Report journal

 I attended one of the parent interviews and was very happy to spend the time. It was a short interview with the parents that took 10-15 minutes with each of the parents and guardians of the students. I was happy to meet face to face my students' parents and talk a lot about their children's performances in school. While I was having my interviews with the parents I learned that lots of the parents do not know about their children's behaviors and results in schools. There are many parents who worked and got exhausted to listen with their children on how's school. I understand this is the main reason why lots of students continue not making good efforts in school. So, I had to give some simple and good advice to the parents who suggested on what my opinion to help them with dealing with their children's weaknesses. I told some parents to make an effort every weekend to check and counsel their children about school. 

During that day, I was happy to make plans with the parents on how to help their children in some of their areas of weakness. For example, most of my students in my class do not like to speak in English, and they find it very difficult to stand up and communicate using English, especially during presentations. I learned that students are afraid to speak in English not because they can't speak it but because they are afraid of being mocked by others. Some of the parents were ready to help their children practice speaking in English at home in order for their children to find it easy to use the language in school. 

Journal on Evaluation

At the end of term one, 2023, at Animwarao Jss, I was delighted to be assigned the duty of preparing statistical data as an evaluation for my year seven social science students from the yellow. I was glad because during that time I learned new things about how to work with Excel, which allows me to insert the names of my students and prepare a graph for me to see how many of my students accomplished or did not achieve the learning outcomes. I learned that using Excel for data gathering and evaluation was a novel way that seemed tough at first but was later found to be quick and beneficial in generating an evaluation for my pupils. 

After completing my evaluation, I created a graph demonstrating that the majority of my students earned the first learning outcome, while some of my students achieved the last learning outcome. At this time, I realized that I needed to focus more on the final learning outcomes in order to help my students improve their scores for the final learning outcomes. Also, my statistic assessment graph informed me that my pupils struggle to compose their own paragraphs, which is why those students find the final section of the learning outcome difficult to complete. I had to come up with various innovations that I wanted to employ to help my students, such as giving some paragraph writing suggestions to my students and demonstrating more on how to conduct paragraph writing.
