E. POST-TEST

Resolve the issue.

Is teaching more of a vocation or more of a profession?

Teaching is more than a noble profession. It is a vocation, a calling. It does not
only revolve around teaching a subject matter, but teaching a student. It is putting in
mind and heart that teachers are not just after the grades of the students, but they
are into their betterment. It is more of being catalysts of change-transforming and
touching the lives of each and every learner that one may encounter.
Teaching is more of a vocation for it is a lifelong commitment of fulfilling one’s
duties without asking something in return. It is the burning passion within the
teachers coming from their desire to lead the learners in their path. It is not only
about doing what is required of them, but always beyond what their duties and
responsibilities are. It is also a vocation for it takes a heart work, more than just
hard work. It is doing everything for the students with all your heart and mind. It’s
baring out your soul for the students’ betterment. Thus, it is not just about coming to
work and such. It is being one with your work and your learners. It is doing
everything that you can to fulfill your promise as a teacher. It’s making your
profession your passion.

hand, strands are more specific dimensions of teacher practice under
every domain. And lastly, indicators are the concrete and observable

among the seven domains? Justify your stand.

subject matter that he is teaching.

possible that you can move to the higher career stage? Knowing where you are, what
professional development goals could you prepare based on your strength and areas
for improvement?

a must for all the teachers to have the mastery of the subject matter that
they are teaching. As a teacher, I know that I can move to the higher career
stage for I am doing everything that I could to improve myself and my
practices as a teacher. I attend seminars and workshops which could help me
to become an effective and efficient teacher. I also plan to finish my graduate
studies and be more engaged to activities which will surely help me grow in
my profession and as an individual.

REFLECTION
Choose ONE of the two writing prompts to write a well-developed
response in paragraph form.

From your map, choose your top future entry (goal) and clearly describe what
steps you could take to help you reach this goal (minimum of three steps).
Describe what resources you would need to meet these goals. Why is it important
for you to achieve such professional growth?

Entering the graduate school is the game changer of my career as it will lead to
my advancement of skill and knowledge needed along with my experience and
the rest will follow. Step one, enroll at a graduate school and finish my masters.
Second step, perform and do well in all the performance ratings every school year
and get promoted along the way with the right credentials and Third step, enroll
at a graduate school again for doctoral degree and then take the principal’s test
and pass it and become a school head someday. The resources I need will be

and process that needs to be combined in order for me to be fully become a
newly hired teacher in DepED.

Activity 2. Answer the following questions by putting a

check mark inside the circle if you Agree or Disagree to the
following statements and then justify your answer on the space

1. As teachers are professionals and hired as the right people to the right

it is a must for teachers to render exemplary performance. AGREE

studies. AGREE

1. Any teacher engaged in actual classroom instruction shall not be required to
render more than 6 hours of actual classroom teaching per day with all the
classroom teaching preparation, checking of given exercises and other related
work to their normal teaching duties. Provided however, that where the
exigencies of the service so require, any teacher may be required to render more
than 6 hours but not exceeding 8 hours of actual teaching hours a day. How
does this affect your integrity and professional duties as a teacher?

For me, it is part of the job to have overtime sometimes. But when frequently
done, we also feel exhausted. 6 hours of teaching is enough for us to feel
tired and excess works sometimes beyond that time will make us feel
exhausted.
That’s why we can’t blame teachers who ask for salary increase it’s because we
love teaching that we still continue.

2. There shall be no discrimination whatsoever in the entrance to the teaching

profession, and/or during in exercising its duties or even in the termination of
tenure in service. Does this affect your integrity and professional duties as a
teacher?

3. As a teacher you submitted yourself in the evaluation and hiring process of your
Schools Division by following what was stipulated in DO 7, s. 2015. In the RQA,
you were ranked number 1. It so happened the appointing authority selected and
appointed the teacher next in rank to you. Did the appointing authority violate
your rights as a teacher? Does this affect your integrity and professional duties
as a teacher?

Yes, they should follow what is right and just.

4. DepEd provides the curricula to be implemented and teachers are encouraged to

be innovative in their teaching and classroom methods. The department
supports the academic freedom of the teacher in the discharge of their
professional duties, particularly with regard to teaching and classroom
management. Does this affect your integrity and professional duties?

Yes.

5. Salary scales of teachers shall provide for a gradual progression from a minimum to
a maximum salary by means of regular increments, granted automatically after 3
years to the maximum steps, as provided by law. Provided, that the efficiency rating
of the teacher concerned is at least Satisfactory. How true is this? Does this affect
your integrity and professional duties as a teacher?

He/She should still be compensated. But needs to work on the ratings because of
the PBB that would affect him/her but the salary will not be affected.

REFLECTION In the Department of Education, we are saddened to hear

news of malpractices of teachers in the profession. Let us uplift ourselves and our
profession. Write your commitment to complete the paragraph below.
