Welcome to Jeremiah's Great Adventure!

This blog is a near-daily account of my experiences in the country of the Philippines. To me this is significant because I have never stepped foot outside the USA in my life before. So I have decided to provide my family and close friends a small glimpse of what I do here and what there is to offer here.

So please enjoy my journey through my words and pics , as I get them. And please feel free to comment and ask me questions.

Where the Teacher is taught...

Well today was my first day in teaching training...finally! It was a great learning experience..I'm beginning to understand the how and whys of module creation and session plan making. A bit different than I'm used to but at least now I know why its done this way and HOW to do it myself! ....and so I must get one session written in proper module format , as well as create the handout that comes with it. All prepared and ready as if its going to be printed and sent to the students...except this will be added to my portfolio and evaluated at the end of the course (this Friday) .

Yeah its a one week course..chopped down from 2 weeks. Not a biggie and I actually enjoy creating handouts and mas I found out , modules aren't that much different..mostly just cut and pasting into correct format....

Now if I had to make up ALL CONTENT, I'd be in serious trouble...but this isn't about re-creating what has been done a lot, it's about understanding HOW to present and teach the class in proper way as described by TESDA.

So far, so good!...now I need to get back to working on it!

Caio!
