Abstract

The following report will examine all of the elements of a The Founders Secondary School. I will discuss the environment of the school, the student’s participation, and the teacher’s overall effectiveness. I will then talk about how much the experience had an impact on my aspiration to teach.

Observations

Classroom atmosphere:

Students and the teacher love each other, they make jokes, talk about themselves, and care about each other; so they were happy to be together. However, some of the students come late as they were uncomfortable with the classes’ starting at 07.00 am. This environment made us remember our last year of high school when we were studying hard for my exam. They are studying exam oriented, so if we were students in this class we would feel stressed. To add this, if we were the teacher, we would feel extensively responsible to make our students get high grades in the proficiency exam.

Student-teacher interaction:

Students ask whatever comes to their mind without any hesitation, and the teacher responds them passionately, so there is an effective interaction between the teacher and students. Furthermore, if the teacher is ill, and students ask about her/his illness, which means that the students care about and love their teacher.

Medium of instruction:

Students learn English mostly by reading and writing, but they sometimes do listening and speaking activities. They often write paragraphs, and the teacher gives them feedback to make them correct their faults. Furthermore; they read a lot as homework, and in the class. Medium of instruction is English.

Types of materials and activities used in the class:

 They use a Text Book, and make reading activities, and lots of vocabulary. Moreover, the teacher gives notes for senior classes with filled exercise. In languages classes like English and Urdu, they make listening activities, answer the related questions, and learn the vocabularies in it. I find these activities useful in terms of students’ improving their reading, writing, and listening skills, however along with these activities, I would make speaking activities, too.

Staff Behavior and Mutual Understanding:

            As the whole staff is very cooperative with each other. They have mutual understanding and helps each other in any issue regarding teaching. Subject Specialists help other teachers in lesson planning and other practical activities. Teachers’ behavior was professional and friendly. All staff members have mutual understanding that ensures a good environment.  

Lesson Planning:

            Lesson planning is one of the most important factor in teaching to complete the syllabus in time. In this school, last day of the month goes long day. As teachers stay at the school after their classes end for lesson planning for the next month. Teachers communicate with each other for better lesson plan. 

Monthly Staff Meeting:

            Monthly staff meeting also held on the last day of the month. Issues regarding students, syllabus (if any) and any other are discussed with the administration. Administration and teaching staff gives there suggestions and solutions. It helps to run the institute smoothly by removing such problems.

Anecdotes (واقعÛ):

One of the things that could have been better was that the teacher limited learning in one of the classes. One of the students asked the difference of two things, and she said this is beyond your level; you don’t need to know that. She could explain first, and then if the student doesn’t understand, she could try to teach by simplifying it. Unlike this, something positive happened, too. For instance, even if they are beginners, they were struggling to pass the exam and asking questions to their teacher and to us even in the breaks. Moreover, she was making students focused and creating excitement by counting down while students were doing exercises. Furthermore, she was giving examples about students’ daily lives to draw students’ attention.
