Baao Central School

Highlights of accomplishment of the school: An Interview
Hello! I'm Mrs. Lydia B. Ballesteros, Grade-VI pupil’s adviser of Baao Central School. I’ve been teaching for almost 30 years. I have a lot of experiences here at Baao Central School and I’ve seen a lot of innovations of this school from the time that I was diploid by the DepEd here and until now.
With regards to the accomplishments of the school in terms of physical facilities, we have ICT room beside Principals office. It has Computers with printers, touchscreen white board, projector and tables and chairs for conducive learning about ICT, because we do believe that such facilities will deepen and widen the knowledge of the pupils which is the most important in teaching learning process. We also have Television set at the Principals office to give us the new trends and issues inside and outside of academic community. Each classroom is well ventilated because it will help the pupils to better understand the discussion during class hours. We also have Library to equip the learnings of the pupils and at the same time the place for their researches. In general, we have enough in terms of physical facilities to enable the students arouse their eagerness in educative process.
The academic activities of the each school serve as the basis if they are really providing the appropriate knowledge to the pupils. In line with this, the Baao Central School is very active with regards toss academic activities. There are pupils from grades 1 to 6 that are competing specifically for quiz bee, spelling, oration, hand painting, dish gardening and others and we won that will lead us to compete also in district, division, and regional level of competition. Indeed, the academic activities and participation of Baao Central School as per required by the DepEd is already a culture and it will continue to prove that the Baao Central School is one of the competitive school in Bicol Region.

A Teacher's Prayer
Help me to be a fine teacher, to keep peace in the classroom, peace between my students and myself, to be kind and gentle to each and every one of my students.
Help me to be merciful to my students, to balance mercy and discipline in the right measure for each student, to give genuine praise as much as possible, to give constructive criticism in a manner that is patable to my students.
Help me remain conscientious enough to keep my lessons always interesting, to recognize what motivates each of my students, to accept my student's limitations and not hold it against them.
Help me not to judge my students too harshly, to be fair to all, to be a good role model, but most of all Lord, help me to show your love to all of my students.
Amen.
Introduction
“Teaching is the only profession that creates all other profession”. This saying touches our hearts that is why we chose to become one of the teachers of the 21st century.
Practice teaching is of paramount importance in the vocational training of student teachers. It is this immersion into the real world of school that prepares the student in making the transition from trainee to professional. The process of practice teaching allow the students to experience the real situation of teaching learning process, to be aware to the trends and issues in education and most especially to handle and educate pupils/students. Teachers are an extremely important facet of any society for a multitude of reasons. Teachers are the people who educate the youth of society who in turn become the leaders of the next generation of people. Teachers are the people who are teaching children and imparting knowledge upon them in their most impressionable years, what these kids learn from their teachers at a young age will most likely stay with them in some facet for the rest of their lives. So, teachers certainly have a significant mark on the development of young children and even older children alike, as they are teaching them and helping them develop their knowledge so that they can go on in life and be responsible and productive members of society.
Indeed, the practice teaching of student teachers serves as an avenue to apply their knowledge gained from almost four year of study in their respective school and also to learn new things in the real classroom setting in preparation for their future profession.
