In each classroom, two teachers can be found, one adviser and one assistant teacher. Both of them helps each other to create a conducive learning environment. They share works and fill each other’s flaws or shortcomings during the teaching-learning process.

The adviser is the one in-charge of teaching the class, she provides activities and oversees the class. On the other hand, the assistant teacher is the one that looks after the class, while the classes is on-going she goes around and help learners in need of help especially the students who needs special intervention.

Both supports each other’s back also, for example are incidents like a parent complaining to the adviser about some things, the assistant teacher shares the advisers’ sorrow and helps make sure that the next time it won’t happen again. While for the assistant teacher, when she wasn’t able to manage one of the students’ behavior she asks for the adviser takes over will help settle the child.

Today, I felt another level of happiness because of the word thank you, though it is common that we hear and say it everyday, I realized that sometimes it can give a surge of feeling. Ms. Merry the assistant teacher said, “Thank you very much, you’ve given me such a new strategy that I can use, a very good idea” with two thumbs up. She even congratulated the student just like a real mother who is proud of child for achieving something and that sight made my heart flutter because it gave off a warm and happy light despite the condition of the room at the moment wherein it’s a little bit messy. Nothing can make me happier that day because I was able to impart something out of the observation I made last week.
