Reflection on the Week
The first week of Teaching Practice Phase 2 was enriching and engaging. I was able to introduce important economic concepts while ensuring student participation through interactive methods such as charts, activity cards, and word games. Attending the Teen Club awareness session and assisting with the NAS examination provided me with valuable exposure to school-wide activities beyond the classroom.
