What progress have you made in terms of your own personal targets for TP this semester? Which TP competencies do you feel you achieved and which do you think that you need to focus on next time? Discuss ways in which you could do this. (S)&(T) One of the personal goals achieved in this TP is that I have made myself responsible and role the class when I was given a lesson and I earning the respect of students, and I was very happy when I saw that students listen to me and do what they are ordered to do, and I tried to use all the strategies that I have studied this year in the class and has succeeded with me and I was happy that my studied did not go vain, but I think I need a little focus in some of the strategies, because I have not used it a bit, and to do that I have to watch the teacher well and write notes in order to know the correct way to use all the strategies and teaching methods.

What evidence of learning did you identify/document today? Relate this to the ADEC curriculum goals.

Compare this with previous TP experience and where possible make links with college based learning. (S)&(T) Today, because I gave a whole lesson for this I learned a lot about the role of the teacher in the classroom and in school, first, advance planning for the lesson and activities accurately to get new ideas for education and teaching effective, secondly, I learned through the activities must work with the groups to assess their understanding of the lesson and interact with them, thirdly, as I learned give fair punishments to students who break the classroom rules, and at the conclusion of the lesson must review the lesson with the students through several methods. Lastly, the teacher role of school its monitors at break time, lunch and play ground, also in times of extra-curricular activities.
