Teaching Experience - Week 2

                                                            

                The 2^nd week of Teaching Experience felt so fast, I got so many experiences more than the first week. I taught 2 classes then I gave a posttest in one class only because of the schedule which changed unexpectedly. The schedule that has been given has changed. Actually my schedule for teaching was Monday at the 3^rd and the 4^th period for X.2, then the 5^th and the 6^th for X.1. However, on Monday morning when I just arrived in teacher’s room, I saw that my scheduled has changed, the 7^th and 8^th period for X.2, then 9^th and 10^th period for X.1. Actually that was not a problem for me, but suddenly I asked to come to X.5 to fill the class. There was miscommunication between the guard teacher (guru piket) and my master teacher, I should only teach for X.1 and X.2. Finally I come to X.5 then I explained the miscommunication that happened. At that time, I was ready to teach X.5, but something that made me shock was about the material.

          In SMAN 61 Jakarta, each class has 2 teachers, for mathematics in 10^th grade the teachers are Miss Rima (my master teacher) and Miss Syifa, but they teach in different material. I should teach Inequalities for continuing Miss Rima’s lesson, but Miss Syifa’ lesson was about Logarithm. So, when I had to replace Miss Syifa, I should teach Logarithm. I shocked because I had not any preparation for Logarithm, but finally I taught them a bit about the proven of the Logarithm’s Properties. What about my partner? He did come late. After he come, I asked him to replace me, then finally Miss Rima come and apologized to us because of the schedule, actually she also did not know about the changing schedule after that she handled the class and my partner and I prepared the lesson for teaching in the 7^th and 8^th period.

The first week of Teaching Experience has been passed. So many new experiences that I got in SMAN 61 Jakarta, I had a great master teacher, observed some classrooms that had different atmosphere, replaced the teacher who absent, and many more. SMAN 61 Jakarta is the best Senior High School in East Jakarta because of its achievements. The last National Final Exams, SMAN 61 Jakarta occupied the top ten for DKI Jakarta Province, and the top nine was occupied by other Senior High Schools outside of East Jakarta. This school became RSBI in 2007, so they have used Bilingual class for four years. Mathematics is one of the subjects that use English, all of the worksheets and presentation files is made using English, the book is bilingual, and also the teacher, even some the teachers use English in teaching at the most. SMAN 61 Jakarta applies “two teachers for one subject” in each grade, so actually I had two master teachers, but because of something then I only had one mater teacher.
