INTRODUCTION:

This portfolio comprises a quarters worth of work of Practice Teaching in

Paranaque National High School. This portfolio should be read as an overview of the
importance of Practice Teaching in Teaching Career. Also, it should be seen as an evolving
set of documents. As the world changed, so too must the pedagogy that surrounds it.
This portfolio is founded upon two essential ideas. The first is that the primary
purpose of teaching is to enhance students' learning, thinking and development. Teaching
and learning are interdependent endeavors, and to me it makes no sense to examine one
without examining the other. Therefore, I have tried to make this a "learning-centered"
portfolio. The second indication is that teaching career is an ideal context in which to
explore the relationships between teaching and learning. Teaching field represents coherent
entities in which teachers integrate content and teaching practices to accomplish the
specific aims within a particular time period
In addition to that, this portfolio coherent views my teaching and learning
experiences throughout the entire quarter and semesters. It also mirrors my goals intended
to accomplish with my students, how I used various teaching strategies and approaches to
address these aims and the results of the experience in terms of students' learning, thinking
and development.
Likewise, as this semester progressed, my understanding of the utility of strategies
and approaches in the classroom grew with my understandings of the educational theories
that surround them. I developed this portfolio to help me understand, document, assess and
enhance teaching and learning in preparation in my teaching career.
Lastly, this portfolio provides a way to document the substance and complexity of
teaching as a teaching career, and can be used to structure self-assessment as well as peerreview. This portfolio helps me to document and assess students' learning and thinking, and
development.
