PROCEDURES OF TEACHING Before starting teaching practice, the first step I take is to prepare a well-structured lesson plan. Afterwards, I consulted with my supervisor, Mr. Quach Kha Quang, to ensure that the plan was in line with the expected learning standards.

TEACHING METHODS OF THE TEACHER THAT YOU OBSERVED The SEA Teacher program in Vietnam has several schedules, one of which is to conduct observations at the Future School. Two observations have been made, each with a different class. The first observation, namely group observation, took place on October 4 2024 in class 5Y guided by Ms. Yen Trinh. The learning process begins with an examination of student assignments, where students who have not completed the assignment will be asked the reason and reprimanded expressly to emphasize the importance of responsibility. Meanwhile, on October 7 2024, individual observations were carried out in class 10S with the subject of Physics taught by Ms. Thanh Tuyen. Just like before, teachers check students' assignments first before moving on to the learning materials until the end of the session. This method shows consistency in teaching, where checking assignments is the first step before learning takes place.    ...
