For my sixth teacher practice I went to Al Darari Kindergarten which is a Government school
that is located in Sharjah, Al Darari Area. The duration for this practice is 6 weeks from
September 30 up to November 7. The school size is moderate with teacher and student ratio of
282/15. Facilities that are available to us is the Library, Canteen, Office, Resources room, and a
recently new science innovation room. The school also consists of 6 KG1 and 6 KG2
classrooms, with total of 12 classroom teachers and 2 English teachers. I got assigned in Ms.
Ebtihal and Ms. Hamda’s KG 2/3 classroom, which consists of 22 students, including 1 student
During my first week at school, I went around to collect information such as number of teachers
and classrooms, student/teacher ratio which is 282/15, and the principal, classroom teacher, and
MST phone numbers and emails. I sat with my MST, Ms. Hamda and filled her in about the
purpose of my practicum this semester including my research topic, proposed change for my
Managing innovation and change in Education course and PDP goals and how I can achieve
them. I also informed her that due to missing one week of TP already, we have to start teaching
as soon as possible. I found out that on Sundays, the classroom teacher Ms. Ebtihal would
accompany the student to the Library and have them choose a book that they’d like to read and
return it by Tuesday. If a student or two is able to read that book without anyone’s help will be
given the option to go on stage and read it during morning assembly. By Wednesday I taught my
first lesson, when I was confident enough to at least remember the student’s names.
