High School  Age of learners observed :  13-16	Very observant. Could speak well and talks with sense.	The teacher should act accordingly for they will be the role model of the students in the development of right attitudes and values.

MY REFLECTION 

1. I recalled my experience when i was at their age i am fond of playing, not focusing to the teachers discussion, talking with my seatmates and got scolded sometimes for not paying attention. 

2. The teacher I could not forget is Mam Garcia because she teaches us time management which I use because of early class in my college and also she is generous, kind even though she is strict. And she is one of my inspiration of being a teacher someday. 

3. My favorite theory is social learning wherein we observed how the child interacts to the people around them. This can guide me as a future teacher is by letting known that each children has her/his own approach to given.

4. Teaching is both vocation and mission. I learn that there are many factors to affect or contribute to the development of a child.
