James J. Metcalf

I want to teach my students how–

to live this life on earth,

to face its struggles and its strife

and to improve their worth.

Not just the lesson in a book,

or how the rivers flow,

but to choose the proper path,

wherever they may go.

To understand eternal truth,

and know right from wrong,

and gather all the beauty of

a flower and a song,

For if I help the world to grow

in wisdom and grace,

then I feel that I have won

and I have filled my place.

And so I ask your guidance, God

that I may do my part,

for character and confidence

and happiness of heart.

Statement of Purpose

The intent of this portfolio is to provide and share experiences and ideas to those who will

undergo the same undertakings. Through the experiences written, some latest innovations

and strategies in teaching were shared. Their applicability will vary depending on whatever

and whenever it suits to the classroom situation. Some classroom problems were also

mentioned whether they are severe or not, they are somehow enriching experiences that

will guide and teach future mentors in performing teaching endeavors

This portfolio will serve as a tool for information sources.

Our Teaching Philosophy

To educate is to become a better educated. It is circular process that

improves with time; we believe the responsibility of educators is to provide students with

the necessary knowledge and skills to succeed in academic, business and personal arenas.

Our teaching philosophy is based on the belief that education is a solution to many social

problems. Education provides the tools to make informed decisions, synthesize ideas, and

critically evaluate relevant issues and to enjoy life. Therefore pursuing knowledge and

working to improve our skills as an educator are among our highest priorities.

As an educator, we will strive to encourage excellence in our students

and ourselves. Course material should be challenging, interactive and relevant to current

issues and events. Students learn and retain more information if the material is presented in

an environment that is interesting and interactive. For this reason, we believe that using a

variety of multimedia including video, slides, and the internet, is an effective way to

complement traditional course lectures remains the foundation of the educational

experience. We feel that we can encourage students to seek new knowledge and explore

their own ideas by an enthusiastic presentation of both what is. And what is not known

about subjects. When appropriate, the classroom setting should be expanded to include

experience in the field. What better way to make the necessary connections among

biological concepts than by observing how organisms interact with their environment?

In our interaction with students, we will strive always to be respectful,

especially when dealing with differing opinions that may arise as product of scientific

thinking. We want our student to learn to think critically, not merely to accept our ideas and

opinions; our drive to pursue higher education was due in part to several teachers who

inspired catalyst for other people to pursue their dreams.

THE TEACHER

AS A PERSON

Name of Fs Student: Aspero, Castillo, Sanchez, Villalobos, and Villaruel

Course:Bachelor Of Secondary Education Year & Section: IV-B

Resource Teacher: Lorena B. Palang

Cooperating School: Old Sagay Elementary School

Our Target

At the end of this episode, we will gain competence in clarifying our values

about teaching, and in articulating and demonstrating one’s personal philosophy of teaching

Teacher Interview Form

Teacher’s Name: Mrs. Lorena B. Palang

Subject Taught: English – Specialization in Reading Level: Grade

III

1. a. My goal/s for my pupils/students is/are:

I believe each and every child has the potentials to bring something unique and special to

the world. I will help children to develop their potentials by believing in them as capable

individuals. I will assist children in discovering who they are, so they can express their own

opinion and nurture their own ideas. I have a vision of a world where people learn to respect,

accept and embrace the differences between us as the core of what makes life so

fascinating.

1. b. What I really want to teach to teach to my pupils/students is/are:

Every classroom presents a unique community of learners that varies not only inabilities but

also in learning styles. My role as a teacher is to give children the tools with which to

cultivate their own gardens of knowledge. To accomplish this goal, I will teach each child so

that all learners will be capable and successful. I will present curriculum that involves the

interests of the children and make learning relevant to life. I will incorporate themes,

integrated units and projects, group work, individual work, sports and cultural-oriented and

hands-on learning in order to make children active learners.

Lastly, I will tie learning into the world community to help children become caring and active

members of the society.

1. c. I will teach my pupils/students by:

Showing them all the beauty they possess inside, give them a sense of pride…

My classroom will be a caring, safe and equitable environment where each child can

blossom and grow. I will allow children to become responsible members of our classroom

community by using strategies such as class meetings, positive discipline, and democratic

principles. In showing children how to become responsible for themselves as well as to their

own learning, I am giving them the tools to become successful in life, to love and believe in

themselves.

Our Reflections

1. 1. Which views do you agree with? Disagree with? Expound.

We all agree to the statement of our critic teacher that “I will help children to develop their

potentials by believing in them as capable individuals”. Every student has hidden potentials

but the problem is that they are afraid of showing it due to lack of confidence. They need

reinforcement in order to be motivated. In order for them to be confident, we, as future

teachers must develop and enhance first our students to be competent, self-determined and

to have self-respect because these are the components in order to be component.

1. 2. This time, it’s your turn to answer the three sentences completion

items.

2. My goal/s for my pupils/students is/are:

Every teacher aims to the betterment of h their students in the different fields. Our goals for

our pupils are: to make our students be fully prepared for the upcoming future, to help

them realize that education is very significant in human life and to let them understand that

the best way for a successful career is through education..

1. b. What I really want to teach to my pupils/students is/are:

The value and significance of education for all, on how it can transform the life of every

individual from a mere student into a productive individual in the future.

1. c. I will teach my pupils/students by:

Giving them a concrete ideas for every lesson that we have in order for them to clearly

visualize and understand it. Moreover, we will teach them by the process of learning by

doing because this is more appropriate in the transferring of learning.

What Philosophy do you adhere to? Why?

It is the progressivism that we want to adhere to because we believe on the

progressivist’s point of view that the student’s world is the focus and starting point of

education. We are a firm believer of the statement “Students are the key participants of

education”. We will let our students construct new knowledge as they conduct experiment

or during activities and our role is to facilitate and guide students in order to make learning

active and democratic.

Additional Enjoyable Reflective Activities

1. a. If you were a school tool (ruler, pencil, paper, etc.), what would you

be? Why?

Drawing

Why? There are so many tools used by the students in the school like ruler, pencil, eraser, book, etc. Indeed, all of them plays a significant part in the students’ lives. But if I were a school tool and relate it to the kind of teacher I would want to be, I would choose a ruler, because I want to guide my students into the right direction. However, I want to straighten their lives so that it would not be put into waste. Obviously, just like a ruler I want to give my students a straight path towards a better future.

Drawing

Why? Table, chair, blackboard are only some of the furniture that can be found in school likewise door and window. But if I were a school furniture I would want to be a window, because I want to give my students something to look up especially when all the doors are closing on them. Moreover, I would always be open on them to give them light during the darkest hour of their lives.

By: CRISTINE MAE VILLALOBOS

Drawing

Why? I choose pencil because as a teacher, I must accept my mistakes if ever that I committed something that is really personal to my learners I can erase my faults then make something better for the improvement not only for myself but of course to my learners. I am full of arts in transferring learning to my students.

Drawing

Why? I chose door because being a teacher, I must be open-minded to every circumstances that will occur or appear in my profession. I should give different opportunities to my students so that biases will be avoided. I should accept any challenges and be determined in order to become an effective teacher.

By: GERALD VILLARUEL

Drawing Why? If I were a school tool, I will be a ruler because like a ruler, I will guide my students to become a productive individual later on

by teaching them the concepts they ought to learn and I will provide them the knowledge so that they would be in the right path, doing the right actions and that they will succeed eventually.

Drawing

Why? If I were a school tool, I would be a chair. Just like a chair which supports a person who sits on it, I will be the supporting person to my students, encouraging them to learn more and value education so as for them to acquire knowledge which is a very important factor for their success and like a chair, I will make them comfortable through showing respect to each of them, their weaknesses and strengths and their inclinations to learning.

By: JASMIN SIFEL H. SANCHEZ

Drawing Why? If I were a school tool, I would be a class record because I will serve as an evidence when parents of my students have complaints

with regards to the grades of their children. I will also serve as a reflection of my students’ achievements or even failures because a class record is a tool that contains the students’ results in assessment and participation.

Drawing

Why? If I were a school tool, I would be a door because I want to be open-minded kind of teacher for my students. I will always be open to all the ideas, suggestions and even reactions of my students so that none of them will develop fear or hesitations in approaching me. I will accept any type of students because I am a firm believer of a statement that the youth is the hope of our motherland by Dr. Jose P. Rizal.

Tue-Fri – regular classes

The effectiveness of the safety measure is useful and important in developing the students’ nationalism, skills, retention and attitude

Our recommendation is to establish routines that are required by the authorities and it must be done accordingly

Our Analysis

In what area of classroom management was the teacher most effective? Which of

the supportive measures were effective? Why?

The discretion of the teacher to have a separate time schedule and vicinity or place

where the students will have to perform their activities which requires demonstration of

skills was the teacher’s most effective classroom management because in this way, the

students’ full potential to provide the best performances will be catered, thus the teacher is

giving justice to her students as to their understanding and learning of the lesson.

In what area of classroom management was the teacher least effective? Which

supportive measures were not effective? Why?

As we have learned from our visitation in the school where we conducted our interview, the

teacher’s classroom management is with least effectiveness is in the physical environment

of the classroom itself because the whole class is composed of 55 pupils and that made the

classroom very crowded.

However, this cannot be attributed solely to the teacher’s management since it is already

out the teacher’s hands but to the proper authorities who must had provided the school

premise with enough classroom and resources to cater the needs of the students.

Suggest more effective ways for your answer in number 2.

The teacher establishes separate activities in a separate setting, like group

activities are being performed in other classroom apart from the lecture settings, with the

proper allocation of time to finish the required task or activity. A certain activity is given 40

minutes for the students to comply the said activity.

My Reflections (Cristine Mae Villalobos)

1. 1. Describe at least 3-5 characteristics of a teacher who can establish a

well-managed classroom.

One of the characteristics of a teacher who can establish a well-managed classroom is a

teacher with good governance. If a teacher has a good governance with her students as her

people and with the classroom as her territory surely she could be able to establish a well-

managed classroom. Because as a teacher she has the power to rule her students and with

her characteristic as a good governance students will follow her most especially if she tell

them to maintain classroom cleanliness and organization so as for them to have a conducive

learning environment.

1. 2. What characteristics do you have at present that can make you an

effective classroom manager? Elaborate how these characteristics can help

you.

The characteristics that I have at present that can make me an effective classroom manager

is being disciplined and time conscious person. These characteristics of mine can help me in

becoming an effective classroom manager because if you know how to discipline yourself

you will become a good disciplinarian to your students and to your classroom. If you are a

time conscious person you can come to school ahead of time and prepare the things that

you will need in your class especially if you will going to conduct an activity so that time

would not be wasted. Moreover, you can also come on time to check and instruct or help

your students in making the classroom well-cleaned and well-organized.

1. 3. What characteristics do you have at present that can hamper you from

becoming an effective classroom manager? How can you overcome these

characteristics?

The characteristic that I have at present that can hamper me in becoming an effective

classroom manager is that I easily get nervous especially when things went wrong. I can

overcome this characteristic by being confident in everything that I will do and if things went

wrong most especially if things didn’t turned out to what I expect it to be I will just remind

myself to stay calm and find an appropriate solution that will solve the problem.

My Reflections (Jay Ar B. Aspero)



A disciplinarian kind of teacher can establish a well-managed classroom by setting a rules

and regulations with the approval of all students. Rules and regulations that are observable

and it must be followed by the students as well as the teacher. A disciplinarian without

harming the students physically, emotionally and psychologically; moreover, a disciplinarian

that is patient and has a friendly approach so as to avoid fear and hesitation from the

students.



you.

I am a well-disciplined and responsible kind of a person. These two characteristics that I

have are enough to be an effective classroom manager. A well-disciplined kind of a person

that has a friendly approach, with this, students will not be hesitant to approach me and

they will develop a sense of respect that results to the students to be responsible in

following the rules and regulations. A responsible kind of a person will have a sense of

commitment to my work and to my students through this I will be obliged to establish a well-

managed classroom.



characteristics?

Being impatient can hamper me from becoming an effective classroom manager, but not

all the time I am impatient because it depends upon the situation. It is hard for me to

overcome it until now but I will seek the help of my friends and loved ones for some advices

as to how I could change my impatient characteristic.

My Reflections(Jasmin Sifel H. Sanchez)



A teacher who is committed enough to his or her profession can have a well-managed

classroom since he will not settle on just a poor performance of his students. He will not stop

seeking ways and strategies just to make sure that his students arrived at the

understanding of every lesson presented. If a teacher could not manage well of his

classroom, then there will be no longer learning to take place on the part of his students.

Also, a teacher who is sensitive to the needs of his every student and a teacher who has a

strong determination who will never be swayed in giving his policies in the classroom in

order to establish order that will eventually result to the learning of the students.



you.

I think my being determined to arrive at a good performance if not the best, will make me

an effective classroom manager. This will help me in giving instructions and delivering my

lessons to my students and that I am making sure that they arrive at the best learning they

must have.



characteristics?

I think my being impatient at times. When it comes to accomplishing a task, especially from

the students or any individual that I expected to perform his duties, I am very particular its

fulfillment unless they would say that they cannot fulfill it on time. I get irritated easily when

the task I have expected and that they promised to, was not accomplished because for me,

if you cannot do it after all, then don’t make any promises.

This I think should be changed. I should be more patient to my students and will have to

learn to be considerate to them because not at all times that a person is positively inclined

to something, therefore, I will give them enough time but in the same manner, I will set a

specific time frame for them to pass the specific activity for them not take their work for

granted

My Reflections (CARLO D. CASTILLO)



A. a. Neat and tidy – a teacher who possesses this characteristic can establish

a well-managed classroom, since that being clean and neat in yourself can also

be applied in the classroom by organizing an everyday chores that the students

should do. Thus, this reflects to what kind of a teacher the classroom has based

on its outlook.

B. b. Disciplined – if a teacher is well-disciplined, he or she can impact it into

the students to behave properly and act as a well-mannered one. Problems

regarding disorganization of students will be lessen.

C. c. Organized – a teacher should know on how to organize his or her lessons

to avoid misleading of concepts with regards to the lesson to be discussed.

D. d. Able to create time management – a teacher should know when to start

or to end his or her lessons so that a time allowed for the lesson to be

discussed will be followed without getting left behind the other concepts.

E. 2. What characteristics do you have at present that can make you

an effective classroom manager? Elaborate how these characteristics

can help you.

Being punctual, organized, and able to utilize time management.

1. a. Being punctual of a teacher to come to school can be contagious to the

students, hence if this happens, a teacher can start his or her lessons early. For me

being punctual to attend my class will help me to study my lessons before the class

start.

2. b. I am organized in a way that I can handle my chores on which one comes first

and which one comes last. By this it will help me to finish things systematically.

3. c. Able to utilize time management having a time management table will help

me to utilize and do my task in a given time without hassle.

4. 3. What characteristics do you have at present that can hamper you

from becoming an effective classroom manager? How can you overcome

these characteristics?

Being dependent and sometimes lazy.

1. a. At times that I don’t know something I usually ask someone who can help me

without relying on my capabilities.

2. b. When some things went wrong always, I tend to become lazy to find for

solutions in which I become dependent to others.

My Reflections (Gerald Villaruel)



For me, a teacher who established a well- managed classroom is a teacher who is

determined, patient, dedicated, relate herself or himself to his or her students and give

consideration to his or her students. Through this characteristics, I strongly believe that

there will be a well- managed classroom.



you.

The characteristics I have that I think that help me to become an effective classroom

manager are; having humor in our discussion. Secondly, I am giving considerations when it

comes to my students’ reasons why sometimes they are absent. I am asking their reasons

whether it is valid or not at least they open up.



characteristics?

The characteristic that I think could really hamper me from becoming an effective classroom

manager is being impatient. I am easily irritated and easy to angry. Maybe I can overcome

this negative attitude of mine through controlling my emotions and put into my mind that I

must be good and to be an example to everybody.

THE TEACHER

AND THE COMMUNITY



Resource Teacher: Mr. Ronnie G. Java

Cooperating School:Escalante National High School

Our Target

At the end of this episode, we will gain competence in identifying possible linkages

between the school and the communities, particularly those that will help attain curricular

goals.

Community Tour Observation Report

Name of the School Observed: Escalante National High School

School Address: Brgy. Alimango, Escalante City, Negros Occidental

Date of Visit: August 23, 2013

Locality of the School

The school is located along the national road heading to the RORO Port linking the province of Negros to the province/island of Cebu.

Its neighboring community composes of residential houses which are converted into boarding houses that cater to the needs of the students coming from far places like Molocaboc Island.

There was the historical landmark of the “The Fist”, the 3-fist statue/structure which symbolizes and in honor for the death of the persons who were killed in the ill-fated Escalante Massacre on September 20, 1985, who died in defending for their rights and for the freedom for themselves, their families and for the whole nation.

Some government institutions can be found in the community like the City Health Office, City Library, Post Office, Shopping Center, Senior Citizens Pavillon, Public Market, City Hall, Police Headquarters, City Hospital and Coliseum. NGO’s are the PYAP and other youth organizations. The thrusts of this NGO’s is the assistance during the city’s activities like taking part of their designation on different tasks in those activities like tree planting and coastal clean-up.

Issues/Concerns/Problems of the Community

The main issue of the community that bothers the most is the

problem on dengue fever which affects 30 individuals in the barangay. Traffic condition was okay and there was never a problem with it as well as the pollution. Peace and order was also good, though there was some cases of verbal conflicts among the residents but was settled thereafter. The problem on juvenile delinquency was of minor cases only like the thief of some household animals, but were also properly addressed and fined. The security for children was catered through the deployment of barangay tanods in assisting the schools during the end ofclasses, assisting the students in crossing the streets safely to home.

The political climate was safe and there was no violence because there was loyalty on the same party.

Water supply was provided by the barangay free of charge and the residents will have to shoulder only for the maintenance. Electricity service is the same with the neighboring cities and municipalities in the province which is provided by the VRESCO.

Community Resources

Parks – may aid in the lesson of the subject utilized through community field trips.

City library – can be used for research and for other reference tasks of any

Individual especially the students.

City museum – for research and other reference purposes. Provide insights and

knowledge on the city’s history, products, culture and the early

inhabitants from the earlier times.

City health office – provide relevant seminars for the awareness of the community

for the different health

issues, integrated/collaborated in the

school.

– provide instructional resources like posters and printed hand-outs that aid in health care instruction.

City coliseum – can be utilized whenever activities and events of the school need to

be performed/held in outdoor areas.

Community/Assistance/Service Given by the School

The school provides assistance to the community through the participation in different activities namely: tree planting activities, mangrove planting, coastal clean-up, and fiesta celebrations. The different tasks were assigned to the different teachers with their students participating like the Senior Scouts and the CAT officers of the school with the supervision of an in-charged teacher.

The teacher served as a resource person in some activities or programs as guest speaker on certain issues, with the designation or order from the principal.

During the town celebrations, the school’s Drum and Bugle Corps is participating so as the different programs/class in school, specifically the SPA Class which is assigned to take care of the literary and musical activities and programs.

The teacher served as role models, portraying good conduct to the students and to the community as a whole.

The school took participation in community projects like the construction of the canopy to serve the neighboring community most especially the students.

Our Analysis

Suggest new what ways by which the school can creatively use the resources of

the community.

We suggest to have field trips because the city has a museum that may provide

insights and knowledge on the city’s history, products, culture and the early inhabitants

from the earlier times. We also suggest to utilize the city coliseum as much as possible for

the activities and events where the school is required to perform. It is good for the students

to have an exposure to their community resources because there is always learning when

they have actually experienced it.

How can the school address the issue/concerns and problems of the community?

The problems and concerns and issues of the community can be addressed by the

school through its participation in the different activities. The school can hold symposiums in

helping the community to be aware on how to lessen their vulnerability on dengue fever.

The school can provide tips on how to maintain cleanliness at home and lessens the cases of

dengue through conducting meetings to the PTA/PTCA at schools.

What possible linkages can the community and the school have?

The possible linkages that the community and the school have are

brigadaeskwela, tree planting, coastal clean-up and mangrove planting. During fiesta

celebrations, there is parade and there are drummers coming from the school and according

to the OIC, teachers are in charged for the sports activity. CAT officers and SSC officers are

also involved in the activity, and SPA class are in charged for the musical and literary

activities. There is also DepEd Night during fiesta.

Our Reflections

How did you feel while you were going around the community? What things did

you learn that you might have taken for granted before?

As we go around the community, we feel a sense of belongingness even though

we were new and strangers on that place. It is because the people there were very

approachable and we received a very warm welcome from them. The things that we learned

that we might have taken for granted before was the fact that there were people who gave

their lives for the sake of their lands, of course as a student living in urban areas, we did not

fully realize about human passions can do such things as giving their own lives.

As a future teacher, what do you think will be your role in the community?

As a future teacher, we think we will be an adviser as well as a surrogate parents

to our students as well as to the community through making them aware of the things they

ought to do and ought not to do. Giving them advices even on simple activity or task and

providing them choices on what to employ in terms of materials so as to produce better if

not the best results of their required task.

How will you encourage more community participation among teachers and

students?

We will encourage more community participation among teachers and students by

joining the activities conducted by the community most especially during fiesta

celebrations, so as to enhance the participation and values and attitudes of the students in

which the teacher must also serve as a guide and a trainer before and during the said

activities. Moreover, joining on the activities conducted by the community will show that

students’ abilities are not only limited in indoors but it can be also useful during outdoors.

v Based on what the teachers said, to be a global teacher, one should have the knowledge

on the different approaches and methods in delivering the lesson to the students. So as to

facilitate their understanding and learning. This knowledge on the methods sand

approaches of teaching must go hand in hand with the teacher’s knowledge on how to

In these moderntimes,we cannot deny the great influence of modern technologies in our

lives, much so with the way of our living, both the young and adults alike. With the advent of

these modern technologies, we were able to do our tasks more easily. Thisalsomade a very

great impct to education; because of these trends in teaching, we also allow ourselves to

grow. We are no longer stagnant to the traditional methods.

A Global Citizen, a Global Teacher

(Article)

By FretziePadolinaAlcantara

Modern times paved us the way for different technological advances that prevent to be very

helpful in our everyday living. Different technological advances created a new trend to

satisfy our thirst for modernism and high-tech living. With these new trends, our educational

system is also coinciding with this making learning more advanced through the use of

modern devices.

The most common (and I think the most important invention in the 20th century) is the

computer. During those times computers are only used for computing and storing data, but

right now having a computer and knowing how to use it is just as necessary as having to put

a food on the plate for your dinner! Computers proved to very helpful and useful for

education that integration has been the topic during seminars and workshops and how can

we utilize it to help our students face the world surrounded by modem technology.

It is true that technology has its plus and minuses. Others may also say that because of

technological advances, we are all teaching our children to become lazy and just depend on

the computer. Yet let us accept the fact that time has changed, our times are evolving and

we could no longer apply what we have learned in the previous years to the generation of

today. We should go with the flow. We just have to know our limitations in using these

modern technologies. These are made to make our life easier and comfortable. We are

human beings ad we are given the mind so we can manipulate things accordingly.

Moreover, because of these trends in teaching, we also allow ourselves to grow. We are no

longer stagnant to the traditional methods. We are now more open to new ideas that would

not just increase our students learning but also ourselves. As we open ourselves to new fad,

we can no longer feel outcast… we are part of the modern world and we are now all ready to

face a more challenging role and that is to become the teacher of tomorrow’s youth. Why

would we keep ourselves inside a nutshell when we can explore the world? The world is at

our advantage, the world is waiting for us.

Furthermore being inclined with these technological advances, we must also know our

responsibilities. It is not every time that we have to let our students tinker the computer and

we would just sit back and relaxes knowing that that the World Wide Web or www can

provide the much needed information. We could not just do that. We are not teaching them

anymore. We are feeding them with information that is not anymore filtered if they teach

moral or ethical values. Modern devices such as computers are only a tool for learning. It is

not the one who will teach us. It is still far more different than having a teacher in front who

could explain the information being fed to these young minds. We just have to remember

that the best computer in the world in our minds. We, the teachers, don’t just fed

information nor just teach these children the basics of addition and subtraction or the proper

use of grammar, we also touch their lives, we become a part of them, a part of their lives

that could not just be erases or deleted by just a click away. We remain in their hearts

forever.

Given these facts, we are now more than ready to call ourselves not just modern teachers

but GLOBAL TEACHERS. Because global teachers do not just use modern ways of teaching or

utilize modern devices for improved learning, but also has a heart… a heart that tenderly

cares for every individual and a hand that gently holds every learner’s mind to be a great

contribution to the world. A student who is not just a product of modern world but can also

be considered a GLOBAL CITIZEN OF THE WORLD.

And now a GLOBAL TEACHER, creating GLOBAL CITIZENS OF THE WORLD, what else could

we ask for more?

Our Reflection

1. Write a song about your insights as to the knowledge, skills and values that make up a

global teacher. Create your own tune.

TITLE: Filipino: A Globally Competitive Teacher

Its message:

The clip art portrays a teacher, a Filipino one, as it clearly showed from

what the illustration of the country’s map, who wherever may be placed or whatever

situation he/she will face, may it would be in his own land or even abroad, to foreign

countries and all around the globe, can be an effective educator, giving his students not

only the basic knowledge and skills but important values and compassion as well. This he

does and attains with the aid of modern technologies and advancements which enable him

to become an effective and a globally competitive teacher.

Our reflection:

In this modern era, one should be well-equipped with the knowledge and

skills in the modern technologies. Much more with being a teacher if a teacher has a good

understanding of how these advanced technologies work, he/she can apply it to teaching,

resulting to a better understanding of the students and providing them insights and

opportunities to improve their lives through the use and application of these technologies.

A deeper understanding of the rights, duties and responsibilities f a professional teacher is

of great help when we are on the field. Those rights, duties and responsibilities will serve as

our basis and guidelines so that we will be knowledgeable and we will not be deceived by

other officials when it comes to our rights. We can apply our knowledge about the rights,

duties and responsibilities of a professional teacher when there are situations related to the

rights, duties ands responsibilities.

Our reflection

How do you feel about the policies and guidelines concerning teachers? How will

you respond to them in the future?

With regards to the policies and guidelines concerning teachers, we feel that it is really

necessary that we must be committed, affectionate, and serious in teaching students. We

will respond to them in the future by becoming a good person or citizen today so that we

will become a good teacher someday. We should also abide by those policies and guidelines

in order for us to become a good teacher and a good citizen as well.

What insights/realizations did you have about the demands of being a

professional teacher? How will you meet these challenging demands in the

future?

The insights or realization that we have is that, as a teacher we should always take

responsibility to sustain professional growth and maintain professionalism of our behavior at

all times. We should be also accountable for the efficient and effective learning of our

students. We will meet these challenging demands in the future by associating and learning

from positive mentor, joining a professional organization and having an extensive body of

knowledge about teaching and being a good decision maker to be able to increase student

learning.

What are your values and strengths that can help you become a true

professional?

My love for whatever job that comes my way is my greatest value and strength. For it is not

only important that you are knowledgeable in a given job, it is also important that you love

what you are doing.
