About Me: My Aeta Community Experience

          It has been awhile since I posted something. I have been "busy" these days...hehehe...Anyway, I would like to go away from my usual posts about education topics. Let me share to you more about me, my personal experiences and glimpses of my life (As if someone's interested...who cares?...lol). This is my first "personal experience" post, and I hope that you will learn a bit from this....

This is me???

My classmates...

  My experience with an Aeta community for at least half a day has given me a lot of insights not only as a SPED student or as an educator but as a person as well.

                I personally admired how simple their lives are, how they easily find joy on the things that we usually take for granted. I really felt how happy they were, most especially the children, on the things we had brought to them. This made me realize that they may have less in life, but this doesn’t mean that they are pitiful.

                As an educator, I was a bit alarmed by the fact that most of children, if not all, are lagged in terms of getting the right education. One of them for instance is already 14 years old yet is still in Grade 1. Compared to regular school children, they may be considered delayed, educationally and mentally. I also thought that maybe this was due to various factors, poverty as one of the major reasons.

I just grabbed this photo from one of my classmates...hehehe...maam che and sir richard guest appearance in my famous blog...wahahahahaha....

Also, I reflected that to be a SPED educator, I learned that I can come across with families with diverse backgrounds, including difference in socioeconomic status, ethnicity, culture etc. Therefore, I must be more sensitive, prepared, aware, and all the attributes needed in order for me to develop a healthy and collaborative relationship with these families and in order to employ the best instruction possible to my students with special needs.

(Honestly, this was my short reflection paper in one of my courses in SPED. Maam Lizz, you know who you are. I sent my reflection to your email but I haven't received any reply from you. I hope that you have received it. And if not, please contact me through fb...ok????)

Special Education

Hello...
To share a little bit of me, I am currently taking my masters in special education. I decided to take this major because I personally believe that learning is most needed for those children with special needs. I hate the stigma being given to them by the public that they are useless and worthless because of their disability.

I strongly uphold that there is a hundred percent hope in every child. Every child can be successful and productive given ample guidance and instruction.

But wait...why am I dramatically discussing this?Hehehe...Actually this is just my introduction for a new series of posts that I will be discussing coming these days. I will be talking about special education, most especially about the different exceptionalities. I will also discuss educational adaptation that can be given among these individuals. Remember that as teachers, aware or unaware, we can never avoid encountering these students, so I hope my posts will be of good use to you.

World Teachers Day!!! Happy Teachers Day!!!

        This day is for one of the greatest people on earth------Teachers!!! To all my teachers, who molded me and even to those who have given me heartaches...I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I know I can never surpass you...you know why? Because I will always be your student...no matter what...
       Today is the World Teachers Day. Just to make this post "informative", let me share to you a little bit of history of this occasion. The idea of celebrating "Teachers Day" started in India, in reverence to its great teacher, Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan. On the other hand, World Teachers Day celebrated every October 5, started since1994, signifying the important role of teachers especially in molding and developing humankind. This is supported by UNESCO and Education International, and has been recognized and celebrated by over 100 countires worldwide.

          Let us not forget our teachers. They are just there, in our old classrooms waiting for us to visit them. They may not be perfect, but let us always remember how they have painstakingly and patiently taught us, saving us from ignorance and learnlessness.
