Portfolio Entry:

MRS. AMALIA G. RODRIGUEZ

I have been observing Mrs.

Rodriguez since I was in 2 nd year college
having my FS2 to my FS6 observation. I
have seen so much of her; she is a
dedicated, passionate and an amazing
teacher. She practices fairness to her
students and throughout my observation I
can feel that she is helping us in our
observation by giving brief explanation on
her classes. She recognizes the differences and needs of her students.
She teaches food technology and mostly handicraft to grade 7 and 8 students of
Isabela National High School. She is friendly to her students but she has also the
authority of her class despite of being soft. She does not allow student to control her,
she does not allow being provoked, and instead, she turns the table and make a joke
out of it. Mrs. Rodriguez is also innovative, in her age, he also tries new things to teach
and she does not stick on the traditional way of teaching. She learn different things
thru online, like watching tutorials on YouTube. “I do not stick myself teaching the
same stuffs to my student, because how can we grow if we always do the same thing”,
she said in her interview. She is Reliable, I see her every time helping other teachers
in a said event. She also has the intelligence which she mastered her subjects and teach
well her students.

My Reflections/ Insights

A. How do I use my personal qualities to become a good teacher? Write in at

least two (2) paragraphs.

Being a teacher, you must utilize every good quality that you have and you
must be well aware of your strength and weakness. Always remember that as a
teacher, you should not show any weaknesses to your students because you are their
role model, everything you show to them seems right, and sometimes they imitate it.
To teach is to touch lives, so as a teacher I will use my personal qualities in helping
my students to motivate and inspire them towards realizing and achieving their dreams
and be a better person.

I am passionate and dedicated person and this will help me in my chosen

profession in the future. I will be able to adjust on every situation and deal with my
students at all times. I am also a social person, I will be able to find the best ways to
communicate and build a strong bond with respect towards my students so they will
not be able to feel any fear when I am around and they would feel at ease during class
hours. I must be patient and creative in using varied methods and approaches to cater
my students’ differences and provide their needs.

B. How does the experienced teacher, utilize his/her qualities to make him/her a
good teacher? Write in at least two (2) paragraphs.

Being a teacher, which you are a role model to everyone, you have to be
modest and perfect for the eyes of others. An experienced teacher should know when
and how to utilize his/her qualities in every situation. A teacher should be able to
make a connection to his/her students to deeply understand them. Having the quality
of perseverance, patience, committed, honest, and passionate and having a deep
concern to their students will make a person a good teacher.

A teacher that can bring impact to his/her students is considered a great teacher.
Teachers should use their intelligence to analyze problem and make necessary
measurements. They should be compassionate and give their best shot in teaching

6|Page
Field Study 6: On Becoming The 21st Century Teacher

their students, have the confidence and conquer the fear that blocks them in doing
their best as a teacher. Moreover, a teacher should be professional, always.

My Learning Portfolio:

1. Picture of self and description of personal qualities in a Photo-essay and

Reflection.

God

We all possess different qualities. As for me, I am

self-reliant which can do things on my own. I only

seek help when I feel that I can’t do it alone and

also I am willing to give a helping hand to others

whenever they need it. I care and show empathy to others. I practice fairness but also

possesses equity. I am friendly to all and very communicative. I am compassionate to

everything that I do, I always make sure to do my best at everything, so that at the end

of the day I will not regret. I am also an optimistic person that always see the bright

side of everything, for me failure is not a bad thing unless you did not learn from it.

Through these qualities, I can manage to teach at my best with composure, and self-

confidence. I can create a classroom, which I have the authority but always listen to

students.

2. Photo-essay of the Experienced Teacher Personal Attributes or Characteristics

and Reflections.

Teachers are known to be the source of knowledge, however, it is not

enough for a teacher to be intelligent. Their IQ level is not the basis for them to
be judged as good teachers. They should also possess a high level of EQ, the
ability to empathize with others: identify, evaluate, control and express emotions,
ones own emotions; perceive, and assess others' emotions; use emotions to
facilitate thinking, understand emotional meanings. Teachers need to understand
their students to think of ways on how to improve and make his/her instruction
better. Mr. Rodel A. Valdez was my former mathematics teacher in elementary
who showed me that learning math is not boring and difficult. He execute his
lessons well, recognizes everyone’s ability, and gives equal opportunity to his
students in answering mathematical problems and questions. He has varied IMs
during class that makes us feel motivated in listening to his discussion. He made
math an easy one for us, he thinks of ways that makes his lesson easy to
understand like presenting colorful drawings of shapes, figures and numbers and
my favorite one, he loves to make a story of our lessons. He loves making jokes
whenever he feels that we are sleepy or getting bored on the discussion. He is
very committed to his career, he does not stop on learning things in fact he just
earned his Masteral Degree last year. His profound love and passion in teaching
made him to be a well-rounded teacher.

My FS Learning Task Overview
What is your philosophy about schools and education? Since you will become

MY REFLECTION/INSIGHTS

1. Have you discovered your dominant Philosophy of Education? How do you

feel after knowing it? Is your philosophy or firm belief of education reflected in
what you are doing as a future teacher?

My dominant philosophy of education is progressivism.

The practices that I do as students and future teacher that reflect my philosophy
are:

Teachers are the source of knowledge, however in progressivism’s perspective,

teachers’ draws out information from the learners. The child-centered approach
would be the best practice to reflect my philosophy of education. In child-centered
approach, teachers are only the facilitators and learners share their insights and
discusses the lesson rather than having the teacher feeding everything to the learners.
I believe that to have an effective education, we should not let our learners learn in
the exact same way, classes have diverse students so we should use a wide variety of
teaching techniques and approaches so we can cater their differences and provide
their needs. I must make it authentic and a meaningful learning. I will focus on
lessons that will help my learners solve problems on real-life situations.

2. In your observations, does an experienced teacher practice what they believe in

(philosophy of education) in actual learning? If yes, describe the
instance/episode. If no, what could be the reason?

Yes, the experienced teachers practices what they believe in Progressivism in

actual learning. Mrs. Rodriguez teaches handicraft so he lets her students experience
what they are learning. She believes in John Dewey who introduced that “learning is
by doing”. She let her students make mistakes and learn from it. She relates her lesson
in real life situations. During lecture, she does not spoon-feed her students, instead she
would ask several questions until they hit the bottom line. After every finishing a
lesson, she will ask her students to finish an activity or an output, this proves that Mrs.
Rodriguez practices an OBE education. All these techniques fall from the learner-
centered approach, which makes the teaching-learning process effective.

THE TEACHER AS
A PERSON IN
SOCIETY
3
Episode
My FS Learning Task Overview:
A teacher as a professional will always be found in a school setting. A
teacher’s official working place is a school. A school is an institution where learning
occurs under the guidance of a professional called the teacher.

How does a teacher operate or function in a school setting? How will a teacher
manage the learning environment in the school setting?

My Desired Learning Outcomes:

List the activities in the daily routine of the teacher
Identify the teacher’s role in creating a conducive learning environment in
the school

My Learning Essentials:

A regular school day is equivalent to 8 hours. It begins officially at 8:00 in

the morning and ends up at 5:00 in the afternoon. Adjustments are sometimes made,
but the time spent in school is 8 hour. Majority (of the eight hours) is spent guiding
the learners in their lessons, which is called the contact period. Usually, the teacher
is assigned to teach for 6 hours. The remaining time of 2 hours is spent for co-
curricular and extra-curricular activities. Normally, there are five school days per
week, Monday to Friday.
Usually, a teacher is assigned to one class, a class adviser. She is made to
teach one or more subject content areas depending on the population of the school
and the number of teachers. There are school where the teacher teaches all the
subjects for the whole class while in bigger schools they have subject area
specialists, who teach the same grade level or different grade levels. 28 | P a g e

PHYSICAL SETTING
Classroom Arrangement Well-arranged chairs facing the blackboard
and Smart TV. There is a long table in front
for laboratory in food technology. At the
center front of the classroom there is a 32”
flat screen TV, they use it to watch videos
related on the current lesson. The Teacher’s
desk is placed at the center back along with
the students’ bulletin board.
Bulletin Board Display It attracts the eyes, very colorful and
significant in learning. It contains
announcements such as events; upcoming
events and pictures of past events participated
by some of the students. Officers of
departments and organizations are also posted
on some of the bulletin boards in the corridor.
Some usual trivia and motivational quotes are
also pinned.
School Playground The school playground is conducive and
convenient to use. It is designed for the students
to stay during their vacant time and have their
relaxing time.
Luckily, the Adelan learning was built inside
the school. The learning center has its own

MY REFLECTION/ INSIGHTS

Based on the teacher’s program and your observations, answer the

following:

1. Would you consider teaching as a full-time job? Why? Why not?

Teacher never stops learning when teaching. Of course, teaching

is a full-time job. Teachers spent 12 hours in school giving lecture to
students and sometimes teachers are working at their houses making
paper works even at holidays. Teaching is not only the issue, teaching is
a life-long learning career, which means a teacher cannot just teach and
teach, she needs to learn and train to improve herself in order to produce
a globally competitive learner. Teaching is a matter of passion and
dedication.

2. Are the conditions in the classroom conducive to the welfare of both

the learners and teacher? How will you improve on it?
The classroom is conducive to both parties in the teaching learning
process. There designed for the betterment of the learners. The classroom is
bright, organized and well ventilated. However, the room lacks one of the most
important facility that the learners really need, I think they should add a
comfort room that will benefit both the learners and teacher.
3. After closely observing the teacher in the school setting, are you
motivated to continue on becoming a teacher? What in the teacher’s
practice inspire you to become a professional teacher?
In observing Mrs. Rodriguez for 3 years I felt like I have known her so
well, I like how she dealt with every kind of students that bothers or bullies
their classmates. When some students insults her, she remains calm and instead
giving a sermon right away she makes a joke out of it and turns the table
around and makes the class laugh every time, I say to myself I want to be like
her, on how she treats her students. For this reasons, I feel like teaching is a
hard career yet fun. The passion that I have for teaching that built up through

33 | P a g e
Field Study 6: On Becoming the 21st Century Teacher

observing Mrs. Rodriguez will be my best weapon in conquering the behaviors

of my students.

4. How can I improve the school setting that I have observed when I
become a teacher?
I. Classroom Arrangement
 Permanent seating arrangement
 Noisy students in front so that I can monitor them
 Bright Environment
 Proper Ventilation
 Trash cans should be placed outside
 Wider space for laboratory activities
 Teachers table should be at the back
 There is sufficient materials like LCD projector, flat
screen Smart TV
 Locker room at the back for students’ stuffs.
II. Bulletin Board Display
 Updated, visible and readable
 Cool colors are used
 Durable
 Could be seen along the wall
 Covered with plastic to avoid unnecessary damage
III. School Playground
 Convenient and conducive
 Wider space
 Has trees that covers the ground

THE TEACHER IN THE
COMMUNITY SETTING
Field study

Episode
My FS Learning Task Overview:
In the Philippines, the government has built schools in almost all
barangays, a town or city. This was done to provide access and equal
opportunity for every school child for quality education. At present, there are
more than half million public school teachers deployed in all these schools
throughout the country. The school and the teacher have a very crucial
responsibility in bringing about change and development in the community on
one hand and the community provides a lot learning opportunities on the other
hand.

Where else can one find can one find resources that are authentic and are
in the context of the school setting? The COMMUNITY, Who is one
significant community person who earns great respect of the community? The
TEACHER.

My Desired Learning Outcomes:

Identify community resources available for use by the teachers in the
schools through a Rapid Appraisal Survey.
Observe how teachers utilize community resources in teaching.
Collect information on how the teacher is looked upon in the
community.

My Learning Essentials:
Here are some key points in this episode:

39 | P a g e
Field Study 6: On Becoming the 21st Century Teacher

While the school is the official working place of a teacher, the

community is the wider learning environment.
Schools are often perceived to be the transformative agent of change;
hence the teachers are agents of change.
The teachers are looked upon as important agents of change.
Teacher’s roles and functions do not stop within the four walls of the
school, but extend beyond the community.
The community provides the authentic resources for teaching and
learning.

My Learning Map:

How will I achieve the desired learning outcomes? Join me, we go through the
steps we have to follow.
Step 1. Conduct a Rapid Survey of the Barangay (in groups)
1.1 Report to the Punong Barangay upon arrival in the community.
1.2. Peruse a community map to find out the area you are going to
cover.
1.3. Secure the available information from the records of the
Barangay Secretary.
1.4. Spend time to go around the bararngay for visual observation.
1.5. Interview some folks from whom you can secure or verify the
data.
Step 2. Make an Inventory or list of the existing community resources
based on the data Rapid Survey.
Step 3. Based on the inventory, match the available resources with the
subject areas taught in schools.
Step 4. Observe classes and identify what community resources are
utilized.
Step 5. Conduct a random survey to find out how the school teachers are
perceived in the community.

Activity 3
Interview of the School Teacher
Questions:
1. What school activities do you conduct that allow the participation of the
people in the barangay?

45 | P a g e
Field Study 6: On Becoming the 21st Century Teacher

There are many activities we conduct that allow participation of the

barangay, like the clean and green project, the brigada eskwela, and all our
programs either minor or major we allow the participation of the barangay
which citizen becomes our audience.
2. Are there community activities that you, as teacher join? Please name.
Do your learners join also these activities?

Yes, whenever there is a clean and green project in the barangay I

always make sure that I participate, where we plant trees and clean the
barangay. Some of my students especially those who are residing in the
barangay also joins the community activities.

3. What learning do your pupils/students gain from the participation?

They learn a lot, they learn how to cooperate with the barangay, that we
must love and maintain the cleanliness of our barangay to avoid sickness. They
also build a strong foundation with their barangays through socializing with the
people residing in the community during clean and green operation.
4. What does the community benefit from joining in your school activities?

Both the community and school are part of each other. Whenever there
are activities of the school, the community is invited to watch and take part on
it especially the barangay officials and parents. Through actively joining in the
school activities, the community will be able to create a strong relationship
among teachers. Teachers sometimes are actively participating in community
activities, they do the paper works, decorate stages, host a meeting, etc. Both
the community and the school needs to support each other in order to reach
success.
5. As per your observation, are the lessons that you taught in the school
transferred to the homes or the community?

Yes, the school has a great impact to the students. Students are taught to
incorporate what they have learned in their homes and community. Teachers do

46 | P a g e
Field Study 6: On Becoming the 21st Century Teacher

not only teach the content knowledge they also teach the students to be a better
person. Students are able to build friendship and respect to their neighbors.

Record your answer and make a narrative report of your observation.

Brigada Eskwela is one of the school activities that allow the

participation of the people in the barangay or community. This aims to take
the lead role in planning the activities geared on making schools
ecologically conscious, resilient, clean and conducive to learning. All
DepEd employees are encouraged to join the Brigada Eskwela activities by
offering their skills and by sharing their time or providing their assistance
in-kind, and by supporting public schools near their respective residences.
Interested employees are given two days to do volunteer work on official
time, provided that such work is approved by their heads of offices.

MY REFLECTION/INSIGHTS
1. How do you feel about the participation of the school, teacher and
learners in the celebration of the barrio fiesta?
Unfortunately, our barangay do not celebrate our fiesta. Everyone in the
community sees our fiesta as an ordinary day.
2. How does the view of the people in the community improve the
teacher’s status?
Well positive feedback always keeps you motivated to do something,
since the feedback of the interview is favorable to the teacher, teachers in
the school are always doing their best not just to educate the future of the
barangay but also helps and cooperates in the barangay activities. The
teachers do not take critiques as a negative feedback, they sees it as an
opportunity to improve themselves and do better. They are all willing to
listen to the people and openly accepts their ideas and opinions.
3. What realization that relates to your becoming a teacher, have you
gained from your concrete experiences and observations in the
community?
I realized that teacher carries a big responsibility not only to the school
and her students but also to the community. They carry both the task and
responsibility in creating the school and the community a better place for
the students. It is really a great thing for a teacher to connect to the
community, so that she will have an influenced to the parents as well as the
barangay officials. The people in the community does have a big
expectation and have a high respect to teachers especially in our barrio.
They treat teachers well and sees them as perfect individual. For this
reason, I think there is no room for a teacher in our barrio to make
mistakes. However, I am an optimistic person, mistakes can be good when
you learn your lesson from it and it will lead you to be better.

MY LEARNING PORTFOLIO
1. Picture of the landscape view of the community:

3. Narrative/essay about the resources of the community.

San Rafael is a barrio that is why it has limited resources. Since San Rafael is
part of San Antonio, known for being one of the top contributor of agricultural
crops in Ilagan. Almost all the families in our community has their own land
and has farming as their top source of living. When it comes to facilities, we
have schools that is conducive for the youth. Some high school students in
other barrios are enrolling there because the school has many fun activities and
it really has great and intelligent teachers. We have a covered community
center, which can be used for programs, meetings and for indoor sports. We
also have a health center that is open every day because our barangay thinks
primarily of the peoples’ health especially the kids. Our community does have
a sari-sari store, bakery and a few salons. We also have churches and chapels.
Our community is productive and I can see the bright future of our community
because we keep on progressing, thanks to the barangay officials and teachers.

My FS Learning Task Overview
Teaching is a respectable profession the world over. The status of teachers has
been comparable in all parts of the globe, hence each year, a celebration of the
WORLD TEACHERS’S DAY!

This alone would tell us, the recognition and honour given to the best
profession of all: TEACHING. A teacher is an extraordinary person in whose hands
lie the future of the world. A teacher regardless of what country he/she comes from
should be a GLOBAL TECAHER or the TECAHER of the WORLD.

Activity 1 Global Teacher from Other Countries

Activity 1 describes the competencies that a global Filipino Teacher should

possess. Now, we need to know, what competencies are required of other
teachers from other countries of the world. Since we cannot travel physically to
other countries, we can reach these places through the use of modern
technology like surfing, Skype, chat, emails, through the world wild web,
interviews and use of other sources of information.
Choose at least two countries other than the Philippines. Search for the
personal and professional competencies required of the teachers in that
particular country. You may also interview a Filipino teacher who has taught in
these countries.

My Reflections/ Insights

1. If the NCBTS is the measure of a global teacher, can the teacher you
interviewed be able to meet the challenges of global education? Why?
Why not?
Yes, the Mrs. Rodrigues will probably meet the challenges of
global education. He is very dedicated in her profession and always giving
her best shot at everything. Teaching for her is a life-long learning process,
she doesn’t stop learning and improving himself. She continues on studying
so she can provide a quality education and updated lessons to her students.
She is not afraid of trying new strategies to cater diverse learners and
provide their needs. Her room is conducive for learning and she herself is
able to build a good learning environment.

2. Are there similarities or differences among teachers in other

countries in terms of the standard requirements for a professional
teacher? Explain your answer.

Yes, there are some similarities and differences among teachers

in other countries in terms of the standard requirements for a professional
teacher. Countries have different perspective about education, they
formulate their own standard requirement to provide the needs and bring
quality education for their learners.

3. Are the Filipino teachers comparable to their fellow teachers in other

countries? Explain your answer.

The other professionals in other countries are intimidating

Filipino teachers because they do not recognize them as graduates for they
lack 2 years of education. The government just recently implemented the
K-12 program on 2015. However, Filipino teachers are hardworking,
perseverant and dedicated to their profession. They are creative enough to
cater the differences and are resourceful to provide the needs of their
learners. Filipino teachers can keep up with the fellow teachers in other

61 | P a g e
Field Study 6: On Becoming the 21st Century Teacher

countries because they are challenged to think critically, improve their

skills and continues to study to master their subject. They are all
motivated to produce globally competitive and 21st century skilled
graduates.

4. How would you prepare to become a global teacher of the 21st

century? How do you see yourself?

I do not stop studying and discovering things out. I read articles

concerning the 21st century education so that I’ll be aware on what do I
need to do in order to prepare myself to be a global teacher of the 21 st
century. I keep learning new skills so that I’ll be flexible and handle a
variety of area in my filed since I am a TLE teacher. I deeply observe
learners nowadays, even in elementary so that I will see all the possible
situations that I will be encountering when I will be in the field of
teaching. Assessing them and thinking of an effective way to address
such situations will also be a great training ground to be an effective
global 21st century teacher. Moreover, we are living in a technology
world, I keep on discovering and learning varied technologies that
would be helpful to me as well as to my learners. I am learning on how
to use technology effectively in classroom and in the teaching-learning
process.

Filipino Math Teacher Serves Immigrants in New York Public

School, Receives Award

Aristides Julmarx Galdones, a math teacher at the International

Community High School in South Bronx, New York City, was one of the seven
recipients of the 2014 Awards for Excelence in teaching Science and
Mathematuics.  
He chose to teach in a public school where all recent students are
immigrant, believing that it would spur personal growth for him. He combined
different teaching styles to make the class more engaging and students could
participate during the discussion.  “'He loves his job and lives for his students,
and because of that, he became the role model I needed. I owe him everything,"
according to one of Aristides' former student. 

The awards are given out yearly to any science or mathematics teacher

who has taught in one of the public schools in New York. The award-giving
body aims to “recognize creative mathematics and science teachers who
achieve superb results and inspire young people to pursue careers in science
and mathematics.”

Aristides Julmarx Galdones Uy (BS Mathematics 1999) teaches algebra,

pre-calculus, and geometry at the International Community High School
(ICHS) in the South Bronx, New York City where all of the students are recent
immigrants. The announcement was made in late 2014.

An immigrant to the US, Uy could have taught in a specialized school,

but opted to teach at the ICHS in order to be of greater help. Described as a
“brilliant mathematician,” Uy is said to combine a highly structured, but
participatory, classroom approach with innovative, hands-on projects. A former
student who is now in college says, “'He loves his job and lives for his students,
and because of that, he became the role model I needed. I owe him everything.”

The Sloan Awards for Excellence in Teaching Science and Mathematics

are given out yearly by the Fund for the City of New York and the Alfred P.
Sloan Foundation, aiming to “recognize creative mathematics and science
teachers who achieve superb results and inspire young people to pursue careers
in science and mathematics.”

Any science or mathematics teacher who has taught in one of New York
City's 422 public high schools for at least five years may be nominated for the
awards by principals, supervisors, colleagues, students, former students,
parents and others who are familiar with the teacher's work.

the will to achieve it in their own way. Another thing, when I see my students get
along well with each other. However, it makes me sad and sometimes frustrated
when a student leaves school and I could not do something to prevent it. It is so
heartbreaking as a teacher who’s been teaching them to be better, make them
realize their dreams and change them for the better to just have all their dreams and
hopes crushed out.

It has always been an unforgettable moment every teachers’ day
celebration, receiving special treatments and meaningful letters from my students.

Are you satisfied with your job as a professional teacher for the past few
years? If yes, why? If no, why not?
In my 13 years of service, I can truly say that teaching is really my
destined profession. I am into it and I enjoy it.
What are the things that you can do as a professional teacher that make you
happy? Sad?
When I see my students’ eagerness to learn and enjoying my subject.
However, it makes me sad when they fail at other subjects and most especially on
my own subject.
How did you mentor younger professional teachers?
I just relate my lessons to real-life situations. I tell them stories of some
people and sometimes I tell them my own stories. Sometimes, I let my students
tell their own stories during class. Through this, I was able to know their past and
what they’ve been through and give them a deep counseling one by one.
Looking back to your early years as a professional, how do you compare
yourself with your mentees now?
I think my mentees are much way better to me when I was at their
stage. I have mentees, which is my colleague now, and sometimes I am observing
them, it is too easy for them to manipulate technologies and be creative about it.
They also get along well with their students and the authority is still there. I am

have their dreams achieved.
What awards or citations have you received?
National award for teacher during the teachers’ day celebration. Also

of my greatest dreams so that I’ll be able to help more students.
Do you think you will retire as a professional teacher or be promoted to
higher position?
I hope I will be promoted. I really wanted to be a Principal so I could
do my good intention freely in helping less fortunate who wanted to study.

Ask the following questions:

Are you satisfied with your job as a professional teacher for the past few
years? If yes, why? If no, why not?
Yes I am, I’ve been teaching for 15 years and day by day my love for
my profession keeps growing. I dedicated myself to my profession, it is all
because I enjoy sharing knowledge and wisdom to my students.
What are the things that you can do as a professional teacher that make you
happy? Sad?
It is being a role model to everyone. Some of my students said that
they wanted to be like me in the future and of course, I will reply them with, “do
not be like me, be better than me”. It is really a great feeling that someone idolizes
you and it means that you have been good to him or her and you are doing great.
However, as time pass by, the DepEd are giving so much pile of paper work to
teachers. We almost had never time to rest and to relax.
What was the most unforgettable experience as an expert professional
teacher? Please tell.
It was during my 2nd month of teaching in public school. I have a grade
9 student who was so reckless and impulsive. He was always called to the
principal’s office because of his gangster-like attitude. Only to find out that he is
from a broken family and is staying at her drunkard father. I always call his
attention during class when I needed someone to recite to, and I talked to him
personally. I just talked some words of wisdom to him. I understand him because I
also came from a broken family but I did not rebelled, I pursued my dreams and
now I am living the life I want. I think I somehow touched his heart because today
he’s now a successful seaman. Sometimes, we got to see each other, he always
thanked me of changing him. I have so many students before that are successful
now and still recognizes me whenever we cross paths and I think these moments
will always be an unforgettable and priceless one.

I think when your student became successful in life and still looks back
on you and they always express their gratitude to you. Another thing is when they
take the same course as you and they’d tell you that it’s because they’d wanted to
be like you in the future.
What are your plans for the future as an expert professional teacher?
Inspire more students, touch more lives and always do things that will
make me a better teacher.
Have you been promoted in your job? Why were you promoted? What
benefits dis you get from your promotion?

Retired Principal

The retired principal I interviewed is wonderful. She loves her profession

and her students. She changed so many lives and produced successful
person in the society. Almost 4 decades of teaching has made the
teacher’s life great and meaningful especially when some of her
students did remember her when they achieved their dreams. A
teacher should not only teach the content written on the book, he/she
should also teach students to dream and have the courage to do fulfill
it-this will be the teachers’ greatest role. However, teachers’ salary is
no match to that of doctors, engineers and architects. It would always
be a pleasure for a teacher of the thought that there will be no other
professionals especially those highly paid without a teacher who
taught them not only the book’s content but also to dream and affect
them to be great person.

My Reflections/ Insights
Based on your answer given by the teachers you interviewed, do they reflect a true
professional teacher?

1. Why do you think so?

Yes, because they unselfishly teach their students. Some of the teachers
I interviewed is dedicated in teaching, some say they want to teach as long as
they can, as long as they have the skill, the knowledge, the strength to teach.
They all teach to make their students be a good citizen. The teachers I
interviewed really reflect as a true professional teacher, they dedicated their
lives in their profession and they do not see teaching as a hard profession. They
see it as challenging and fun.

2. Why don’t you think so?

Based on the interviews you conducted, is being a professional teacher a
fulfilling job? Why?
Considering that you will be a future professional teacher, what standards of
behaviour should you uphold based on the Code of Ethics for Professional
Teachers?
It is really a fulfilling job, imagine doing good things every day, offering
your lives for the future of your students. Following the code of ethics, I must
live a commendable life, be a natural leader and a role model to all people
around me. I must lead them to good things and teach them that helping others
can fulfill your heart and soul. I must be very cautious with my words and
actions because student might perceive my inappropriate behavior as a good
one if I do. Teaching is really the noblest profession, in order to teach you
must offer your blood not just your sweat, be a good role model to everyone
and teach your student at your best always. Teachers need to understand their
roles and responsibilities as value transmitters, value critics and role models,
and communicate high expectations for all students regarding pro-social
behaviors, character development, and democratic values. They should strive,
along with students, to eliminate behaviors that are antithetical to good
character.
