REFLECT
While you were observing the learners, did you recall your own experience? Says
when you were their age? What similarities or differences do you have with the
learners you observe?
 I see the young me when I observed the learners. Just like a normal preschooler I
was also energetic and gaily when in class. I always like being the focus of attention.
However, I prefer to play alone most of the time and never want to play with others.
As I excel in class, I start to enjoy talking to others, sharing my favorites and telling
them most of my imaginations. In elementary school, I didn't have many friends who
could cheer me up when I was being harassed or bullied. I was a cry baby that time. I
couldn't take being let down. Even though I was a steady achiever, my social skills
aren’t good enough. I was unapproachable. During high school, I often had mood
swings just like any other teens. But with the support of my parents, professors and
of the close friends I had, I was able to manage my emotions properly especially
when being mad.
Think of a teacher you cannot forget for positive or negative reasons. How did
she/he help or not help you with your needs (physical, emotional, social and
cognitive)? How did it affect you?
 As I've described above, I just had few friends. As well this is what bothers my Grade
6 teacher, because I am not the friendly type. She frequently advises me to start
making friends and treating people nicely. I am not mean, but I was really
unapproachable that time. My teacher told my brother about it and he really helped
me to at least feel comfortable with others. And because of her, I started to meet
new friends and to feel comfortable with others.

 Engaging to diverse learners is a difficult job. Teachers must comprehend that all
these differences are factors that influence learner’s performance. A teacher must be
able to response with their needs no matter how diverse they are. Teachers need to
modify every strategy or approaches they use when dealing with different group of
learners. However, the most crucial thing is for the teacher to respect these
differences and encourage other students to embrace their individuality.
