Why do we need to have an Orientation?

ORIENTATION 

I was assigned to observe in HSPE, but before they allow us to observe in their school they gave us a quick orientation on the rules and regulations that we should follow but first why we should have an orientation before we proceed in observing? It is because through orientation we can determine the do's and dont's inside the school. The first thing that they raised to us is the taking of pictures of their students, the school strictly didn't allow us to take pictures because of confidentiality. 

Our task is not only to sit in the corner and observe but also we should help the teacher in preparing for the lesson or activity like cutting or assisting the child in doing his activity. Another, we can't also hold or use the phone during the actual observation, we should concentrate on our goal, and that is to gain knowledge like strategies, techniques, and method used by the teacher. We can also acquire knowledge form the students because through observing them we can notice how they behave in the class. Those that I have mentioned, they will help us in understanding teaching, we can apply it in the near future when we are already in the field of teaching.
