ANALYZE

1. From the PPSTs, the Southeast Asia Teachers Competency Standards and the TEDx
videos that you viewed, what competencies does a great teacher possess?
The PPSTs, the Southeast Asia Teachers Competency Standards and the TEDx videos
consists of different essential competencies:
(1) Knowing and understanding what to teach, (2) helping students learn, (3) engaging
the community, and (4) becoming a better teacher every day. Additionally, the essential
competencies consist of 12 general competencies, 31 enabling competencies, and 136
success descriptors. The framework serves as a helpful guide in improving the
performance of teachers; the competencies are expected to be interpreted on local context
and specific needs.

2. Are these competencies limited only to professional competencies?

No, even other teacher who do not have license can be a great teacher too and can use
this competency. I think that if you work hard to be great, then you can be because of
your desire and dedication.

3. For a teacher to be great, is it enough to possess the professional competencies to plan a

lesson, execute a lesson plan, manage a class, assess learning, compute and report
grades? Explain your answer
For me no, because according the TEDx video, the characteristic that will complete to the
teacher is that the teacher should love teaching, but aside from that, yes that is enough to
possess the professional competencies.

4. For a teacher to be great, which are more important - personal qualities or professional
competencies?
If possible both, but for me it is the professional competencies, cause I think that in
professional competencies it also train the teacher on how to be a good teacher and what
personal qualities should they possess when they are in the field of teaching. The
greatness of a teacher is not measured by how well he/she is able to plan a lesson plan
and execute it, manage a class, assess learning, or compute and report grades. These are
actually just manifestations that a teacher is doing his/her job based on his/her job
description. The greatness of a teacher is measured by his/her outputs-the students. If the
students are gaining significant learnings from their teacher, we can say that a teacher is
great.

5. Who are the teachers that we remember most?

From my teachers during my junior high school days, they are very strict and I think they
possess the qualities and professional competencies that every teacher should’ve. They
are very focus on the competency followed by the personal qualities of the teacher.

REFLECT

 Which personal traits do I possess? Not possess? Where do I need improvement in?

The personal traits that I possessed are that I am very focus on what is my target what I wanted
to achieve to the given timeline, very hardworking and the personal traits that I don’t have is
being assertive. The personal trait that I needed to work on is my confidence and patience.

 Which professional competencies am I strongly capable of demonstrating?

I think m leadership. I can demonstrate it to others and I do believe that, that is the skill that I
think I am very good at.

 In which competencies do I need to develop more?

Competencies like working in a team that requires excellent communication skills and problem
solving activities, managing performance and coaching and mentoring students.

 Who are the teachers that we remember most?

 Field Study 2

My teacher in Senior high school, I think he possessed all the competencies that I think I am
capable of and the characteristics that I think I don’t have and I needed to develop. He is one of
my influencer to pursue this field and give my best if needed.

Write Action Research Prompts

1. OBSERVE In assisting my Resource Teacher, I observed that personal traits such as

being generous, compassionate and unselfish and professional competencies like Creative
problem solving, Managing performance and delegation were least/ not displayed and as
a result, it affect the performance of the students.

2. REFLECT The lack of these personal traits and professional competencies (mentioned
In 1) may be caused poor performance of the students because of the teacher and think, it
will possibly affect the growth and development of the students. Every teacher is
supposed to be a paragon of virtue to every single student and not otherwise.

3. PLAN would like to address this problem (mentioned in no 2) by conducting an action

research on the qualities and competencies that the teacher should have. There is a Paper
Discussion Session from American Educational Research Association (AERA) that
provides a Tool for Improving Teacher Quality and Classroom Practice. I think this will
very helpful to address this problem.

Work on my Artifacts

Attach your reflections here.

Being a teacher is not an easy job, you should always consider the feelings, capability,
health and skills of your students. As part of this subject, I should keep in my mind that there is a
framework that the teacher should follow and the qualities and competencies that the teacher
should have. Building relationship with students is by far the most important thing a teacher can
do. Without a solid foundation and relationships built on trust and respect, no quality learning
will happen (Timothy Hilton in Education Week Teacher).
