LEARNING OUTCOMES
Let’s Do It ! ( Activity)
Watch the Thailand movie entitled ―Teacher’s Diary‖ and be able to make a
reflection if teaching is a vocation and mission when faced with lot of trials and
difficulties.
Some teachers regard teaching as just a career, a job while others see it as a mission.
What is the difference? Read the poem below
If you are doing it only because you are paid for it, it’s a job;
If you are doing it not only for the pay but also for service, it’s a mission.
If you quit because your boss or colleague criticized you, it’s a job;
If you keep on teaching out of love, it’s a mission.
If you teach because it does not interfere with your other activities it’s a job;
If you are committed to teaching even if it means letting go of other activities,
it’s a mission.
If you quit because no one praises or thanks you for what you do , it’s a job;
If you remain teaching even though nobody recognizes your efforts, it’s a
mission.
From the eyes of those who believe it was God who called you to teach just as
God called those biblical figures which they did not understand the events surrounding
their call but in their great faith they answered YES.
Mission – comes from the Latin word “misio” which means to send.
Accdg. to Webster mission is a task assigned
Accdg. to Alfred North Whitehead ― It is to help the child become the man of
culture and of expertise.‖
Accdg. to Bertrand Russel ―To provide opportunities for the child’s growth and to
remove hampering influences‖.
The striving for excellence is one of the element of a profession bring us to our
―puwede na‖ mentality which is inimical to excellence. This mentality is expressed in
ways like‖talagang ganyan yan‖, wala na tayong magawa‖, ―di na man halata‖, ―di ko na
yan‖, dagdag trabaho/gastos lang yan‖, all inidcators of defeatism and resignation to
mediocrity. If we stick to complacent mentality, excellent mission accomplishment
eludes us.
In the world of work, only the best and the brightest make it. If we remain true
to our calling and mission, we have no choice but to take the endless and less travelled
road to excellence.
Dear teacher:
So I am suspicious of education.
My request is: Help your students become more human.
Your efforts must never produce learned monsters,
skilled psychopaths, and Eichmann’s.
Explain your mission as a future professional teacher in helping students become more
human.

INTRODUCTION
This chapter consists of two lessons. Lesson 1 deals with the demands of the
society from a professional teacher. It includes the discussion on different professional
competencies through the four models of effective teaching. It also presents the
comprehensive view of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST) in the
Philippines.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Let’s Do It ! ( Activity)
Ask someone around you to answer this question: What do you expect from a
professional teacher?
Teachers have tremendous power to influence students that is why the society
expect much of the teacher. In addition, teachers as part of the school are covered by
the Code of Ethics that explain that the state, the community, the teaching community,
school officials, non -teaching personnel and learners as groups of people with and for
whom a teacher works and along with it she would play a different role – nurse, tutor,
guidance counselor, community leader, resource speaker, consultant rolled into one.
From his/her title ―teacher‖, the society primarily demands him/her ―to teach
well‖. The learning of the learners is the teacher’s main concern.
Profession – commonly refers to one’s occupation, job or specialty. It has defined goals,
and from its performance one derives self-fulfillment.
Educators view it as ones vocation, employment or lifework.
A teacher considers it as his career or field of lifelong endeavor.
Professional – is one who went through long years of preparation to earn a teacher
education degree recognized by CHED after taking the Licensure Examination for
Teachers (LET) administered by the Board for Professional Teachers with the supervision
of the Professional Regulation Commission . Aspect of the professional life of a teacher:
2. TEACHING COMPETENCE
1. Knowledge
a. Knowledge of Subject Matter – must have gained mastery of content is
required for the elementary education curriculum and background
knowledge in a particular field of specialization for secondary teachers.
b. Knowledge of Teaching Methodologies – received training in a wide
variety of teaching strategies culminated with a 12 unit field experience
capped with a full time practicum .
- gained experience in lesson planning, employing teaching strategies and
evaluating the entire learning activities.
2. Teaching Skills
c. Questioning Technique
d. Use of Technology – ― 21st century illiterate are those who are not able to
know how to manipulate technology‖.
The word ―teacher‖ suggests that the main responsibility of the professional
teachers is to teach and its primary customer is the learner. There is a number of
models/framework of effective teaching. In the country, we have PPST or the Philippine
Professional Standards for Teachers which are standards of good teaching.
Since the main task of the teacher is to teach, society demands competence from
him/her. Teaching competence is spelled out in PPST and in the four models. This
means that she/he has to teach effectively by:
The following describes the breadth of 7 Domains that are required by teachers
to be effective in the 21st Century in the Philippines. Quality teachers in the Philippines
need to possess the following characteristics:
recognize the importance of mastery of content knowledge and its
interconnectedness within and across curriculum areas, coupled with a sound
and critical understanding of the application of theories and principles of teaching
and learning. They apply developmentally appropriate and meaningful pedagogy
grounded on content knowledge and current research. They display proficiency
in Mother Tongue, Filipino and English to facilitate the teaching and learning
process, as well as exhibit the needed skills in the use of communication
strategies, teaching strategies and technologies to promote high-quality learning
outcomes.
provide learning environments that are safe, secure, fair and supportive in order
to promote learner responsibility and achievement. They create an environment
that is learning-focused and they efficiently manage learner behavior in a
physical and virtual space. They utilize a range of resources and provide
intellectually challenging and stimulating activities to encourage constructive
classroom interactions geared towards the attainment of high standards of
learning.
establish learning environments that are responsive to learner diversity. They
respect learners’ diverse characteristics and experiences as inputs to the
planning and design of learning opportunities. They encourage the celebration of
diversity in the classroom and the need for teaching practices that are
differentiated to encourage all learners to be successful citizens in a changing
local and global environment, interact with the national and local curriculum
requirements. They translate curriculum content into learning activities that are
relevant to learners and based on the principles of effective teaching and
learning. They apply their professional knowledge to plan and design, individually
or in collaboration with colleagues, well-structured and sequenced lessons that
are contextually relevant, responsive to learners’ needs and incorporate a range
of teaching and learning resources. They communicate learning goals to support
learner participation, understanding and achievement.
The 7 Domains collectively comprise 37 strands that refer to more specific dimensions of
teacher practices.
3. Wearing the LPT pin and putting LPT letters after the name is the
same way as that of the Doctor of Medicine M.D., R.N. for regitered
nurse and CPA for Certified Public Accoutnant. What is the meaning
of doing so?
4. Below are teacher’s obligations spelled out in Batas Pambansa Blg. 232 section 16

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of Education (DepEd) on Sunday said teachers were entitled
to due process after broadcaster Raffy Tulfo used his radio program to force a 55-year-old public
school teacher to resign from her job and give up her license.
Tulfo’s widely criticized coercion came after a grandmother and two parents bemoaned on his
show, ―Raffy Tulfo in Action,‖ that the Grade 2 teacher, Melita Limjuco, had asked their child to sit
outside the classroom when he failed to bring his report card. ―Teachers are entitled to due process,
which was not given to her during the program,‖ the DepEd said in its first full statement since the
issue erupted.
„Serious impact‟
―Especially since resignation from her job earlier than her intended retirement will have serious
impact on her person and family,‖ the statement added. Tulfo told Limjuco via phone call to withdraw
her teaching license, otherwise, the broadcaster threatened, she would face child abuse charges.
The family’s decision to take their child’s case to Tulfo seemed all the more peculiar after the
DepEd said in its statement that even before the television program aired, there had been ―a meeting
between the parents of the learner and the teacher before the school head.‖
―It is best for this process to continue,‖ the DepEd said. ―We assure the public that this case is being
handled by the DepEd regional and division offices, through procedures consistent with the applicable
laws and policies.‖
The DepEd’s statement appeared intended to placate both sides, saying that children had a right
to protection ―against bullying and child abuse,‖ but that teachers were also expected to ―exercise
reasonable supervision over the conduct of the child, including disciplining them.‖
„Teacher shaming‟
―DepEd endeavors to provide a proper forum to discuss the facts and issues that will resolve conflicts
and concerns in a fair and humane manner,‖ it added. Teachers’ groups, however, were less
circumspect. ―We call on our Secretary Leonor Briones to make necessary steps to protect and
defend our teachers,‖ said Benjo Basas, chair of Teachers’ Dignity Coalition.
―This and other incidents should be taken seriously by the DepEd,‖ he said. While this was one of the
most high-profile in recent memory, Basas said episodes of ―teacher shaming‖ were far from isolated.
„Trial by publicity‟
―In many circumstances, teachers accused of violation of children’s rights have been subjected to
harassment, … physical threat and some kind of media sensationalism,‖ he said, adding that the
antichild abuse laws had often been used as a tool to ―threaten and intimidate‖ teachers.
The Alliance of Concerned Teachers announced that it would hold a rally protesting Tulfo’s ―trial
by publicity‖ at Liwasang Bonifacio, Manila, on Monday.

The teacher is said to build every individual’s national morality to the love of the
country to the extent that they are aware of their surroundings and obey the laws
implemented by the country. It is believed that schools are the nurseries of the citizens
of the state. Therefore, teachers must be able to fully transmit cultural and educational
heritage to their learners. Teachers must also be role-models when it comes to human
rights and responsibilities.
Both definitions may apply to the statement in the Code of Ethics: ―schools are
the nurseries of the citizens of the state.‖ Indeed parents leave their children in schools
under the care of teachers while they work. Like nurseries where young plants are
cultivated and grown, schools through teachers are entrusted with the noble task of
instilling pride in learners one’s cultural and educational heritage, love of country and in
sowing the seeds of national morality.
These are many things in our Filipino culture that we can be proud of and are
therefore worth preserving and passing on to maintain Filipino identity, promote national
pride and cultivate love of country.
The professional teacher shall enjoy academic freedom so he/she can share the
product of his/her researchers and investigations in support of the endless search for
truth. However, this academic freedom is not absolute. It has limits. If the research
findings are damaging to the state, the research results shall be submitted to the proper
authorities for appropriate action.

state?
a. Campaign for the political administration candidate.
b. Instill nationalism in learners.
c. Doctor research findings to favor the state.
d. Use his position to influence learners to support his interest.

Jordan violate the Code of Ethics?
