Reflecon of the Demo Teaching “In everything you do, do your best” Whenever I heard the word demonstraon, I always have this noon that it would be resome and a burden in my part. Most of the me, I listen to students’ complaints on how much money they had spent in a demonstraon for the instruconal materials, the detailed Lesson Plan that they will have to accomplish as well as the perfect ouit on such task. Because of that, I had my so called ‘grudge for the said demonstraon but that is due to the menoned factors and not on the emoonal stress that it would insll me. Unfortunately, as a teacher, I know that I will always experience that in school. And now is the ‘lucky me’, as part of our requirement in our subject, I felt that bigger obligaon was placed on me specially that we are assigned to teach Grade 9 students from the ITL, which is my very first me to conduct such in a real and authenc classroom seng with real students. At this moment however, I never felt any pressure at all for I believe in myself and an addional factor is I have a great partner who can catch me if ever I make a mess in the demonstraon. The preparaon of our task is not even burdensome for we easily made our Lesson Plan and made specialized task for both of us to accomplish faster. Before our demo, I can say that everything was already seled. We are already wearing our formal ares and reached the venue 30 minutes before assigned me of our demonstraon. Time cked so fast unl we realized that it’s already judgment day. We entered the room and I felt a very warm and welcoming atmosphere from our students as well as the adviser of that subject. Things went on smoothly with my partner taking charge the first phase of our demonstraon. I am enjoying watching the students recite and laugh and parcipate in the class. Finally my me came and I felt nothing but excited. Frankly saying I’m not feeling any fear or demovaon but rather I can fell an overpowering confidence encompassing me. At that me, I can say that I behaved extra authoritave to my students yet sll maintained a low affecve environment thus elicing students’ parcipaon. Finally our session ended so fast that I felt like doing that acvity over and over again. I realized that through the demonstraon I believed that we should always have a second plan in anything we are doing. This has something to do with the projector that we are using which has not funcon easily that I sll have to run real fast with my wedge! Take note my partner volunteered me to do it, which for me should be the other way around since he is a guy. Nevertheless, our demonstraon ended successfully. We received posive feedbacks from the teachers and I was extremely flaered when she said that among all the demonstrators in our class, it us who meet more that her expectaon. We are so proud to ourselves and happiness is really overflowing on us. Sadly I and my partner were not able to take our selfies! Nonetheless, looking forward for another acvity like that and hoping that next me it would be made individually. I guess tht would be more interesng and really challenging!
