      Understandings
        Teaching interns are placed in the real world of work called
    Cooperating Schools. They are placed under the tutelage of the expert teachers in the
school community.

placed in their school for teaching internship.
        The role of the Cooperating Principal is to oversee the effective implementation of the
teaching internship program. The orientation with the Cooperating Principal is a must for
him/her to discuss the school’s policies and procedures to be followed to foster harmonious
relationship with the wider school community.

 K                   As I choose the career of being a teacher, one thing that comes to mind
 N                   is, “What is the best way to teach? A teacher can be able not just to
                     teach lessons but also to influence them to become good people. After

 K                   students if needed, especially in demonstrating an activity. I have to
                     equip myself with skills such as singing, dancing, drawing, drama, etc.

 A                   with different academic habits that may make their learning easier than
                     usual. A teacher must teach the habit of reading in such a way that

 I                   when they are happy or sad. Or a habit of enhancing the talents that they

    o Given the chance to become a principal someday, what qualities/attributes must you
        possess?
If I have a chance to become a principal someday, my attributes and qualities that I have possess is
that I exhibit leadership. This is a characteristic that every principal must possess. The principal is the
instructional leader of their building. A good leader has to take responsibility for the successes and the
failures of their school. A good leader puts the needs of others in front of their own. A good leader is
always looking to improve their school and then figures out how to make those improvements no
matter how difficult it might be. Leadership defines how successful any school is. A school without a
leader will likely fail, and a principal who is not a leader will find themselves without a job quickly.
