My Reflection by https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1 What are your realizations after attending the sessions? Are the learnings aligned to your teaching philosophy? Why or why not? en-us 2021-05-16 03:02:55 UTC 2023-09-12 02:32:34 UTC hello@padlet.com Reflection YumaElcano https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662277284 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.]]> 2023-08-15 08:58:05 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662277284 realizations https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662304344 1. there is no forseeable divorce between zumba/dancing and DepEd
2. there's a potential growth area in the field of mental health workers. there's a demand that the supply does not match. it's a possible career diversion.
3. conflicting instructions can induce momentary brain freeze as it tries to reconcile conflicting instructions and find a resolution. the brain is unable to react during this processing time. 
4. the implication is that poor student performance due to ambiguous instructions is possible. teachers should take care to minimize this factor when evaluating performance 

are the learnings aligned ...
yes because they are consistent with current knowledge in the behavioral sciences]]> 2023-08-15 09:56:47 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662304344 https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662305789 Reflecting on today's session,  I've come to realize the profound significance of prioritizing one's well-being. These revelations resonate deeply with my teaching philosophy, which centers around fostering a nurturing and empathetic educational experience. The insights about identifying signs of stress, promoting self-care, building a strong support network, and offering accessible resources strongly mirror my own belief that a teacher's mental health profoundly impacts their capacity to ignite students' curiosity and growth. ]]> 2023-08-15 10:00:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662305789 One cannot pour from an empty cup. https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662340821 1. It is a must to take breaks. It is a must that we take care of ourselves including our mental health because we cannot give our best to others if are not at our best also. 

2. One thing I have also realized that it is okay to learn to say no and set boundaries if it costs our mental well-being. 

3. Be kind because we don't know what people are going through.

4. It is not a shame to ask for help.

5. Take care of everyone's mental health. Help each other.

This issue merits our consideration, empathy, and participation. We can contribute to a world where everyone's mental well-being is respected and prioritized by comprehending the complexity of mental health, encouraging open conversations, and cultivating a culture of support.]]> 2023-08-15 12:22:33 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662371163 Reflection https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662372090 Teachers must prioritize their mental health since it directly affects their capacity to deliver quality education. Stress and burnout may result from the profession's demands as well as the duties of caring for and educating students. By putting mental health first, educators are better able to foster a good learning environment, and provide emotional support. 

At the same time it's important to balance teachers mental health with 21st century learning environments. Students are better prepared in the future by incorporating technology, collaborative learning, critical thinking, creativity, adaptabilitya and communication. ]]> 2023-08-15 12:24:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662372090 https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662372359 Mental health awareness is an important issue for all of us teachers, which often the defense for our learners. We should recognize the impact that our learner's mental health has on learning and achievement, and realize that there's a great deal that can be done to help with mental health issues. Our speakers remind us some important lessons about mental health. Resounding those lessons may help us remember to be proactive about caring for our psychological well-being. It served as a brilliant reminder that our environment plays a significant role in our mental health. When mental well-being thrives, my quality of life may improve and can give room for greater participation in community building and may result to quality life. 

A learning environment is an all-encompassing term where our learners learn. Which learn in different ways and a productive learning environment aims to create an environment that enhances their abilities to learn. As teacher positive learning environment truly understanding and supporting the needs of learners and colleagues.  We must also create a productive learning environment to practice their skills and expand on their understanding of the lessons. For a classroom to be safe, it should be under control. We need to implement procedures/policies that promote physical, social, and emotional security.

It is okay if you cannot accomplish a certain task but make sure to always do your best. And also, always maintain a positive attitude in dealing with our daily life and do not entertain negativity. We must also spend time with our family, friend. Taking care of ourself physically helps improve our mental health.]]> 2023-08-15 12:28:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662374735 Learning can happen in a wide variety of ways. As an educator, it is important to practice self care, it is just right to take care of ourselves in order for us to perform well and do the best for our learners, to enrich them with knowledge and skills and nurture them with love and respect. To understand learner's needs, use differentiated instructions to suit learning style of learners. https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662386205 2023-08-15 12:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662386205 Reflection ni Sir Kristoffer 😀 https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662388388 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.]]> 2023-08-15 12:48:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662388388 https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662457788 From all the learnings in today's session, I realized that our mental health has a direct impact on our ability to take in new information, understand new concepts and master new skills. 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.]]> 2023-08-15 14:15:13 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662457788 My Reflection https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662479951 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? We can promote positive mental health if we can manage or balance the differents aspects of our lives. When our lives are in balanced, then we can give to our students our best, our all , and that will realized their full potential.]]> 2023-08-15 14:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662479951 My Reflection https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662491254 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.

Mental health awareness is an important initiative to improve understanding of mental health conditions among learners and increase access to healthcare for those who need it.]]> 2023-08-15 22:11:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662797673 REVELC https://padlet.com/mitchellenerivo/xvcdvw7pun3uu8i1/wish/2662805855 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.
