teaching learning episodes that focus on the application of educational theories learned
in content and pedagogy courses will be made.

Observations on learners’ behavior, motivation, teachers’ strategies, classroom

management and assessment in learning among others shall be given emphasis.

Task 2
When you graduate in your baccalaureate degree, it is expected that you have
achieved all the indicators in the BTI; to a point that you are already
demonstrating/applying them in real life. Moreover, you are expected to continue your
professional development through relevant personal and professional engagements. To
help you visualize your personal and professional goals, you are going to create your
Academic Roadmap, which will present or chart your dreams/goals in life and the road
towards success. Present opportunities and possible constraints or barriers to your
journey as well as possible counter measures to overcome them.

Task 3
Your Teaching Credo will be your Teaching Philosophy that will guide you in your
journey as a teacher. Revisit your personal philosophy of teaching and find out whether
nothing has changed in your perspectives. Examine the changes in your beliefs. What
factors brought the transformation? Draw inspiration from the various philosophies of
education which you have learned in your Professional Education subjects then, you
may either formulate your own or you may rewrite you teaching philosophy
incorporating the changes in your perspective.

End Note:
You are advised to prepare these outputs well in electronic copy as these will
form part of your FS 1 eportfolio which you will prepare before the end of this semester.
After preparing these outputs, please turn them in in our G classroom.
Happy writing! Always remember CREATIVITY WORKS!
