Caring relation journal

On this particular day, I was establishing a compassionate connection with one of its indicators, who was "aggressively taking charge of following up on student absences and non-attendance." This signal assisted me in understanding the significance of why kids must attend lessons in order to do well in school. A teacher who does not verify his or her pupils' attendance is uninterested in assisting those students. I discovered that teachers who are interested in their student's attendance want to help them by encouraging them to be more active and attentive at school.

The first thing I learned from tracking kids' absences and non-attendance is that it helps me understand my obligations as a teacher to care for and encourage my pupils to attend school. I am aware that many pupils have challenges at home that may prohibit them from attending school. As a result, it is my obligation as a teacher to ensure that my pupils overcome whatever obstacles prevent them from attending school. For example, I noted that one of my students was doing well in school, but after a few weeks, he stopped coming to our lessons, and I discovered that his grades and performance were slipping. I was aware that my pupils would continue to struggle in school as a result of their constant absences. So, I assisted this kid by counseling him and offering him sound advice in order to urge him to start attending school. I was relieved since the kid was forthright in explaining why she was missing from class. In that case, I was involved in inspiring and offering good counsel to this kid in order for him to begin recognizing the value of school and attending courses. As a result, this student was able to maintain high attendance, and her performance began to improve. 

The second essential thing I learned about this indication is how to prevent pupils from having poor self-esteem and being isolated from their friends. After using the indicator, I discovered that kids who are absent the most have low self-esteem and isolation because they are too hesitant to interact and share information with their classmates and instructors. This difficulty is created by absence; thus, it is my responsibility as a teacher to ensure that my pupils attend school so that they may easily participate and mingle with me and other students during conversations. 

Reporting journal

 I have applied reporting during my internship and learnt allot of thing from it. I assisted some of the teachers in creating a new report for term 1 (2022) and was happy to learn good things from that experience. 

Firstly, I learnt that it was time consuming and stressful because creating a report is not very easy task. There are lots of important things to consider when creating a report so it is important to not miss out any of those things. 

Secondly, composing a report is an extremely intricate undertaking. Compiling a list of pupils' strengths and shortcomings is not the only task. In order for reporting excellent and bad outcomes to be effective, teachers must be sensitive, diplomatic, straightforward, and honest. To make sure that parents and pupils understand what is being said, every word must be carefully considered.

Literacy and Numeracy Journal

 During this time I was teaching a moral education lesson to my students. Literacy and numeracy were part of the lesson that I was doing at that time because, by the end of the lesson, students could define the meaning of literacy and numeracy, list down examples of literacy and numeracy, and explain why literacy and numeracy are important to understand for their choices in real life situations. 

I let the students work in pairs to define the meaning of literacy and numeracy, and then I gave them their task to think of literacy and numeracy are important when they go to the shops to buy things. The students came up with lots of ideas and they mentioned those in their given activities. for example, the first group mentioned that numeracy is important to understand because when they go to the store they calculate the money and cost of the things that they want to buy. The other groups mentioned that literacy is important to them when going to the store because they have to read the information and expiry dates of the things that they want to buy from the shop. Those students realized the importance of learning about literacy and numeracy is important to help them when dealing with different situations in their daily lives. 

I learned that teaching numeracy and literacy is important because numbers and readings come in everything that we do every day. The students learn the significance of numeracy when they do their own budgets, expenses, and calculations when dealing with money. Also, students learned that literacy is important because reading information, and writing come everyday when they want to know different things that they deal with.
