teachers. The teacher is a “licensed professional who posses dignitiy and reputation with
high moral values as well as technical ang professional competence ...he/she adheres to,
observes and practices a set of ehical and moral principles, standards and values.”

state,community,higher authotiries and school officials and parents from
teachers.

country, we have the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers
(PPST).These PPST are standards of good teaching

teacher professional competencies in seven domains, 37 strands and 148 performance
indicators for four career stages. According to PPSt, quality teachers in the Philippine need
to process the following

curriculum ares, coupled with sound and critical understanding of the application of theories and priciples of
teaching and learning.
•provide learning environments that are safe, secure, fair and supportive in order to
promote learner responsibility and achivment.

learners ‘ diverse characteristics and expereinces as inputs to the planning and design of
learning oppertunities,

well as the community’s engagement in the educative process
•value personal growth and professional development and exhibit high personal regard for the profession by
maintaining qualities that uphold the dignity of teaching such as cating attitude, respect and integrity.
Professionalism: The Hallmark of a Professional
No doubt, society expects the teachers as a professional to demonstrate

professionalism in all that he/she does. professional is both and a personal trait.
It behooves every teacher to assume and maintain professional attitude to his word and in dealing with his
work and dealing with his associate in the profession. It should be his self-imposed duty to constantly
improve himself professionally.
Criticism, when necessary, should clearly reflect friendly
motivation and sincere desire to uphold the standards and dignity of the
profession.
Indealing with his pupils or studets. the teacher should ever sirive to be
professionally correct, friendly., and symphathetic
THE DEMANDS OF SOCIETY
FROM
THE TEACHER AS A
PERSON
INTRUDUCTION:
More than any other any other professional, teachers are subjected to scrutiny to the minutest
detail by those they associate with. Teachers are judged more strictly than other professionals.
When a teacher fails to meet expectations of the public, like when she wears an ultra mini skirt
or fails to pay debt on time, the remark from the scrutinizing eye of the public is “teacher pa man
din,” (to think that he/she is a teacher).
The qualities of your favorite teachers may not be very far from one another. Let’s compare them with the
twelve (12) characteristics of an effective teacher gathered from a fiftee-year longitudinal,qualitative study
on more than one thousand essays of teacher education studdents. Walker,Robert, J. Twelve characteristics
of an effective teacher: A Longitudinal ,Qualitative,Quantitative, Quasi-research Study of In-Service and
Pe-Service teacers’:
• Prepared- come to class each day ready to teach
2. positive- have optimistic attitudes about teaching and about students
3. Hold high expectations- set no limits on students and believe everyone can be
successful
4. Creative- are resourceful and inventive in how they teach thier class
5. Fair- handle students and grading fairly

6.Display a personal touch- approachable
7. Cultitative a sense of belonging- have a way to make students feel welcome and
comfortable in their classrooms
8. Compassionate- are concerned about students’ personal problems and can relate
to them and their problems.
9. Have sense of humor- make learning fun and do not take everything
seriously.
10. respect students- do not deliberatly embarras students; teachers who give the
highest respect get the highest respect.
11.Forgiving- do not hold grudges.
12. Admit mistakes- quick to admit being wrong.

A cairing teacher is fair. He/She displays a personal touch and so is approachable. He/She makes
every learner belong and feel welcome. He/She feels his/her students and so is
compassionate.He/she is forgiving, does not kee grudges against learners. he/she is humble
enough to admit mistakes.
Because he/she cares, goes to class prepared. He/she believes in his/her students and so sers high
expectations. He/she cares that students learn and makes learning fun by injecting humor. His/her
genuine care for learners so grounded on his/her graet respect fo every learner.
Professionalism
Professionalism is something demanded of teachers both as professionals and as
persons. Professionalism is succinctly discribed in Article XI of the code of Ethics for
Professional Teachers, to wit:
Section 1. A teacher shall lith with dignity at all times.

Section 2. A teacher shall place premium upon self-respect and self-discipline as the
priciple of personal behavior in all relationships with others and in all
situations.
Section 3. A teacher shall maintain at all times a dignified personality which could
serve as model worthy of emulation by learners, peers and others.
Section 4. A teacher shall always recognize the Almighty God or being guide of his own
destiny and of the destinies of men and nations.
