Activity 1.1 Essay: Be able to explain in one to two paragraphs on why Teaching is one of the
most demanding of all professions.
Every profession can be challenging and some can be misunderstood. Every career can
be tough to adjust to and it takes a lot of effort and it may take years of practice before you
gather enough experience. From my perspective, one of the most difficult professions in this
world is teaching, due to the fact that the real teacher never stops what she’s meant to do.
Teaching is in you and with you 24/7. I do believe that being a teacher is very demanding
compared to other professions, to the point that teachers can't afford to have quality time for
their family and even for themselves anymore. The stress that they go through each day can be
significantly greater. Sometimes, they even have to use their own money for the materials that
are needed in school. They barely go on a vacation during summer with their loved ones because
most of the time they spend their free time planning and preparing for the upcoming school year.
They don't get off work early either, but they do get up earlier than anyone else. Indeed, being a
teacher is a very demanding profession.
Teaching may appear to be a difficult task, but knowing that you have made a difference
in the lives of your students can be very rewarding in your part. In this career you can meet
exciting and wonderful people, you will be able to develop your skills as well in different
aspects, and most importantly, you will be able to help many young learners to shape them into a
better generation.

Activity 1.2 Critical Questions: Reflect and write your answer to the following questions
2. What talents and skills do you have that can be shared or used when you become a full-fledge
teacher?
I don’t have talents that can be shared to my future students but I do have skills which I
can used when I become a full-fledge teacher. Since I’m currently taking Bachelor of
Elementary Education, basically my students would be young children. We all know that
children are kind of naughty like that, so in that case most probably I can use my power
of patience. Further, I am a very creative person so I think I will be able to utilize my
creativity when it comes to presenting my lessons.
3. Think of teacher whom you consider to be talented and skillful in his/her teaching. How do
his/ her talents benefited his/her teaching?
Mrs. Lotus Libao, my former adviser when I’m still in 12 th grade is very talented and
skillful teacher that I’ve ever met. She is very good in communicating, she will be able
to deliver her lesson precisely and she has a magnetic personality that makes her to
become an excellent teacher.
4. Do you believe that teachers are treated unfairly compared to other professions?
I believe that in some circumstances teachers are treated unfairly compared to other
professions. Some people think that if you are a teacher you’re not going to be
successful right away due to the fact that the salary is kind of low. I remembered when
my Aunt asked me, what course I’d like to take when I get into college, the time I said ‘I
wanted to be a teacher’ she immediately suggests that I should take accountancy instead
because the salary is too far big compared to a teacher. ‘You’ll be tired every single day
teaching hard headed students while you’re just simply sitting in an air conditioned
office if you’re an accountant’ she added. By that thinking, I can totally tell that teachers
are being discriminated by other people which are very wrong. Teachers serve as the
primary source of learning. They are the parents of all professions so they must change
their mindset and treatment to all the teachers out there.
5. What are the problems and issues related to teacher’s character and behavior that you are
aware of?
Since Junior High School I observed that the common issues and problems to other
teachers are, some of them aren’t teaching. Some are not motivated to teach us.
Additionally, I am totally aware that there are teachers aren’t treating their learners well.
Some of them showing favoritism which is not a good behavior of a teacher.
6. Identify an expert teacher. Set an interview with him or her. What made him/her as an expert
teacher?
Mrs. Lotus Libao is actually an expert teacher. The way she confidently stands up in
front and delivers her lesson is excellent. Further, you could see in her eyes the passion
about teaching. She has a convincing voice and face that makes her students to be more
motivated to listen and to learn. These are the reasons why she became an expert teacher.

Activity 1.1 Read Article XI of the Code of Ethics then answer the following questions:
According to Article XI of the Code of Ethics, teachers need to live with dignity at all
times wherever they are. They must place a premium upon self-respect and self-
discipline. Also, teachers serve as a model worthy of emulation and, most importantly,
teachers should recognize GOD as a guide of his own destiny and of others. In short,
the big challenge for all teachers is to be a good role model for everyone at all times. I
know it’s not easy because we are all human and it’s our nature to create mistakes, but
as much as possible, teachers need to maintain their good image so that young learners
will have the courage to be better individuals as well.
At this point in time, I am now preparing myself for every challenge that I could
probably encounter in the near future. As a future educator, I want to be the best of
myself so that I will be able to make a difference to my future learners.

3. What is the effect of good habit (virtue) and bad habit (vice) on the will?
Good habits and bad habits have different effects on the will. If you practice bad habits, it
will feed your vices that will lead you to be weaker. The more bad habits you have, the
more you will be tempted to do another one. On the other hand, we can be inspired and
motivated by good habits. We can redefine the course of our lives, do more of what we
want, and feel better about ourselves by making positive decisions in acts that energize and
help our wellbeing.

5. Actual classroom teaching a day should not exceed six hours. What can be some reasons behind
this limit on teaching hours?

students' attention spans aren't long enough to tolerate more than six hours of learning and
studying.
