• excited; we’re going back to normal (AKA face-to-face); first time CA onsite

DURING

• My patience was tested; I didn't realize that I can overcome the challenges of that SY

• There were adjustments on our part where we can level up or do more than what was at hand; self-doubt was present; was it a teacher-factor? Why am

• Marami ka pa palang magagawa

• Discovered the effects of not having a social interaction/play time in the students' behaviors (effect of the zoomie/roomie set-up)

• big adjustments; would not have survived without the support of the team

• Maraming challenges along the way during the year; you thought you were prepared

• Students with special needs/cases also made it even more challenging to relate to and handling the students/classes

• Most of the parents also come off too strong

• Conflicts between parents also get in the way with the way we handle and coordinate the cases/situations in the classroom

• we were able to cope with the changes and challenges because of teamwork.

• adjustments in classroom management pose a challenge

• we have to be consistent with the classroom management routines

  AFTER

• Most of us rated ourselves from 8 to 10 both as CA's and assissts.

• Consistency between CA's and assists is very helpful to set routines.

Everyone accepted the role of a CA/Assist however, there were several questions in our heads on how we could handle this role. On the other hand, we value the mantra of “asking questions” to our fellow faculty members to make sure we can do everything. There were several issues during the first year of school after the pandemic, as there were adjustments made for both the teachers and students, but we are excited. 

DURING

The role of a CA/A goes hand-in-hand, and it is a partnership towards managing the class. Most of us know that this is our first time handling an all-boy class. Moreover, we need to be strict in implementing the routines. For adjustments, there are a lot, but it is a journey.

AFTER

7, It is difficult at first, but we can manage it. One of our realizations is that it is hard to design a classroom and as a CA/Assist we should be strategic in making decision for the class. Lastly, we really need to be consistent in implementing the classroom routine. 

• Emotionally prepared myself
