 A. Supang National High School

On that Monday morning, I went to Supang National High School accompanied by my Nanays (Name for mothers in Hiligaynon) from GSU to meet our Cooperating Teachers. My cooperating teacher there was Ma'am Phoemy Joy Galanza, she is a science Teacher in Grade 9. She handled five classes in a day from Monday to Friday.

The first class that I started to observe was the 9-Gold Class, the advisory class of my Cooperating Teacher. Before she started the class, she gave me the lesson plan for the week. She started the class with greetings, praying, and checking on the students' attendance. 

The current topic that was delivered for that day was about the part of the human heart, the circulatory system. She was telling the students about parts of the heart and its function. After that, she evaluated the students by providing them a picture of a heart without the names of the parts (blank), and the students needed to name it correctly. 

Not only that, but she also did games called cabbage relay for the review at the next meeting. She was doing the relay while playing music on television there and when the cabbage stopped, the student that was holding the cabbage needed to take one paper from the cabbage and answer the question on it.

She let the students explore by providing an activity called 'The Rythm of My Heart', where the students needed to do some activities and count their heartbeat after that, so they would know whether their heartbeat was in normal condition or not.

B. Buenavista National High School

We arrived at Buenavista National High School on Monday morning right when they were still doing the flag ceremony. After the ceremony ended, we were introduced to the students there and also the Cooperating Teachers who will accompany us in our observation and practice teaching. 

My cooperating teacher was Ma'am Myshiel G. Montelle, she is a science teacher in grade 9. She guided me about the students' behavior, and how they divided into their classes, and gave me the lesson plan for the week.

When the class was ready to begin, she opened the class with a greeting and prayer. She also didn't forget to check the student's attendance. The topic for the day was the lifestyle, a continuation of the previous material, the circulatory system. She asked the students if they knew about lifestyle, what is the meaning of that, and the example. After discussing the current topic, in order to evaluate the students she asked them to list some kind of activities and divide them into good and bad lifestyles. after it's finished, the student can talk about their lifestyle in front of the class. Before Ma'am Myshiel dismissed the class, she asked the students to find some terms and their definitions related to the next topic, genetics.

For the next day, the learning process was supported by a PPT made by the Teacher. She was asking the students about which characteristic is inherited and acquired. She also provided the students some questions and led them into discussion. after the discussion ended, she asked if the students there are a product of genetics or not, and dismissed the class with a quote.

Summary and Suggestions

Despite the distance between Indonesia and the Philippines, we managed to travel there safe and sound. We had to take two flights to get there, one from Indonesia to Manila and the other from Manila to Iloilo. We used a fiber boat to cross the Iloilo river on our way to Guimaras Province, specifically the town of Buenavista, and land transportation going to Guimaras State University. It was indeed a complete travel. Our first arrival at Buenavista, Guimaras with Dr. Joel Japitana, the Director of International Linkages, Guimaras State University My purpose in joining the Seateacher is to observe, practice, and learn about education outside my country, and it's complete now. Not only about the education, I also got the chance to learn about the culture and environment and got to know the people closely. Besides that, I got new stories, new memories, and new families. The essence of joining the Seateacher Programme is full of experiences. The practice teaching that I did at both scho...

Teaching Plan

The curriculum that is applied in Supang and Buenavista National High School is called Kto12 (Kindergarten to grade 12). This curriculum is made by the Department of Education in the Philippines. The materials that are delivered to the student have been determined by the curriculum itself. So, therefore, I believe that the best choice to learn, practice, and deliver the materials there is by following the Kto12 curriculum. I made the teaching plan based on the teaching plan that was given to me. I look at my CT's teaching plan as an example. The teaching plan, it was divided into six parts; Objectives, Content, Learning Resources, Procedures, Remarks, and Reflection. Basically, the lesson plan that I found from my Cooperating Teacher in Guimaras is not that different compared to the plan that I learned in Indonesia. They have objectives,  content, resources, methods, procedures, and reflection. One part that I would like to highlight here is the procedure, the procedure in the Indo...

 A. Supang National High School The school started as Buenavista National High School Extension with only 5 teachers but last 2007, through the effort of their municipal mayor it became Supang National High School. Located in Supang, Buenavista, Guimaras, Philippines. Now, it has more than a thousand students divided from grade seven to grade twelve. Me and the kids playing badminton in Supang NHS Supang National High School got full academic support from the Department of Education-Guimaras and the local government unit. They provide technical assistance per school. It is a team of supervisors who are in charge of giving assistance and monitoring of the school. The teacher told me that at first, they were struggling during the implementation of Kto12 (The curriculum there), because before they only had four years in high school, but pieces of training and seminars helped them become more equipped to embrace the Kto12 system up to now. They do have the curriculum guide for eac...
