MY TEACHING PRACTICE PLAN
In this post I´m going to show my reflections about my teaching practice but also I´m going to improve using Haaga-Helia advises.

MY TEACHING PRACTICE

·         Teaching  is a complex activity that involves  the teacher with the students in a dynamic interaction and it is held in an  institution. For me teaching has to be an open activity based on dialogue, with mutual respect and interest in both teaching and learning participants, respectively.

·         About my role I think that according to the learning behavior, sometimes I´m the leader, but sometimes I´m just learning from them

·         I have a group made up of 25 students 6 men and 19 women most of them are age between 17 to 20  there are only three older ladies they are 25, 34, and 40. All of them come from poor neighbourhoods.

·         The course is Hospitality Management, it last 18 months and I´m teaching them english and is a basic course and the  learning outcomes are written and oral texts sometimes are difficult and no all the time.In this section of the course we are going to work according to the Common European Framework for Refernce of languages which is the guideline used in colombia to describe the achivements of the English learners. The course last 60 hours I´ve been working with the group in classes of 3 hours I just worked with the them the third class and I´m going to describe the next 6.

·         I think that I´m  a mixture of models in my teaching practice; sometimes I use behaviorism, and sometimes I use constructivism but in my case I think that student has to do more of the work because that way he or she gets involved in the learning process.

      the goal of the interaction between a teacher and students is the learning achieved by students. In reality, however, a teacher can only influence learning indirectly through the studying of students (Kansanen 1999, 85). This is because learning is the outcome of studying, not teaching, as explained above

What is your teaching philosophy?
As a vocational teacher I think that I have to give my students all I can and the easiest way to learn it. Nowdays students need to learn how to solve real life problems and to do that we have to honest with what we do.
What is your role as a teacher?
I think that according to the learning behavior, sometimes I´m the leader, but sometimes I´m just learning from them but I try to keep everything going so I´m the leader in the classroom


In this activity I´m just introducting myself and making them to introduce themselves the group

Here´s a drill activity with the same group just to practice what they have learned, here it shows how to learn from others information and a new language

LEARNING ABOUT MYSELF, OTHERS, MY WORK ENVIROMENT, AND MY HOBBIES

“The Master said, “A true teacher is one who, keeping the past alive, is also able to understand the present.”(Analects 2.11)
― Confucius

Here´s my Teaching Development Plan, first of all, I´d like to thanks the people who help me to be a teacher, and there are many, even Haaga-Helia´s teachers, they were just great. But who really inspire me for being a teacher are the students.

My role as a teacher has been changing during the 23 years of experience now and working on the reflection that I did after these process of training with Haaga-Helia, I´m the leader of the classroom when I start the class but once I stated the rules and the outcomes I start supporting my students, so an important part of the time I´m a counselor.

I have groups of students of 25 to 35 for each group they come from poor neighborhoods and most of them don´t know much English even that they have been in English classes. So normally as a teacher a start doing a diagnostic to know their English level. Now the group I have for my TDP is a group made up of 27 students 13 women and 14 men. Their ages are between 18 to 25 and a couple of them know some English.

In this TDP I expect from my students the following outcomes:

·         They must be able to introduce themselves and give some extra information about their home towns, family and jobs.(4) hours

·         They are able to talk and write about their work environment. (8) hours 

·         They are able talk and write about their hobbies and leisure activities. (8) hours
