom. Those students interact to their seatmates that are not with the subject. More on boys are so talkative, their interact to their classmate whether they have the teacher or none. But when the class starting they can participate to the class. They are aggressive in answering the question of their teacher. Everyone has their own topics but not related into the lesson. Student-to-Teacher Interaction Patterns: Their interact to their teacher very kind and obedient. They are all rising their hands, they are all want to answer the question and if the subject is English they cannot speak any Filipino language. They are good in answering in English language; all are participating and answering the question of their teachers. Student-to-Non-Teaching Personal Interaction Patterns: interaction between students and non teaching personnel good. Because they are obedient in other person inside and outside the school. They show courteousity by means of interaction. They respect the non teaching personnel as a teacher, and they it also called sir and maam despite that they are only non teaching personnel. Their janitor also called sir started before, until now. They have an excellent interaction between non teaching personnel from the student. Teacher-to-Teacher Interaction Patterns: They are all respectfully by means of interaction. Their interact tot their other teacher with the respect to each other. They have a good interaction also inside the classroom. When the teacher has a class their other teacher called him and talk outside the classroom, they dont want to disturb the class and follow their ethics. They dont want to have some disturbance to their class for being focus. Teacher-to-Student Interaction Patterns: Teacher interacts to their students also in English language and full of patient. Teacher called all of the students before the class will end. Teacher called it one by one to answer the question. Teacher motivates his students and easily gets their interest. She speak respectful to their students and she always smile until she feel angry because of the talkative students. They have the good interaction between the students and the teachers. Enriching Activities

Create a scenario where any of the above interactions occur in the school. Make a script of their dialogue, bearing in mind that this partnership is built on developing a climate of respect, harmony and cooperation. My Script Teacher to Students Interaction In a meeting T: okay let me know first who is not around S: maam Ms. Azul was absent T; why? S; maam because she has as headache T; okay, who else? Nothing? Only Ms. Azul is absent? S; yes! Maam T; let proceed to our meeting. Our agenda is all about the forming of drum and lyre corp. who can play a drum 1st? S; maam Im slightly know how to play a drum T; who else? S; maam me too, I also know how play a drum T; how about at the back? Who knows how to play a drum? S; maam I want to play a drum but I cant know how to play it T; we will teach you how to play it. In girls who know how to play a xylophone? S; maam I already know it maam. S; maam me too have some song that Ive already played in xylophone. T; no one else? We have 3 boys and 3 girls that already know how to play our instruments. But where do we get our instruments? S; maam I suggest that maybe we need to solicited it by the election candidates. T; good idea Mr. right, any other suggestions? S; I suggest that we buy our own musical instruments. T; do you agree to that? We must have a voting to what are in the majority. Any reactions, suggestions? At the back? Analysis T; ok. We will end our meeting. Why is a classroom a miniature of a greater society? The teacher or professor plays the role of the leader/monarch, while the students are the citizens. The citizens are supposed to follow the rules and laws of the society (class) that the leaders (teachers) set. In every classroom, there are different kinds of people: Those who work hard, those who play hard, those who do both, those who do neither. In society, you also get these kinds of people. There will also probably be little cliques, in this case, representative of small groups in society. Then there are the high class, those who fly past everything without hitches, the middle class who get by, and the lower class who are really struggling to keep up with the coursework. The teacher may offer remedial sessions, which can be compared to any welfare packages that the government decides to hand out. What are found in the classrooms that are similar to what can be observed in society?

on Focus: COOPERATIO N

Almost any human interaction that can be found in society will be seen, to some extent, in a classroom. There will almost always be a more assertive student, much like the bullying boss who we all can't stand. There will also almost always be those who think that they know more than anyone else (whether they do or not), much like the coworkers that you will find in any business.

(Described how the teacher communicates the lesson and how the learners are responding to the teacher. Take note of the manner the teachers accept or rejects the responses of the learners. You may presents your observations though directs quotes from the teachers and learners in dialogue)
Your analysis:

How important are dialogue and substantive conversation in the classroom in terms of students learning? Theoretically, they're very important because they enable the teacher to see if the students are capable of analyzing and synthesizing material. The reality of the situation (that I've learned over 25 years of secondary classroom experience) is that it can become a vehicle for students to avoid more class work. High school students love to discuss. We discuss literature and museum, but I have to know when it's time to stop the conversation and move on. Many students just want to be heard, so kids will start repeating what someone else has said just so they can get class participation recognition. They realize that if they don't keep the conversation going, we might actually (can you imagine this!) get back to doing some work! One of the downsides is that some kids will use this time to take a mental vacation. While everyone else is contributing to the dialogue, someone will shut down. You could try all you want to draw the student into the conversation, but if he's unwilling it becomes a distraction and ruins the flow of the dialogue. Yes, dialogue is important, but the teacher has to control the amount of time dedicated to it so that it doesn't turn into an escape. What learning benefits could teachers and students draw from intentional classroom dialogue? They can find out how other people live and how education is handled in that country. They can learn about other cultures and how the culture itself is related to educational methodologies. Teachers can learn new techniques and may also benefit by getting an idea about students in their own classes that come from that culture. New ideas always come about through dialogue with other people, other cultures, and other nations. Discuss with your FS classmates your thoughts on dialogue in curriculum Design. Then write down your thoughts as well as those of your classmates.

Analysis: What should teachers know about curriculum design? Knowing about curriculum design and different learning styles empowers you to develop and adapt lessons to meet the needs of the learners to better serve the community. In my teaching experience in the US and abroad (mostly in the Pacific/Asian area), I have encountered many teachers who follow prepared texts and lesson plans with an almost blind disregard for the students and the real world needs of the local community. As a result, many students graduate with high marks but very low ability to function in society. Going across cultures, it seems than some countries "modernize" their education system without regard to the culture

embedded in the educational methods they adopt. This has led to some notable misfits and disjoints that make things even more difficult due to the cultural conflicts that result. Curriculum design, like computer programming, is something teachers should know about (be aware of) but not everyone HAS to do it. It should be done by those who are effective at doing it. But every teacher should know about it so they can recognize problems and be able to converse about curriculum design. In this way, they can at least convey vital information to curriculum designers and contribute to improving the system rather than to be a passive "victim" of an ineffective educational system.v What do most principles and theories of curriculum development have in common? How is this commonality expressed or spelled out in the curriculum of the class you have observed? Curriculum as process We have seen that the curriculum as product model is heavily dependent on the setting of behavioural objectives. The curriculum, essentially, is a set of documents for implementation. Another way of looking at curriculum theory and practice is via process. In this sense curriculum is not a physical thing, but rather the interaction of teachers, students and knowledge. In other words, curriculum is what actually happens in the classroom and what people do to prepare and evaluate. What we have in this model is a number of elements in constant interaction. It is an active process and links with the practical form of reasoning set out by Aristotle. EPISODE 4 Observation Report analysis: How important is involvement of all stakeholders of the school in the school program and activities. I am not sure it is really important to involve ALL stakeholders in school's program, if you mean school curricula. If they are not specialized in some areas, they can do many errors.But it seems to involve stakeholders in school activities is very important. They are interested in schools life, and to be only "observers" - does make no since. What specific principle of curriculum development justifies the importance of cooperation and collaboration among all stakeholders of the school?

Planning strategies

How important is it for teachers and curriculum planners to anchor their curricular plans to specific theories and principles of curriculum development? Aside from the teachers, who else should be involved in the curriculum planning? Expound your answer. A curriculum outlines the big ideas, not the methods (that's in reference to another poster). The curriculum comes from the state department. It tells the teachers what is to be taught at any grade level and subject area. No one else should be involved. Teachers teach what their responsibility to teach is legally. Methods, on the other hand . . . how that curriculum is presented to the students . . . many people need input into that: district board personnel, principals, teachers, teachers' assistants, parents, students, etc. Whatever is deemed to be best practice should be practiced for the good of the students.

Cooperation and partnership in curriculum design I think it is great! You've always heard "two heads are better than one." When collaborating with your colleagues and forming a partnership, you will be able to take your ideas and theirs when designing your curriculum. Past experiences on your behalf and your colleagues can be implemented in your design.
Curriculum Design
Each of the units of work from our Curriculum Framework has been cooperatively designed by small groups of teachers in consultation with the schools Curriculum Coordinator. For this purpose, each class teacher is released from their teaching duties to develop, refine and plan for, the implementation of each of their units of work. This model of curriculum planning, operating since 2000, continues to be an evolutionary process. Each time that a unit of work is scheduled for implementation, the implementing teacher team redefines the unit, based on the previous work done, to best suit the needs and interests of their current students. Over the time, since 2000, units have gained significant strength in their design and therefore in more recent planning sessions, a greater emphasis has been placed on dialogue about pedagogy, authentic assessment and inclusive practices. The underlining principles of the Cooperative Planning Process are: Utilisation of the individual professional strengths and collective wisdom and experiences of teachers. Promotion of professional dialogue in the form of:

Review and reflection of current strategies and practices; Development and implementation of new and innovative pedagogical strategies; Development of avenues for increasing the intellectual rigor of the key tasks of the unit; Development and implementation of effective supportive classroom strategies; Decisions about the timing and pace of curriculum implementation; Review of and implementation of relevant strategies that recognise student difference.

Miniature society..Well, for one because what you learn in the classroom should reflect on how the student will act in our society. Teachers should teach students about our society and our place in it so when students grow up then can change what needs to be changed. If students learn tolerance, and respect in the classroom chances are they will employ those behavior outside the classroom. Likewise, they need learn about social diversity because classrooms nowadays are diverse. In our diverse society, it is important to teach students a greater awareness of others around them, especially those who are different. Cultural diversity is a driving force of development, not only in respect of economic growth, but also as a means of leading a more fulfilling intellectual, emotional, moral and spiritual life. Teaching culture diversity brings language skills, new ways of thinking, and creative solutions to difficult problems and negotiating skills in life. etc. I'm sure you can add more to this- this should be a start. The teacher or professor plays the role of the leader/monarch, while the students are the citizens. The citizens are suposed to follow the rules and laws of the society (class) that the leaders (teachers) set. In every classroom, there are different kinds of people: Those who work hard, those who play hard, those who do both, those who do neither. In society, you also get these kinds of people. There will also probably be little cliques, in this case, representative of small groups in society. Then there are the high class, those who fly past everything without hitches, the middle class who get by, and the lower class who are really struggling to keep up with the coursework. The teacher may offer remedial sessions, which can be compared to any welfare packages that the government decides to hand out.

What are found in classroom..

There are many things that are similar in the classroom and the society we lived in, first is that inside the classroom there is a teacher that acts as their parents the same as the family in our society. The way does how the students interact in the class can be compared to daily interaction of individuals. Here are some that i know can you help me to give me more information about the things can be found in classroom similar to society! Yeah, the classroom is the training room for students and even teachers for the larger environment and that is the society we lived in or life itself in general. I agree with your thoughts, and in addition, we add to that the different challenges that students face on their day to day basis in school with the way they deal with their peers, classmates and teachers. It allows them to make appropriate responses, behave and act to different situations. Plus the ability on how to be able to work hard for a success and be able to accept and try again for failure. Grades measures the achievements one has already attained. This is one of many areas I can see that a classroom has similarity with the society. Another thing is that we also formed an organization inside the classroom like the organization in our society a barraggay officials for example,

what must teachers know about the process of curriculum developmen Q. A. Teachers need to know WHY certain items are put in the curriculum. This means understanding federal, state, and local standards. It also means understanding past student performance. Curriculum development is a detailed process, taking into account what needs to be learned, what is tested, what students need to know in the next grade, what they should have learned in the previous grade, and what aspects of other subjects can and should be reinforced. I've written history curriculum for my district, and it is definitely detailed. However, the majority of it is based on state standards. As a teacher, get to know your state's standards in detail. Your curriculum is probably based 95% on it. Why Should Teachers Know About Curriculum Design? Knowledge of curriculum design is important for understanding the
arc of the educational year. If teachers have some experience of this they will better understand the importance of each unit they are teaching during the year and how it relates to other units both past and present. It is also good for them to understand the reasons behind the model for the curriculum they are teaching. Most employers will be impressed if a teacher has done some curriculum design in the past as this indicates the teacher has shown initiative and interest in the wider scope of their job. Administration is a large part of teaching and so any experience in this area is usually favorable.
