Teaching Plan

1.1 Curriculum

During our actual teaching practice in a Thai classroom, we were not formally introduced to the specific curriculum they follow. Instead, we were asked about our major fields of study and the subjects we were able to teach. We were provided with materials such as textbooks to use as references for our lessons. Additionally, we were informed that if we required any further instructional materials, we could submit a list of what we needed, and the school would supply them.

Throughout my practice teaching, I had the opportunity to innovate and discover effective teaching pedagogies, especially since we were handling students with diverse learning needs. We primarily followed the topics outlined in the textbooks, and I prepared PowerPoint presentations to enhance my lessons in art, music, and occupation. This experience allowed me to develop adaptable teaching strategies while making the lessons more engaging and accessible for the students.

1.2 Teaching Plan Related to Your Major

Teaching in a Thai elementary classroom was a meaningful experience that taught me so much about patience, preparation, and creativity. One thing I learned quickly was how valuable a detailed lesson plan is, especially when working with young learners.

At first, I noticed that many of the students were quite shy and not very interactive during lessons. Instead of seeing this as a problem, I saw it as a chance to be more creative with my teaching. Having a clear lesson plan helped me feel more confident and prepared to try different activities that could slowly encourage the students to participate.

This experience showed me that a good lesson plan is not just about what to teach but also about how to connect with the students in ways that work for them. It gave me the freedom to adjust my approaches and discover what helped my students feel more engaged and confident to try.

In the end, teaching in a Thai classroom reminded me that with patience, a positive attitude, and a well-prepared plan, we can create an environment where every child feels welcome to learn at their own pace.
