1. Collaboration - learning is a collaborative process. Sometimes, we shy away with collaborative activities because we only see one student who is leading the group. However, it would violate the learning principle that learning is a collaborative process.

2. Clear instruction - Giving instructions that are clear... We thought that we were able to instruct them well. We need to simplify it so that all kinds of our learners will be able to grasp our instruction. Less is more.

3. Giving activities that are multi-sensory and that could cater multiple-intelligence (Differentiated instruction)

-the more senses are involved, the better the learning would be. Compared to when students are only passively listening.

Mental health matters but it's often overlooked. We need to focus on ourselves, give time to recover and gain strength to become more effective teachers.

I consider the session for today a meaningful one. I have realized the importance of teaching, learning, and the impact of someone in our lives. I have learned that teaching and learning can be considered a race. But, this time, it’s about who will cross the finish line, not who will cross it first. We must never forget that we are not measured in the beginning. It does not matter how weak, undetermined, or unmotivated you are initially. What’s important is that you have finished the race. You have reached your goal.

Additionally, mental health is an essential factor that we should have and adopt in teaching. I remember the story of a turtle who participated in a race. Everyone expected that the turtle would lose because he was weak and slow, and they couldn’t even imagine if he would reach the finish line. He surprisingly finished the race, and everyone was amazed by it. Little did they know that he was deaf. He is not able to hear. It means that even if we continually receive many negativities or distractions in our life, we should not be affected by them and should always keep on going. Lastly, I have remembered a bible verse that I can relate to our session for today. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, which gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see so that everyone will praise your heavenly father. All the learnings I had for today’s session align with my teaching philosophy. My most excellent philosophy is to influence others so they can realize how strong, talented, and worthy they are. All of us will finish and reach the finish line or the goals we always had.

In order for us to be effective teachers,we must consider our mental health. As the saying goes " we cannot give what we don't have. We cannot give our best if we are not in good condition, especially with our mental health. And how can we promote positive mental health?

When our lives are in balanced, then we can give to our students our best, our all , and that will realized their full potential.

The mental health wellness of teachers provides learner's a positive learning and development experience. This, focusing on the true essence of learner-centered principles, provides adequate designs in emphasizing the needs, capabilities, perspectives, talents and backgrounds of individual learners. These principles will guide teachers to be effective in relating to the needs of their students.

Taking the time to delve into the topic of mental health and stress management reaffirmed my belief that education goes beyond just academics. Our students' well-being is pivotal to their overall growth and success. As I strive to instill excellence and equity, it's clear that addressing their emotional and mental states is integral. By equipping them with the tools to understand and manage their emotions, I'm helping them develop crucial life skills that will benefit them not only in their education but also in their personal and professional lives.

Acknowledging that the team building activity was conducted exclusively for teachers prompts me to reflect on its alignment with my teaching philosophy. While my philosophy emphasizes students' connections and community building, this activity appears to focus inwardly on the teaching staff. While it's essential for teachers to collaborate effectively, I also believe that modeling collaborative behaviors for students is crucial. It might be worthwhile to consider involving students in future team-building initiatives, allowing them to witness firsthand the value of cooperative learning and community building.

In conclusion, while both the discussions on mental health and stress management and the team building activity hold relevance to my teaching philosophy, I'm prompted to reflect further on the execution of the latter. To truly cultivate a sense of community and equity among students, it might be worth exploring ways to incorporate student-led team building activities, encouraging them to take ownership of their connections and interactions. This adjustment could better align with my overarching goals for my learners, ensuring that they not only receive quality education but also actively contribute to the community they are part of.

As a teacher, reflecting on mental health in schools involves recognizing the impact of a student's mental well-being on their overall learning experience. It's important to create a classroom environment that promotes emotional safety, open communication, and understanding. Being attentive to signs of distress, offering support, and referring students to appropriate resources can make a significant difference. Additionally, integrating social-emotional learning into the curriculum can help students develop skills to manage their emotions and build resilience. Remember, addressing mental health in schools is a collective effort involving educators, students, parents, and administrators.
