Personal Qualities Observe (O) Data Results

Interview (I) I have found out that…
a. Dignified Observe She addressed all of the
students equally, despite of
their personality
characteristics. She teaches
them without bias or
discrimination.
b. Healthy Observe She maintains proper
personal hygiene and inspires
her students to do the same.
c. Spiritual Observe She highlighted the
Interview significance of religious
matters, specifically praying
before and after a discussion.
d. Knowledgeable Observe She is well-versed in the
lesson and always gets ready
for it.
e. Humble Observe When someone messes up,
Interview she humbles herself and tries
to correct them.
f. Determined Observe She is passionate about her
Interview work and willing to share her
wisdom with the students.
g. Cooperative Observe She pays attention to her
Interview students' needs and thoughts
in order to remain
knowledgeable about their
advancements.

ANALYZE (page 209)

1.
a. Determined – This is outstanding because we all understand that teaching is not and will
never be an easy profession. At all times, a teacher must be extremely passionate about
his or her job. He/she is always interested in sharing his/her wisdom, abilities, and
 personal stories to the students as a teacher, and he/she have targets to achieve, which is
why he/she continue teaching.
b. Knowledgeable – This is outstanding because, as a teacher, you must always be ready
and have adequate knowledge of the lesson to impart with your students. A
knowledgeable teacher will also have a simple means of providing instruction, allowing
him or her to be an effective teacher.
c. Dignified – This is outstanding because the teacher considers all of the students equally
and fairly. He or she aims to cater to each student's needs and pays attention to their
ideas, opinions, and sentiments, despite personal differences.

2. I believe the qualities I have are determination, cooperation, and dignity. If you were to ask
me if I am prepared to be a good teacher someday, I would say no. I still have a lot more to learn,
but I'm much more willing to teach and train myself to become a good, effective teacher who
meets the requirements. I consider myself being a straightforward person who aim to teach
students. I enjoy teaching and am dedicated to having shared not only my knowledge and
expertise with my students, but also my life experiences.

REFLECT (page 210)

My teachers' personal qualities aided me greatly in helping to improve my academic
performance from elementary to college. I was able to know and understand the lessons more
conveniently because of the qualities they represented for me and their assistance. When there is
something, I don't know or am having difficulty with, I can easily reach them and seek for
assistance, and they will eagerly assist me.

One teacher in particular impressed me with his or her humility. Even with her
profession, she makes every effort to understand her students' situations. She is gentle and loving
and patient with all of her students. When a student messes up, she manages it with humility,
having taken the time to understand each student's viewpoint and bringing up with a great way to
solve.

1. In Activity 2, I consider the teacher to be a professional teacher. All of the teacher's
professional competencies are strong, but she excelled in the following: practices the Code of
Ethics for Professional Teachers; teaches the subject matter very well and with mastery; employs
a variety of teaching methods that facilitate learning with skill and ease; and designs or selects
and employs appropriate assessment strategies and tools for lessons taught.

2. My survey responses are consistent with those of the co-teacher I chose because she is a great
professional teacher. She has the abilities and credentials of a competently professional teacher.
She knows how to act as a teacher and shows the professional competencies required of a
teacher.

REFLECT (page 212)

1. As a future teacher, the results imply that I should ____________________________
be ready and improve my skills to become an effective teacher. In order to reach the
educational needs of various students I will be interacting with in the near future, I must be
prepared to handle them.

2. If all the teachers teaching today possess the professional competencies as the teacher/teachers
observed then learners will be ______________________________

able to learn faster and become more encouraged about learning. Making students
actively participating in the discussion will also help to motivate them to learn. Learning will be
more efficient, relevant, and of good quality because the teacher has the adequate professional
skills, capabilities, and expertise.

My Teacher, My Hero

My chosen teacher is such a well and skillful teacher. She treats all of the
students fairly, despite of their personality characteristics. She teaches them without
prejudice or discrimination, and she provides them equitable opportunities to respond to
each question she raises. She illustrates and inculcates in her students the importance of
personal hygiene, as well as the value of prayer. As a teacher, she has the skills and
expertise of the subject, making her more effective in the classroom. She always makes
it a point to employ techniques and methods, as well as some innovative tasks, to
stimulate the students' interest in the topic. She is open and friendly and has good
communication skills, which enable her to deliver lessons to her students with ease. She
enjoys teaching and is willing to share her knowledge with students, as well as to pay
some attention to their needs and thoughts in order to become aware of their progress.
Furthermore, when someone messes up, she kindly corrects them. She interacts with the
child both physically and mentally. She expresses compassion to the students, which
enables them develop an understanding of emotion. Her ability to make a connection
with and understand how children deal with issues and difficulties is greatly appreciated
and gratefully recognized.
