My Analysis
Complete the structure frame.

Orientation sessions are conducted because it lays concise and accurate information to
make us comfortable being an intern. It set a venue for an opportunity to answer questions and
define roles, assess skill level and experience, set expectations, and anticipate head off
problems. They are also conducted in order to ensure the orderly transition of moods,
behaviors, and to size up the needs of the new normal we have due to COVID-19 pandemic.
Orientation sessions give background to pre-service teacher to what is and what is not, to how
and to why a certain rule needs to enact.

I need to follow the policies and procedures of the cooperating school so that it will not
affect the good relationship of the cooperating principal and my supervisor. As a preparation
to teaching profession, I need to show professionalism through following my cooperating
principal and their set of rules. It is also a way in which you show respect to them.

My Reflections / My Insights
A. How did I feel after the orientation? Complete the empty face and explain why you felt that
way? What are your joys / apprehensions?

I felt happy and slightly comfortable after the orientation because it gave us information of
what we need to do and what are the things we should remember always especially the rules and
routines of my cooperating school .It answers my questions that caused me to feel nervous and
afraid during that time. Even if they gave the information what are the things we need to do. I
still felt nervous since that was the time when we will meet our pupils and cooperating teacher
for the first time.

B. Am I really prepared to teach? Why? Why not?

I’m not a totally 100% prepared to teach because I still need to overcome my
apprehensions in teaching. I know how to handle and manage the class but when it comes in
teaching, I’m not that really prepared. Sometimes I don’t know how I will deliver my instruction
where pupils will motivate to learn and understand clearly what I taught. When it comes to my
discussion, I’m lack of good understanding of the content you teach and ability to transform it
with clear and succinct messages.
