REFLECTION / JOUNAL ABOUT NUMERACY AND
LITERACY SKILL OF OUR STUDENTS
In every undertaking, there must be something that you must learn and
reflect on.
The LAC session was an excellent refresher for us teachers, who have been
in the service for a few years. I am very grateful we had this kind of LAC Session
since it taught us how to continually prepare and support our learners in literacy
and numeracy.
First, it made me realize how vital literacy and numeracy are to children,
and imparting knowledge to my college on making learning easy and effective will
make education reach its maximum potential.
I also noticed that kids – most especially because we experienced a few
months of stagnation when pandemic hit and another few months of modular
sessions during the transition phase - showed significant decline in their numeracy
and literacy skills. My colleagues also confirm that their students also have the
same case.
Second, we need this for our professional growth. As a teacher, we must
equip ourselves based on the learning needs of our students.
Lastly, we all know that literacy and numeracy form the foundations
students need for deep learning across the curriculum and developing skills
essential to everyday life. Hence, the need to effectively teach these is vital.
