Activity 1: Read the Preamble and Article 1 of the Code of Ethics thoroughly then answer the
following questions in the Analysis phase of the lesson.

Activity 2: Let’ Analyze

1. Are teachers who have no license considered professional?

 Maybe No, Maybe Yes, It depends because it is not allowed to teach without a license but
when you are doing a demo it is okay. Teachers are not considered to be professionals
because they are not. Anyone can become a teacher and it only takes 3 years of playing
with paints and learning how to make potato stampers.
2. What does technical and professional competence mean? (You may refer in the Lesson
on the Teacher as Professional).
 The technical and professional competence means the behaviors directly related to the
nature of training and the technical proficiency required to exercise effective control.
Competency on the task requires a match between the operator’s competencies and
the competencies required to safely and effectively perform that task.
3. Are private school teachers required of a licensed? What about pre-school teachers,
vocational teachers, ALS teachers, school heads, Education Supervisors, and School
Division Superintendent?
 A private school teachers are not required to have a licensed in terms of teaching. The
Department of Education-National Capital Region issued regional memo 78, s. 2018
that requires all private schools in the region to strictly comply with the prescribed
license
Activity 3. Let’s Apply What You Learned
Using graphic organizers present the various groups that are included in the word “teachers” in the
Code of Ethics.
 1. Are all institutions and professors in teacher education institutions required of a
license? Research for the answers.
 All states require that people be licensed before they can teach in our public schools. The
rigorous process for certification and licensing ensures that teacher meet certain
standards in their subject areas, pass required background checks for the age groups

Tertiary Stakeholders

Activity 1. Let’s Read These!

Read Article II, VIII & IX, or the Code of Ethics (insert Code of Ethics)
(http://teachercodes.iiep.unesco.org/teachercodes/codes/Asia/Philippines.pdf). Then answer the
questions in the ANALYSIS phase of this Lesson.
Activity 2. Let’s Analyze!

Answer the following questions:

1. The schools are the “nurseries of the citizens of the state.” What are nurseries for?
Why schools are called “nurseries of the citizens of the state?”
• Schools are the nurseries of the society where the future citizens are prepared for
owning the responsibility to take the nation to its greater heights. School education is
therefore considered the foundation on which the integrated personality of a child is
developed from the grass root level. Every teacher or school official shall actively help
carry out the declared policies of the state, and shall take an oath to this effect.

2. “Each teacher is a trustee of the cultural and educational heritage of the nations and is
under obligation to transmit to learn such heritage.” In what ways, can teachers do
this?
• Each teacher is said to be trustee of the cultural and educational heritage of the nation
and is obliged to transmit to learners such heritage. Which practice helps him fulfill such
obligations;
A. Observed continuing professional education to be the best Filipino teacher.
B. Teach the latest instructional technology to Filipino children.
3. In what ways can the professional teachers help elevate national morality, promote
national pride, and cultivate a love of country?
• Through the schools as turfs of future citizens, national morality must elevate, promote
national pride and cultivate love of country by doing so, teachers can produce
nationalistic citizenry having great pride of being born as Filipino.

5. Cite actions of a professional teacher that violate Section 5, Article ll.
• In the case of politics and affiliations, any teacher shall not engage in the promotion of
any political, religious, or other partisan interest. Each shall vote and shall exercise all
other constitutional rights and responsibilities.
6. How can a professional teacher violate Sec. 6 and Section 7 of Article Il?

responsibility. A teacher shall not use his position or official authority or influence to
coerce any other person to follow any political course of action.
7. Every teacher shall enjoy academic freedom. What does academic freedom mean? Is
this academic freedom absolute?
• The freedom of teachers and students to teach, study, and pursue knowledge and
research without unreasonable interference or restriction from law, institutional
regulations, or public pressure and it is not absolute and it is not the simple equivalent
of “freedom of speech”, but academic freedom is still limited by values and practices
that are entirely defensible.
Activity 3. Let’s Apply What You Learned A. What is the

professional thing to do:

1. Teacher B has a brother candidate for the mayoralty race in their hometown. The
brother’s opponent has a very good chance of winning and so teacher B “starts secretly
campaigning for his brother. Is this professional?
 No, this is not being professional because being a teacher he/she should not interfere in
offering to vote for his brother in a secret way because he/she doing fraud.
2. Using a PowerPoint presentation showing how a professional teacher should relate to
the state and community.

B. State 5 Do’s and Don’ts on how you should relate to parents for the sake of the learners.
Make sure your Do’s and Don’ts are concrete. e.g. Make sure you have a box of facial
tissue with you for parents who become emotional.

FIVE DO’S
• Do start with a positive about their child or in your students.
• Do share an example of a student’s reflection during the lesson wherein they can relate
to you.
• Do give examples of what language they used in their home just to cope them easily in
the lesson.
• Do (try) have some fun.
• Do something that can make your student have a courage in different lesson wherein
they need to cooperate with you as a teacher. FIVE DON’TS
• Don’t being strict to your students because some students will lessen their confidence
once you are too strict.
• Don’t arrive unprepared because the students also became inactive  Don’t compare
your students to other others students.
• Don’t forget that it’s a team effort.
• Don’t get emotional in front of your students.

LOOKING AHEAD

1. Research on “Helicopter” parents. What is meant by helicopter parents? How should you
relate to them?
• This is instinctual behavior, but some parents rake “being supportive” to another level
and hover over their children like a helicopter-hence the birth of the term. The best way
to describe helicopter parenting (also called cosseting) is “hyper-involvement in a child’s
life.”
2. Read Chapter 2 of Substitute and Special Parental Authority of the Family
Code of the Philippines. What does special parental authority imply? (Title IX – Parental
Authority - Chapter 1-V)

LEARNING EXPERIENCES AND SELF ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES (SAA)

Activity 2. Let’s Analyze

Read Article V, VI & VIII or the Code of Ethics

(http://teachercodes.iiep.unesco.org/teachercodes/codes/Asia/Philippines.pdf)
Find out if your wishes for your teacher are also those mentioned in Article VIII. Then answer the
questions in the ANALYSIS phase of this Lesson.

Answer the following questions:

1. In the “Wishes for my Teacher” which were more common?
• In the “Wishes for my Teacher” the more common things that mentioned is being helpful
because as a teacher they do their mission to the students that is why helping is one of
their responsibilities just to motivate and encourage the students on the things that
teachers wants to adhere.
2. Based on article VIII, the teacher and learners of the code of ethics, find out if your
wishes are those or not those that you read in article VIII.
• In the article VIII all of those are my wishes, because as a student I don’t want to be
discriminated that is why teachers always there to heave you up. Another, teacher shall
not accept gifts from learners because the mind of the people around you are not like
the mind of those people who can understand you.

Activity 3. Let’s Apply What You Learned

A. Compose a rap or a song on how professional teachers should relate to one another to
form a genuine teaching community. Make sure the song is based on Article V.

LOOKING AHEAD

Research on the steps a professional teacher should take if she decides to raise his
grievances against superior.
 FIVE STEP GRIEVANCE HANDLING PROCEDURE
First step: informal approach-wherever possible an employer should make an initial attempt to
resolve a grievance informally. The aim of this is to prevent the matter from escalating and to settle
the problem early on
Second step: A formal meeting with the employee- this will involve holding a grievance hearing with
an employee. The employee has the statutory right to be accompanied at a grievance hearing by a
trade union representative or work colleague.
Third step: Grievance investigation- if there is a need to conduct a grievance investigation it will
include speaking to witnesses and any individuals implicated in the matter. This will help to shed light
on the grievance and to establish the facts of the case.
Fourth step: Grievance outcome- once the investigation has concluded and all of the facts
established and considered a decision will then be made about whether to uphold all or part of the
grievance or if to reject it. The decision should be communicated to the employee.
Fifth step: Grievance appeal- the grievance outcome should notify the individual of their right to
appeal. The appeal hearing chair should then establish why the employee is appealing the decision
and what resolution the employee is seeking.

Lesson 4. The Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers Relationship: His/her Person,
Profession and Business
LEARNING EXPERIENCES AND SELF ASSESSMENT ACTIVITIES (SAA)
Activity 1.
Read Article IV of the Code of Ethics below. Then answer the questions in the ANALYSIS phase of
this Lesson.

Activity 2. Let’s Analyze!

A. What does each quotation mean? To which section of Article IV of the Code of Ethics does each
quote relate?

1. “I wish I could persuade every teacher; to be proud of his occupation not conceited or pompous,
but proud. People who introduce themselves with the shame remark that they are "just teacher"
gives despair in my heart. Did you ever hear a lawyer say depreciatingly that he was only a
patent attorney? Did you ever hear a physician say "I am just a brain surgeon? “I’ll beg of you to
stop apologizing for being a member of the most important profession in the world. Draw
yourself up to your full height: look at anybody squarely in the eye and say. "I am a Teacher" –
Will
 This quotation implies that teacher must behave on his/her profession with pride, as well as carry the
obligation without shame and remove the idea of the term “just”. It relate to section 1, professional teacher
should introduce themselves with pride as professional teachers not as “just” professional teachers.
2. “Good, better, best. Never let it rest until your good is better and your better is best” –Tim
Duncan
 This means that you will start in the bottom and once you strive for something and you accomplished it that is
the time that you can rest and you will call it best. This quotation is related to section 2, making the best
preparation for the teaching career.
3. “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work and learning from
failure.” –Colin Powell
 This means that you can achieve your goals, once you give effort and action on it. Don’t believe on destiny or
fates because there is no scientific bases. How will you achieve your goals if you are just sitting there? Of
course, you will strive for it and it is related to section
3.
 4. “Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.” –Bobby Unser
 This quotation means that success will make you fully ready of what is ahead. It also related to section 3, about
continuing professional education.
5. “Self-respect is the fruit of discipline; the sense of dignity goes with the ability to say no to
oneself.” –Abraham Joshua Heschel
 This quotation implies that the most important things in life is having a good behavior that human possess
because in every situation your values is the one that people criticize to us. It is related to section 4.
6. “There are two kinds of pride both good and bad. Good pride represents our dignity and self-
respect. Bad pride is the deadly sin of superiority that reeks of conceit and arrogance.” –John C.
Maxwell
 This quotation means, in life you need to balance your pride. Not all the time you are in good pride and
bad pride because we experience different situations in life. It is related to section 5.

B. Answer the following questions:

1. What is the big challenge for a teacher?
 The big challenge for the teachers are to handle different students. Different in terms of
their behaviors wherein teachers’ are the one to adjust to their students. Nowadays,
students have different ability we didn’t read what they are thinking so that as a teacher
they need to be attached or close to every students because in that way they will get the
attention of the students and they will easily know the ability of them.
2. Are you ready to face the challenge?
 Yes, I am ready to what challenge will come to me in the future, because I know from the
start that I will become a teacher someday and what the teachers experienced can also
happen to me.
3. There are more women than men in the teaching profession. Does this indicate that
fewer men can face the challenge of the teaching profession?
 Of course not, maybe because men have different passion in life and those who become
a teacher have a purpose and mission in terms of teaching.
4. With teachers’ borrowing habits, which section of Article X do teachers fail to observe?
 With teachers’ borrowing habits, the section of Article X that teachers fail to observe is
the section 1, because section 1 tells a teacher has the right to engage, directly or
indirectly, in legitimate income generation; provide that it does not relate to or adversely
affect his work as a teacher because some of the teachers are engaged in the Xerox
machines and printed materials wherein this cannot be suitable to their works.
5. When do professional teachers violate Section 3 of Article X
 Any violation of any provisions of this code shall be sufficient ground for the imposition
against the erring teacher of the disciplinary action consisting of revocation of his
certification of Registration and license as a Professional teacher, suspension from the
practice of teaching profession or reprimand.

Activity 3. Let’s Apply What You Learned

A. Develop a 15-minute PowerPoint presentation to convince viewers that teaching is the
noblest profession and so deserving the best preparation and the best candidates.
B. Describe the teacher as a person based on Article XI of the Code of Ethics by way of a
cinquain. A cinquain is a five-line composed of
Line 1 – one word
Line 2 – 2 adjectives that describe Line 1
 Line 3 – 3 action words that relate to line 1
Line 4 – 4 words (feelings) that relate to Line 1 or a complete sentence
Line 5 – 1 word, a synonym of line 1 or a word that sums it up

C. To counter teachers’ problems of indebtedness, cite proverbs (in the mothertongue,

highly encouraged) that can serve as reminders for professional teachers not to live
beyond their means. Explain each and relate it to Article X of the Code of Ethics.

e.g. hangga’t markitid ang kumot, matutong mamaluktot. “Spending is quick,

earning is slow.”

 “By Learning You Will Teach, By Teaching You Will Learn”

This means that it gives meaning and significance to every action in our lives because at any
given point we are learning or teaching. The main idea is that there are two sides, when you are
learning you are teaching and when you are teaching you are learning. When you re teaching you are
learning about yourself, your material, your students, and the process. When you’re learning your
teaching future generations through our common shared knowledge because as more people add
certain things to their knowledge bank that banks grows and becomes more prevalent and more
influential. I can relate this proverbs in the article X wherein once you engage in business you can
easily understand the things that adhere in the plan because you learned a lot.

LOOKING AHEAD

Books go with teaching and learning. Books go with teachers and students but why it is
unethical for teachers to supply books in school.
 It is NOT unethical unless the teacher violates district or building policy or makes a profit
on the books. Making profit distributing books to captivate audience would be a major
violation of ethics.

MODULE 5

LET’S REFLECT
Reflect on the statement: “As a glocal teacher, act locally but think globally,”

LET’S ANALYZE
Answer the following questions based on the GTS Index Report
1. What message do these data convey: 2/3 of the countries judged the professional status of
teachers most similar to social workers? Explain your answer.

2. In most European countries, more respondents believe that pupils disrespected teachers than
respected them. Is this situation true to the Philippine setting? Yes? NO? Explain your answer.

3. If given an opportunity to experience teaching in another country, where would you like to teach?
Explain.

Reflect on the statement: “As a glocal teacher, act locally but think globally.”-As a teacher it is very
important that a glocal teacher, act locally in order to maximize the use of available materials and at
the same time the students can understand well and to have a deep understanding and to have an
authentic learning because the learning materials used by the teacher is based on the real lives of the
learners. - But since we are also glocal teachers, we should always see to it that we are not
neglecting our own culture and country. We need to remind the learners to still appreciate our own
country in spite of the continuous globalization we are experiencing. We should relate the learning
content specified in the curriculum to local information and materials from the leaner’s community.-I
believe that as educators, we should be think globally and teach locally. We must be preparing our
learners to be globally competitive but also giving equal importance to own Filipino history, culture
and the country itself.

1. The Global Teacher Status Index is based on in-depth opinion by Populus in 35 countries that
explores the attitudes on issues ranging from what is a fair salary for teachers to whether they
think pupils respect teachers to how highly people rank their own education system. There
 have been many international comparisons in education, but this the first time that the role of
teacher status has been studied in-depth.

2. No, the findings reveal that teachers enjoy the highest status in China, where they score a
perfect 100. The profession is also held in high regard in Malaysia. But teachers in Japan,
which has a score of below 40, are much less respected than their peers in the other Asian
economies surveyed. The situation is far worse, however, in Brazil and Israel, where the
teaching profession gets status marks of just 1 and 6.5 respectively.

3. Japan was by far our most popular country, and why shouldn't it be? Japan is an incredible
place to live and work. With kind people, clean streets, beautiful nature, and historic temples,
what's not to love? Teaching abroad in Japan is one of the best ways to live in Japan for an
extended amount of time, and be able to afford the high cost of living. While it isn't the best-
paying country in Asia, Japan has been a popular teach abroad destination for a very long time
and has a great structure set in place for those who want to teach abroad. Many people
decide to teach abroad in Japan through the JET program, however, this program is extremely
competitive. Thankfully, Go Overseas does have 27 other programs to choose from, so there
are plenty of positions for everyone!

MODULE 6

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

1. Teachers are the backbone of high-quality public education and strengthening the teacher
workforce can lay the foundation for fruitful investments in other areas of public education.
Improving teacher quality is central to our national effort to achieve excellence in the
classroom. Teacher quality matters. It is, in fact, the most influential school-related factor
determining student achievement. Improving teaching quality occurs at a time when learning
shifts from the public space to a more personal area, and the role of the educator has also
evolved. With knowledge all around us, accessible anytime and anywhere, the role of the
teacher is going to be drastically transformed in the twenty-first century. In the future, schools
will be more fluid, teachers more adaptable and flexible, and students will be more
accountable as the responsibility of learning becomes theirs. As teaching and learning become
more personalized, educators need to come up with innovative teaching methodologies on a
case-to-case basis to suit the learner’s requirement. This is why we need to do some new
thinking when it comes to the teaching profession. We need a dramatic overhaul of how we
recruit, prepare, induct and retain good teachers. New distance learning models can be
powerful new tools to give teachers more opportunities to be better teachers.

2. The Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers defines teacher quality in the Philippines.
The standards describe the expectations of teachers’ increasing levels of knowledge, practice
and professional engagement. At the same time, the standards allow for teachers’ growing
 understanding, applied with increasing sophistication across a broader and more complex
range of teaching/learning situations.

LET’S ANALYZE

1. Which of the philosophies studied in Lesson 1 are reflected in the given philosophy?

 Behaviorism, Linguistic and Existentialism

2. What are teacher Macrina’s concept/c of the learner?

 Has a natural interest in learning and is capable of learning

 Can be influence by his/her environments
 Love the profession
 Have a flexible mind to understand the students

3. Who, according to Teacher Macrina’s philosophy, is a good and educated person?

 A good and educated person consistently practicing good values and integrity to serve as a
model of every child. They strengthen the value of formation of every child through the
experience inside and outside of the classroom.

4. What is the teacher concept of values?

  There are unchanging values in changing times and these must be passed on to every child by
modeling and value integration in their lesson.
 A good teacher cannot adequately reach every single student. This failure should be lamented,
but it should not discourage a teacher to the detriment of his craft.

5. Why is one’s philosophy of education said to be one’s “window” to the world or “compass” in
life?

 Education is the means, way, door, window or compass to a better way of life. When
looking out a window my view is limited by the direction the window faces. With the
compass you are taught it always points north. It means if you look at the window and
think your future you can see a better version go to the right path because you are
guided by teachers.

With Teacher Macrina’s philosophy of education as an example, formulate your own philosophy of
education. (By the way, when you apply for a teaching job at the Department of Education, you will
be asked to write your own philosophy.

In life it is important to understand who you are as a person, what you believe in and what you hold
to be real. These values are important because they dictate what you do in your life as well as how
you act and react to situations that you may face. This concept holds no less importance or value in
the profession of teaching. Who you are as a person and what you believe in controls what you will
be like as a teacher. The philosophy as a teacher is important because it leads to, among other
aspects, exactly how you present yourself, your material and how you develop you students.
When trying to understand what type of philosophy it is you as a teacher want to categorize and
substantially implicate into your teaching, it is important to first find out who you are as a person.
What is important to you in life, how you learn best, how you think others learn best and what is real
to you are all important questions to ask yourself. For me, I feel the two philosophies, progressivism
and existentialism. Progressivism being the philosophy that says ideas should be tested to find their
truths. This philosophy also says the value of questions from students are very important because it
leads to learning. Progressivism involves both cross discipline learning and problem solving in its
instruction. It states that learning occurs best when students are involved and experiencing ideas for
themselves. As a teacher I would try and find out what it is my students enjoy and feel is important.
I would in turn use that information to balance my lessons and curriculum. I would also try to
incorporate different subjects into my teaching as well, i.e. history into a philosophy class and vice
versa. Another aspect I feel that has driven me to my philosophical beliefs is my own experience in
the classroom. I have always felt I have learned much better when I was given the chance to
experience and question for myself the material I was being taught. As a teacher I would like to
present my students with a variety of activities that would stimulate them to learn in a different
manner than they might be used to. I would want them to be active participants in the classroom
and in the work, I would be doing with them. I would encourage them to question both what they
were being taught, and myself as well as to have the desire to find out more. I think this would
create a stimulus that may help them to retain the subject matter in a way they could relate to.
These are the reasons I believe I feel so strongly about progressivism as a philosophy of education. I
have found that I also believe that the involvement of my philosophies will encourage my students to
be more engaged in what they are learning. I feel as if the two philosophies together create excited
students who are willing to accept learning and teaching alike.

MODULE 9

LET’S VIEW AND DISCUSS

View the moving story of Teddy and Ms. Thompson at YOUTUBE entitled “Three letters from
Teddy.”

LET’S ANALYZE
1. What do you like most in the story?

 The part I liked the most in the story is that both Ms. Thompson and Teddy make a big
difference each of their lives. Because, as I watched the movie, I realized that both
teacher and student can learn from each other. It is not always that students is the only
one learning, but it should be vice versa which teacher should learn from students too.

2. Do you know a student who is similarly situated as “Teddy?”

 Yes, I do know of a student who is similarly situated as “Teddy”. I know him since he
was my high-school classmate before. He is somehow similarly situated as “teddy”
because he was once our so-called “mathematician” because of his good skills in solving
mathematics problems, however, when his parents got separated, he lost his interest in
studying and ended up as a dropped-student in our batch (grade 8).

3. Did you ever have a Ms. Thompson in your life?

 Yes, I have a “Ms. Thompson” in my life. I remembered my high-school teacher who

helped me to boost my confidence so I can be an extrovert person and show or express
my hidden talent and of course, feelings which I kept it on my own. Anyway, from the
movie, I learned that as a teacher, you should not easily judge your students without
 knowing his/her context. If you observed him/her being absent-minded, maybe you
should know what kind of problem he/she dealing with. And by that, you will be able to
formulate solutions on how you will help your student. Also, I learned that it is true that
a teacher will have a big impact in one’s students depending on how he/she teach or
handle them.

4. Any lesson learned?

LET’S APPLY WHAT YOU HAVE LEARNED

1. Complete the statement:
 I am convinced that I have chosen the noblest profession because teaching is a
profession where I’ll help others become what they want to be and touch their lives
that will affect them eternally. And so I commit, therefore, as a future teacher, I will
practice and execute my skills as early as I can, so that I’ll able to handle my students
with different context in their lives and making a big difference together with them.

2. Make your own quotable quote on teaching as a noblest profession.

 “Teaching is a noble profession that support youthful personalities and shape them into
something incredible that no one can’t tell when it lasts.”
