benefit the self, community, country and world
13. Pursue Continuing Professional Education (CPE) and deepen personal
development to enrich the profession and make it useful to the church and
society
14. Display in-depth knowledge of various mathematical con-cepts and procedures
and are capable of synthesizing it across mathematics disciplines
15. Articulate mathematical thoughts and ideas effectively and confidently as applied
to other curricular areas in different levels
16. Exhibit wide-range of knowledge of core concepts and ide-as in mathematics
discipline so they be guided to synthesize various content significant to the
learner so they can teach creatively confidently
17. Exhibit proficiency in designing and constructing flexible and effective
assessment forms in mathematics utilized to be responsive to students’ needs
and developmental levels
18. Display skills and abilities in crafting routine and non-routine problems with
different levels of complexity using technolo-gy and innovative methods so they
can be efficient problem solvers
19. Apply innovative and time-tested methods for effective de-livery of mathematics
instruction
20. Engage collaboratively in search of novel mathematical knowledge so they can
be guided to synthesize and evalu-ate contents for wider use
