Make a Reflection

1. When you become a professional teacher in the future, how can you enhance the
state of quality teachers in the Philippines?

 As a future professional teacher, I can enhance the state of quality teachers in the
Philippines by engaging in continuous professional development, fostering a
positive and inclusive learning environment, and advocating for supportive
policies that prioritize teacher well-being and development.
2. After studying the different domains and competencies of the PPST, which domain
do you find EASY to master? Why? Which domain seems to be difficult for you to
master? Why?

I find the domain of "Learning Environment" easy to master because creating a conducive
learning space aligns with my communication and organizational skills. The domain of
"Community Linkages" seems challenging as it involves external collaborations, which may
require more experience and networking to navigate effectively.
