My Teaching Internship has played a crucial role in my

teacher. In this journal, I’ve recorded the valuable
lessons, challenges, and personal growth I’ve

observations, and learning experiences that I’ve gained
from witnessing classroom dynamics and the
intricacies of the educational process. This journal
represents the knowledge and passion I’ve developed
during my Teaching Internship, a time that has deeply
influenced my perspective on teaching and renewed
my excitement for this fulfilling profession.
First and foremost, I thank God for granting me the strength,
patience, and wisdom to successfully complete this journey.
To my professor, Ms. Marry Ann A. Aclao, thank you for your
unwavering guidance, encouragement, and support. Your

This report summarizes my Teaching Internship at the Junior
High School Department of the University of Southern
Philippines Foundation. I was assigned to the Lahug Campus
from January to February, and continued at the Mabini Campus
from March to April 11.
The internship aimed to provide hands-on teaching experience,
improve my classroom management skills, and deepen my
understanding of student-teacher interaction. It was a
meaningful journey that helped me grow both professionally
and personally.
Both campuses offered a supportive and engaging environment.
The dedication of the faculty and the energy of the students
made the experience enriching and memorable. Throughout the
internship, I took part in various activities, including:
Classroom Instruction – I observed how teachers effectively
applied strategies to teach lessons such as prepositions and
literary analysis.
Student Performances – I helped facilitate poetry
presentations and Greek comic play rehearsals, which
encouraged student creativity.
Exam Administration – I assisted in preparing and
administering exams, gaining insight into assessment
practices.
Extracurricular Events – I joined school-wide activities like
MathSci-yaw and English Month, which highlighted student
talents beyond the classroom.
Teaching Demonstrations – I conducted lessons on tone and
mood and the argumentative essay, receiving valuable
feedback to improve my teaching.
This internship has been a rewarding experience that
strengthened my passion for teaching and prepared me for the
classroom ahead.
