Clarify Your Task

Before you embark on your one-semester journey in Observation and Teaching

Assistantship, it may be good to be reminded of the personal and professional qualities which we,
teachers, ought to possess. Striving to be the best teacher, the teacher who will leave an imprint
of himself/ herself on his/her students, is a never-ending journey.

Let’s buckle down for work!

1. You will review the qualities of good teachers as contained in documents such as the
Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPSTs) and the Southeast Asia Teachers
Competency Framework and the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers.

Power of a Teacher”.
(These mentioned documents and links are also uploaded in our Google Classroom)
