After ten weeks of interacting with the students, I remain certain in the belief that all students can learn and have a lot of potential to learn. I am fortunate to have been able to teach students who always show interest in the subjects that I teach. Although it is a challenge to keep them engaged all the time, it is always a rewarding experience when the students ask questions and show their hunger for knowledge in the classroom.
I enjoy interacting with students out of the class as well. I think it is important for teachers to maintain some form of contact with students outside the classroom as the students' well-being should be a concern to teachers. Students, especially teenagers, are at an age where they may need help managing their emotions and teachers should be there to help them if they can.
During practicum, I have come across a few students who are facing social and emotional problems within the classroom itself. These issues serve as a reminder that the school environment is not just about the academics; it is also about the students interacting with others, making friends, and on a journey to discover their strengths and weaknesses. They need a guiding hand sometimes, and we, as teachers, can be the ones to help them.
