A. How do I use my personal qualities to become a good teacher?
Teacher plays an important role in education of every student.
There are many opinions about what are the qualities of a good
teacher. Somebody think that it is knowledge of the subject, but
there are those who claim that charisma is more important.
In my view, personal qualities of the teacher is important than

education. To begin with, teacher must to know how to draw
students’ attention, and charismatic teacher can do it. Also, good
teacher should be able to tell interesting. You know, it is
difficult to assimilate information, if the teacher says without
enthusiasm, boring monotone voice. No doubt that nowadays teacher
is not only a conductor of knowledge but a person who is
responsible for the future of his or her students. That is why
teacher must be reliable and responsible person. Finally, good
teacher is that teacher, who is able to find an individual
approach to each student – it is very important try to find
abilities in every child. In contrast, there are those, who claim
that the best teacher is someone who is very knowledgeable about
the subject. They say that person with great education surely can
be great teacher. They can’t be justified!
Like what I have said of personal qualities of the teacher, I must

be responsible and be like them. I must enhance more my personal
qualities and potential of being a good and effective teacher in
the future. I begin with myself to be a role model. Also, applying
the different theories, strategies and methods of teaching and
learning process, I will gain more knowledge to handle the
learners’ differences to cater students’ needs.
To sum up, I strongly believe that the goal of the teacher is to

find a common language with the students and instill them the love
of good knowledge. The mentioned personal qualities above is more
important for teacher than his/her knowledge especially that I
will be teaching elementary pupils, the foundation of learning.
B.How does the experienced teacher utilize his/her personal

qualities to make him/her a good teacher?

The teacher’s foremost duty is intellectual—to impart knowledge,
training for management, decision-making, leadership qualities,
wisdom and understanding about practical life problems and respect
for individual diversity so the teacher must be knowledgable and
hands-on to the children’s performances.
Teacher and students seem to be involved in everything that is

happening inside the classroom. Teacher must always be ready to
alternative whenever students fail to understand or perform a
given task. The teacher must be committed to students and their
learning. Build rapport with your pupils. Teacher must
understand, care and love her student to maintain harmonios
atmosphere inside the classroom. He/she must know the children’s
differences to adjust and respond accordingly to their different
personality.
Teacher must be creative, innovative and resourceful in which

teacher can provide alternatives in teaching instructions to be
used especially if there is no available material/s in the
community that the teacher will be using in her lesson.
Mentioned qualities above, are some qualities that a techer must

be acquire. In teaching the most important role is to impart
knowledge and to mold the pupils’ totality as a good and
productive individual in the future. So teacher must enhance
herself to cope up and updated especially that teacher is handling
different world of every children around her.

My Learning Portfolio
MY QUALITIES AS A PERSON FOR THE FUTURE TEACHING PROFESSION
I, as a human person I possess different qualities— positive as well as

negative qualities in life. In relation with this program I have been
taken, I assessed myself if I am qualified in this teaching career. Do I
have qualities and potentials in this world of teaching? Do I really
have a passion in this career? Do I really love teaching and children?
As I go on in this teaching program, at first I think I can do these and

that… I am thinking that teaching is very simple task. But it’s a big,
big, big NO… it is because everything in teaching and learning process
requires time, effort, heart and mind in order to have a good and
successful delivery of instruction as well as to have a good or
excellent outcome. Go back to the qualities I possess that is essential
in teaching, I describe myself as kind, patience, creative, calm,

friendly, goal-oriented, honest, sincere, helpful and optimistic; on the
other hand, there are times that I am strict, sensitive and lack of
confident to myself and to my work. These nature qualities of mine are
my stepping stone towards teaching profession. These can be nurture for
the betterment of myself as a future educator. And as I go on to higher
level (and now I am 4th year BEEd student) I am not just nurturing
myself but I am acquiring new knowledge and experiences not just to
improve myself as a person but to mold me as a good educator in the
future. I am glad I’ve chosen this career. Being a contributor to each
and every young mind’s dream and achievement gives an unexplainable
feeling to every teacher, which I am dreaming of to be one of those.
Teacher portrays a lot — to the mind of flint, the teacher must be iron,
and strikes sparks; to the empty pitcher, the teacher becomes a well; to
the fallow mind, a planter of seeds; to the cluttered mind, a gardener
to weed, shape and a space for growing; to the lens, teacher is light,
and to the mind of light, a lens; to the sleeper the teacher is a wake-
up call of birds at sunrise; to clay, the teacher is potter, a sculptor,
and a trainer in self-shaping; to the developed mind, the teacher is
colleagu, listener, a friend. To be a teacher is noblest. And I’m
looking forward to be one of them in the future.

My Mentor, Ma’am Glo— a Veritable, Strict yet
a Very Loving and Caring Teacher of Grade 4-
Mapagmahal
A good teacher can inspire hope, ignite imagination and instill

A love of learning.

My Veritable, Strict yet a Very Loving and Caring Mentor
For me, she is the best teacher that retains a strong memory of what it she
like to be a learner has to know,
You will not just love the sound of her own voice, but the impact she can have
and how she used it well.
She prefer story-telling to telling, and showing to explaining.
She teaches students how to deliver constructive criticism and how to field
the good and the bad of it elegantly.
She teaches that goals are immensely important but not half as much as the
enlightenment you will get on your way there.
She teaches kids not just about the beauty of logic and numbers, but about the
beauty of words and art and music, the bounties you may harness if you develop
your intuition and a strong sense of when something feels right and wrong.
She teaches how to win and lose with grace - and how to apologize fully.
She understands how to engage her students— in a strict yet sweet and heart-
warming manner.
She always pushes and encourages students to do their best while to learn and
perform given tasks.
She viewed every child not as an empty bottled to be filled but as a candle to
be lit.
Her teaching style is a wonderful trait that makes her unique, respectful and
loved by all.
I adore her very much and I learn much from her,
I inspired to be like her someday on how she teach, handle and love her
pupils.
I salute you Ma’am for being such a molder of those little minds and future
professionals.
You’re a great artist in molding human mind and spirit!
I am glad that I meet a teacher like you…

Progressivism
Least dominant?
Essentialism and Perennialism
3. For Teacher 2, what Philosophy has gained

the highest score?
Essentialism
This is the most dominant philosophy of the

teacher. What has the lowest score?
Perennialism

My Reflections/ Insights
1. Have you discovered your dominant Philosophy of Education? How do you

feel after knowing it? Is your philosophy or firm belief of education
reflected in what you are doing as a future teacher?
After I have checked my answers on the survey, I realized of what

teacher I am in the future. I am a progressivist teacher. Yes, it
also reflected on me because in my previous demonstration teaching I
focused on how the pupils will take my lesson in their real life. I
allow them to work by themselves on how they present the activity.
Also I, am very much aware on children’s attitude in developing their
good moral values as they grew older.
2. In your observations, does an experienced teacher practice what they

believe in (philosophy of education) in actual teaching? If yes,
describe the instance/episode. If No, what could be the reason.
Yes, it is because teachers have their own techniques and strategies

especially when it comes to handling pupils’ behavior and
conditioning pupils in the classroom setting so that they will absorb
the lessons well. As I observed teachers’ philosopy in education
depends upon his/her students because in the primary grades teachers
concern is only the essential matter that the pupils should know that
is why some teachers in primary grades are essentialist. They first
concern is how pupils read, write and percieve little things/ideas
into their mind and behaviour. While the teacher in the higher grade
like what I have interviewed in a Grade VI class adviser that he is
a progressivist teacher. Because in his case he is facilitating
learning to his pupils by their own. The teacher’s responsibility is
to guide them and the pupils could be able to explore and discover
things in a creative and critical thinking in order for them to have
a meaningful learning.

OBSERVATIONS:
Teacher Arlene is a kinder teacher. She is a essentialist teacher.

She teaches her pupils first what is essential like how to handle
a pen in preparation for the kids to write letters, words and
short phrases. Her focus is on the psychomor skills and
socialization of the pupils. So in her lesson she prepare a games
that pupils could be able to participatee and enhance their
socialization skills as well as communication skills. She focuses
on what is only need because those kids are easily to exhaust and
bore so she must be selective on what you are teaching. And also

A teacher asa profeesional will always be found in aschool

setting. A teacher’s official working place is a school. A school
is an institution where learning occurs under the guidance of a
professional called the teacher.
 List the activities in the daily routine of the teacher.

 Identify the teacher’s role in creating a conducive learning
environment in the school.
A regular school day is equivalent to 8m hours. It begins

officially at 8:00 in the morning and ends up at 5:00 in the
afternoon. Adjustments are sometimes made, but the time spent in
school is 8 hours. Majority (of the eight hours) is spent guiding
the learners in their lessons, which is called the contact period.
Usually, the teacher is assigned to teach for 6 hours. The
remaining time of 2 hours is spent for co-curricular and extra-
curricular activities. Normally, there are five school days per
week, Monday to Friday.
Usually, a teacher is assigned to one class, as a class adviser.

She is made to teach one or more subject content areas depending
on the population of the school and the number of teachers. There
are schools where the teacher teaches all the subjects for the
whole class while in bigger schools they have subject area
specialists, who teach the same grade level or different grade
levels.

This experiential learning episode will take you to the school
setting. You will spend more time making observations and talking
to your resource teacher. Here are the steps that will guide you

1. Would you consider teaching as a full time job? Why? Why not?
Yes I consider teaching a full time job. First, because

teachers especially here in provinces acquire eight hours at
school. Second, because teachers are occupied by school works
at home especially in planning their lessons for everyday
teaching. Third, teachers are not only occupied by the school
works but also with the activities in our community. So to sum
up, being a teacher is a multitasking also a “multiple
profession” you have. It not just a profession or work that at
the end of the day you comply with all the requirements and
have your salary. Instead being a teacher is a call, you must
be committed and devoted in this profession. You will not
appreciate teaching if you are just looking for a wage so as
you cannot produce a committed and devoted citizen in the
future.
2. Are the conditions in the classroom conducive to the welfare of

both the learners and teacher? How will you improve on it?
Yes, because the classroom structure is well defined wherein in

every corner learner will learn by the posted information,
sayings and any other learning materials. The classroom are
well labeled in order that the learners will be able to find
easily a particular things where it could be found.
3. After closely observing the teacher in the school setting, are

you motivated to continue on becoming a teacher? What in the
teacher’s practices inspire you to become a professional
teacher?
After closely observing the teacher in the school setting, I am

motivated to continue on becoming a teacher. Being a teacher is
a noblest despite the odds you will encounter along the way. I
inspire to become a teacher because teacher has a major role in
the growth and improvement of each and every pupils. In every
dream and success of your pupils you have a contribution to
attain what they want to be in the future. And it is a great

feeling that because of you people are experiencing a good life
and a good future.
4. How can I improve the school setting that I have observed when
I become a teacher?
To improve the school setting that I have when I become a
future teacher I must be also observe the following;
a. Classroom arrangement: well ventilated and well organized;

the tables, desks, board, feeding paraphernalia and learning
materials.
b. Bulletin Board Display: attractive, updated and informative
c. School playground: clean, safe and distant to the classrooms

IN THE
COMMUNITY
SETTING
In the Philippines, the governmenthas built schools in almost all

Barangays, town or city. This was done to provide access and equal

oppurtunity for every school child for equality education. At
present, here are more than half a million public school teacher
deployed in all these schools throughout the country. The school
and the teacher have a very crucial responsibility in bringing
about change and development in the community on one hand and the
community provides a lot learning oppurtunities on the other hand.
Where else can one find resoyrces that are authentic and are in
the context of the school setting? The COMMUNITY. Who is one
significant community person who earns great resect of the
community? THE TEACHER.
 Identify community resources available for use by the teachers

in the school through a Rapid Appraisal Survey.
 Observe how teachers utilize community resources in teaching.
 Collect information on how the teacher is looked upon in the
community.
Here are some key points in this episode:

 While the school is the official working place of a Teacher,
the community is the wider learning environment.
 School are often perceived to be the transformative agent of
change, hence the teachers are the agent of change.
 The teachers are looked upon as important agents of change.
 Teachers’ roles and functions do not stop within the four
walls of the school, but extend beyond the community.
 The community provides the authentic resource for teaching
and learning.

BRIEF HISTORY OF BARANGAYS SAN NICOLAS

During the Spanish regime, Barangay San Nicolas was named as
one of the barangays in the poblacion area, bounded on the north
by rice fields, on the south, by Brgy. Sta. Maria, on the east, by
Parish Church, and on the west, by Camparil River. As the settlers
expanded, the street was extended northeastward, going to the
Catholic Cemetery. This is called Sto. Nino Street.
The inhabitants of this place used to be very active when it

comes to holding of religious activities. It is said that one of
the highlights in celebrating the feast day of their Patron Saint,
Senior San Nicolas Tolentino was staging of the “Gran Comedia”
participated in by some talented young and middle aged
constituents who were originally trained by Spanish friars. In the
month of May, they also used to dance the “Dotoc” as a culmination
to the search for “Holy Cross” where Jesus Christ was crucified.
Celebrations were usually held in their chapel, erected at the end
of the road where it stands until now.
Today however, all these died down because of modernization.

Nevertheless, religious traditions obtaining in the parish that
are commemorated yearly are still upheld by this barangay.

Activity 2
Activity 1 describes the competencies that a global Filipino

Teacher should possess. Now, we need to know what competenies are
required of other teachers from other countries of the world.
Since we cannot travel physically to other countries, we can reach

these places through the use of modern technology like surfing,
chat, emails through the world wide web, interviews and use of
other sources of information.
Choose at least two countries other than the Philippins. Search

for the personal and professional competencies required of the
teachers in that particular country. You may also interview a
Filipino teacher who has taught in these countries.

Requirements to 1.Gain the relevant qualifications for teacher

become registration byobtaining either a four-year
Professional bachelor of education (BEd) or a three-year
Teachers degree, such as a bachelor of arts (BA) or
bachelorof science (BSc). You can then enter an
education faculty of auniversity and complete a
graduate educational methodology degree, which
will enable you to teach in high school.
2.Note that in Australia, if you obtain a BEd or
other primary degree, you must have two majors
or teaching areas to be registered as a
teacher. When considering courses, make sure
you select two teaching areas. Note also that
in Australia, a three-year degree is equivalent
to a U.S. four-yeardegree, as eight courses are

completed each year in Australia, as opposed to
six in the United States.
3.Become registered with the relevant Teacher
Registration Board in your state. In
Queensland, there is the Queensland College of
Teachers, which is automatically notified of
allgraduates in education from universities
around the state. Newly graduated teachers,
however, will still have to contact the College
of Teachers to obtain their registration
information.
4.Apply for teaching jobs. Once registration is
finished and youhave an ID card, you can
approach any private school for aposition as a
teacher; however, if you wish to teach in
thestate school districts, which pay higher
rates, you are required to go before a panel of
Education Department staff for a suitability
review. This is an interview, during which
youare required to answer in writing exactly
how you would handle a number of different
teaching scenarios, thus demonstrating your
teaching abilities.
5.Receive an S (suitability) rating following the
interview, which will determine how quickly you
will be offered a position inthe state school
system. A rating of S1 will be offered a job
almost immediately, and an S2 may have to wait
a few weeks.An S3 may need to take whatever
school is offered, no matter where, and an S4
really should study some more and try fo
ranother interview in a few months.
6.Learn the operating rules peculiar to each
state system. The rules will differ slightly in
each state in Australia, but they are
essentially the same. The teacher unions in
each state are nolonger compulsory, but most
teachers become members mainly because the
unions offer comprehensive lega lrepresentation
in case of litigation.

If the NCBTS is the measure of a global teacher, can the teacher
you interviewed be able to meet the challenges of global
education? Why? Why not?
Yes because every child needs a teacher. They hold keys to the
sustainable development of every society. “Education goals cannot
be meet without teacher”, the UNESCO said. Whatever maybe the
specialization of every teacher, local government priorities
education and retention in national education teacher, local
governments prioritize education and policies.
This is called paradigm shift needed in order to change the system
from the traditional ways, into the so called 21 st century global
standard teacher.
Are there similarities or differences among teachers in other

countries in terms of the standard requirements for a professional
teacher? Explain your answer.
I think there are similarities among teacher in other countries in
terms of standard requirements for a professional teacher because
the recognition of qualifications of professional teachers from
one ASEAN country to another was being facilitated. Like the
International Standard Organization, it facilitates uniform
standard qualification not just in the school but also the
teachers who have major role inside the school.
Are Filipino teachers comparable to their fellow teachers in other

countries?
I think yes, because there are also some Filipino teachers that
could really compete throughout the world. And there are some
cases where in Filipino teachers in other countries emphasized
because of their hard work and devotion in teaching profession.

How would you prepare to become a global teacher of the 21 st
century? How do you see yourself?
Taking up this program and exposure in the field study are my

great armor in this profession I’m choosing. Although there are
times I find it hard in teaching, I consider myself become a
global teacher. In real teaching I know that it’s a matter of
adjustment and must be devoted in this profession. In 3 years
exposure in field study I learned a lot yet I know that it’s
enough to say that I’m a well-equipped future teacher but I’m
doing my best to be one. Everything is in the process so I
believed that in the future I will become a competitive and
global teacher.
Story of a Filipino Teacher Abroad
Teaching English to US Kids: A Pinay's Success Story
IBy Julita L. Lizardo
Updated Tuesday November 08, 2011 - 2:46pm
t was in November 2004 when the agency contacted me and said that I was
one of the teacher applicants who was scheduled to be interviewed by the
human resources representatives from the Baltimore City Public Schools.
They told me the time of the interview and that it was going to be held
at the Manila Peninsula Hotel in Makati City. I had mixed emotions when
I learned about this great news. I was ecstatic because I knew that I
was getting close to achieving my “American Dream.” At the same time, I
was also nervous because I knew that it was going to be a tough
competition among the teacher applicants.
Preparing for Charm City

So, I started planning and preparing for that interview. I began
thinking about the professional attire that I was going to wear. I also

started reviewing my notes and books on special education and did my
research about the Baltimore City Public Schools and Baltimore City in
general. After my research, I learned about the special education
programs they had that time, curriculum, population, products, famous
places and its wonderful people. As a matter of fact, the city earned
its name as the “Charm City” in the United States because of its
beautiful people. In addition, I have also learned that one of my
favorite authors, Edgar Allan Poe was from Baltimore City. You can just
imagine how excited I was after learning all of these facts even before
my interview.
When the day of my interview came, I went to the hotel equipped and
ready to be grilled with questions. There, I saw a lot of teachers
waiting outside the room. Just like me, I can see in their faces
excitement and nervousness. I was able to witness different behaviors
while waiting for my turn. Some were reading and reviewing some notes
and books. Others were just chilling and waiting for their turn to be
over, while the rest were having conversations with each other. Based on
the conversations, I learned that everyone had only one goal! That was
to pass the interview because that was our ticket to have the taste of
the “American Dream.”
The interview that would spell the future

During my interview, I was surprised that the interviewer was kind and
was making me feel comfortable. During the interview, I have learned
that they were hiring Filipino teachers because there were not enough
highly qualified teachers in Baltimore City Schools to teach math,
science, and special education during that time. The No Child Left
behind Policy has been requiring school systems to hire highly qualified
teachers, which means teachers who are certified or have the potentials
to be certified in the said areas. As a result, they ended up hiring
teachers overseas which included the Philippines. They included the
Philippines because of our educational system being patterned from
theirs and with English being our medium of instruction. In addition,
speaking and hearing someone speaking the English language is an
everyday occurrence in the Philippines when doing business transactions
and in academic institutions. Even the street vendors who some of them
may not be able to express themselves in English fluently are also able
to understand the language. Isn’t it amazing? This is an asset that I
think our country has.
I was interviewed for at least 30 minutes and I was able to pass the
interview with flying colors. The district’s representative told me that
I was already hired even if she was not supposed to disclose the result
yet until all of the more than 200 applicants have already been
interviewed. It was such an unforgettable day! When I got out of the
room, it felt like I was in heaven! I kept jumping up and down while the

rest of the applicants were looking at me crazily and maybe enviously.
Others also asked me about the questions that were asked and a lot more
things.
After this memorable day, most of my days were spent submitting and
processing all my documents. I thought passing the interview was the
ticket to the US, but no! It was just the beginning of a very tedious
and agonizing process. It was in May 2005 when I was scheduled for an
interview before the US embassy. I would not forget that day, when my
visa was granted. It was a dream-come-true. All of my sleepless nights,
effort, perseverance and patience were paid off. I immediately thought
about the financial gains that it was going to bring me and my family.
My family and I started building castles in the air, like with my whole
family migrating to the US, experiencing the snow, etc. I was also after
the wonderful experience of being able to teach English to a country
whose mother tongue is English.
Goodbye Philippines
The remainder of my days after getting the visa was dreadful. I needed
to resign from my school where I was an English teacher for eight years.
I needed to face my students, colleagues and administrators confidently
to let them know that I was fine but in reality, I was not! Besides
saying goodbye to my institution, I also came to the realization that I
was leaving my two children and husband in less than a month. My
daughter was just in third grade during that time while my son was just
in first grade. That thought started to pierce my heart. I would cry
every night just thinking about it! It was too painful to think about
that I felt like I was going to die. But then again, the dream of me
giving my children a brighter future defeated my loneliness. That time,
as a parent, it was more important than for me to cater the loneliness
that was ahead of me.
When the day of my departure came, reality started to sink in! This was
the reality of being away from my children and my husband. At the
airport, I could see on the faces of my innocent children how lonely
they were that their beloved “Mama” was going to leave them. I could see
how they wished they could stop me from leaving! It was the loneliest
moment in my life. Even lonelier and more painful than the feeling that
I had when my father died. It was like a nightmare. I wish it was! That
way, I could have just waken up and found out that it was nothing but a
dream… but it was reality! My family was sitting in the bench outside
the airport as they bade goodbye. I needed to show them that I was brave
but the truth was, my heart was bleeding inside.
Adjusting to the American culture

I, together with 50 other teachers, came to Baltimore City, Maryland in
June 2005. We shared the same experiences and heartaches. We had
difficulty adjusting to a new country, city, and most of all, living
with three other Filipino teachers in a two-bedroom apartment. But we
started to like it. We realized that besides God, we only had each other
because we did not have any family members who would be able to assist
us in times of need. We would take the bus, metro and the subway
whenever we needed to go to shopping centers. We would also gather in
each other’s apartment every Friday night for Bible studies.
My first year was a challenging one. I realized that teaching the native
speakers of the English language is still different from teaching
English to second language speakers of the language. They used a lot of
idioms which some of them, I was not even familiar with despite me being
an English teacher. My accent and pronunciation of some words were also
different despite me teaching speech and oral communication to college
students. My students would correct me and ask me to repeat what I was
saying. I did not get slighted by it, but rather, took it as a
challenge.
I had students who had behavioral problems but my being strict with my
students in the Philippines and my knowledge about special education
helped me a lot during my first year. They came very handy. I did not
have serious problems with classroom management compared to my other
colleagues. Some of them were disrespectful but it was not because of my
accent and being a Filipino. One thing that these children are very much
oriented with is that they could not discriminate people because of
their speech, nationality and especially, the color of one’s skin. They
know that it is racism.
It was an adjustment to the culture as well. There were some things that
I would miss that our students do in the Philippines that our students
here do not do. Back home, our students and parents regard us as their
second parents. They put such high regard to teachers. Filipino students
stand to greet their teachers and whenever they respond to our
questions. It took me about a month to adjust in this regard. Then, I
realized that both I and my students were actually adjusting to each
other’s ways and cultures. I also realized that children are children
wherever you go all over the world. They will always need affection,
love, care, and most of all, will always be hungry for knowledge.
“Bayanihan spirit” lives on

I started to build and develop a rapport with my students, parents and
colleagues. Then, my students started inquiring about the Philippines
and its people. They wanted to know all the things about my country.
They were so curious about our country because they were not even
familiar that our country exists until I came to the school. One thing
that amazed them was when I told them that when the American children

are in school, the Filipino children are sleeping. They did not have any
idea that it was happening on the other side of the world! My
administrators and parents liked me as well. Parents were happy that
their children were being taught by a highly qualified teacher. They
also liked me because they saw my passion and dedication to the teaching
profession.
I had colleagues who were already deciding to go back home during our
first year. However, with continued support and faith in God, we were
able to survive our first tough year. One thing that I can say about us
Filipino teachers is that, we’re resilient and as pliant as the bamboos.
Trials seemed to make us fall down but we just dusted ourselves off
instead and continued to stand from where we left off.
In retrospect, it was a very challenging yet rewarding first year.

Besides our administrators, parents, and students, we are also thankful
of the Filipino communities who supported us all the way. We truly have
witnessed the authentic “bayanihan” spirit from our friends in the River
of Life International Christian Fellowship. They were the ones who were
there to provide not only our tangible needs but most of all, our
spiritual needs. They demonstrated the real essence of a Christian
spirit- that is helping brothers and sisters without any expectations of
being paid back. Our first year was successful because of their support.
Looking back
This is now my sixth year in my school and in my district. I have now
been a part of our leadership team and executive board. I, together with
my principal and other selected colleagues, meet weekly to discuss
school policies and programs that will make my school a well-run school.
My principal has given me multiple awards because of my contributions in
my school’s achievement of the Adequate Yearly Progress for three
consecutive years. I also have dismissed a lot of special education
students because they have already been performing on grade level after
giving then intensive reading instruction. I am glad and blessed that
they recognize my contribution to my school.
I have a lot of things to thank God for. My family has been here with me
for three years now. My daughter is now in ninth grade and my son is now
in seventh grade. Both of them are consistent honor students. Besides
enjoying some financial gains that coming to America had brought me and
my family, I am so thankful that I was able to know the real God. My God
who continues to love me unconditionally despite of my inequities? My
God who promises in Jeremiah 29:11 that, “For I know the plans that I
have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give
you hope and a future!”

If you ask me if I feel bad about leaving the Filipino students behind
despite them being in need of good teachers like us, my answer is
sometimes. On the other hand, I also believe that we do not have to be
in our country to make our country proud. Every day, I always instill in
my mind that I am not just carrying myself but I’m also a “flag carrier”
of my beloved country. Every day, I make my country proud by making sure
that I am giving my best to my American students. That way, they will
remember my country because of this Filipino teacher who touched their
lives and whose name has been engraved in their hearts. I serve my
students because I do believe that God brought me to this country for a
reason, and that is to be like a parent to these children who are hungry
and longing for a parent’s love that some parents could not provide.
“Mabuhay tayong mga Pinoy!”

It has been a very successful six years because of my faith in God.
Without Him, I am nothing. I would have gone home and accepted my
defeat. I offer all of my success to Him. I hope that my story will
inspire other Filipino teachers overseas. I know that it is tough to be
away from our families but there is always light at the end of the
tunnel. That light is God! The more we experience struggles or
challenges the more that we should cling to God because He is our rock
and provider. May God continue to bless us and our families with good
health, perseverance, wisdom and determination? May He also continue to
bless our country and our adoptive countries as well? When you feel
lonely being away from your family, just read Romans 5:5, Matthew 6:25-
34, and Jeremiah 29:11. I hope that this article inspires all of the
Filipinos worldwide! Mabuhay tayong mga Pinoy!!!

them as a true professional teacher. They all have the goal as
a professional teacher where in they really assure that every
learners really learn from them.

manifest inside/outside the school. Teachers also serve as a
second mother of every students. She was capable of doing all
things for the goodness and betterment of his/her pupils. She
is concern with all the consequences that may arises
inside/outside the school.
4. Considering that you will be a future professional teacher,

My Overall Reflection
As a future educator, I must pass the Licensure Examination for Teachers so

that I can say that I fullfilled my study in college and I can say that I am
professional teacher so that I am authorized to teach and share my knowledge
to my future pupils.
I shall bear in in mind the different fundamentalrequirements to be a

professional teacher. One has to graduate in college with a Baccalaurette
degree, pass the LET, be a member of professional teacher organization and
abide bt the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers.
I shall acquire those 21st century skills for teachers to make the client
satisfy of what they should throughout their lives.
I must be aware of what community I belong when I am already a teacher. I

shall challenge myself to accept them as a family too, because this commuinty
has a counterpart in the progress of the school and other environment. I must
build a harmonious rapport with the community and other people around to
promote oneness as a family.
To be a teacher is not just a profession, it is a call. I shall be devoted in

my every action. Being a teacher is a role model in a community so I must be
careful with my mind and actions.
I must also prepare yself to be globally competitive because I am one of the

21st century teacher in the future.
