MY EXPECTATION FROM THE STUDENT TEACHING PROGRAM
As a student who is currently taking up Bachelor of Secondary Education, I am
expecting a lot of things in this student teaching program. Student teaching program as
far as I know is the training field of every future educators. In this program, I am
expecting that a future educator will experience a lot of things inside a diverse classroom.
As a practice teacher, it will serve as a big opportunity for me because in this training
field, we can feel of what is really like to be a real teacher.
Different attitudes, behaviors and personalities will greet me in this training
program. I am expecting this because all the students inside a classroom have different
religions, beliefs, customs and traditons. It will serve as a very challenging part to me
because I will deal with their different behaviors but I know that these challenges that I
will face will give me lessons and will test how far can I control my patience if I am
really strong enough. I know the students are different especially financially, I want to
test myself on how I am going to cope up with these challenges. The experience that I
will acquire from this program will give me additional knowledge on how to be a real
teacher in the future because everything that I will do in my practice teaching is the start
of my journey as a future teacher. I believe that after this program, it will mold and shape
me as an effective teacher in the future. They said that “ Experice is the best teacher” and
I really agree with that belief. Through this experience, I can monitor what kind of a
teacher is me. Also I know that it is not enough for me that I will only demonstrate in
front of my classmates and my instructor but training outside will give much pleasure to
really love teaching.

In additional, I am also expecting that my cooperating school will welcome us
gratefully especially my cooperating teacher because I know that in my training days,
only my cooperating teacher will help me what to do and how I am going to start with
this training. Besides, I am expecting that my cooperating teacher will be a mother-like to
me to always support, guide, and lift me up. I know that in this journey, my cooperating
teacher will also be the one to make me as an effective teacher. Although I had learned a
lot of knowledge during my previous years in the campus, this time I will grow more by
the help of my cooperating teacher. I will expect that through the times of my failure, I
can easily stand up and fight back. I really belive that after this training, I will be able to
mange myself first in front of my students and how to teach eefectively because the
teacher is the great factor in this field. Without teachers, the world is like a blind person
who can see things properly. After all, I can see myself effectively teaching and dealing
with the different students in these 60 days of training.
