 LESSON 3

The Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers Relationship with the Internal Stakeholders

ANALYSIS: Let’s Analyze

1. In the “Wishes for My Teacher” that were read, which were most common?

 I think the most common is Section 4 because when I was in high school there are so
many issues about this one. Teachers should not receive gifts from students and their
parents because it can cause conflict of interest if the gif is of major value. Teacher who
received valuable gifts is possible sending a message to the parents that there will be
special consideration given to the students. Being a teacher is a gift and has a lot of
responsibility, be a professional and follow the Code of Ethics because that was your
responsibility and you need to value your dignity as a teacher. Be a teacher that your
student will be proud of and be an inspiration to your students.

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.

 Yes, as I read the Article VIII all my wishes are stated in that article. Code of Ethics for
teachers is designed to protect the rights of the students, all the students. It is
important that teachers understand that when they get a teaching position they are
agreeing to follow the code of ethics.

Synapse Strengtheners

Research on the steps a professional teacher should take if she decides to raise his grievances
against his superior.

FORMAL GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE

 Every teacher has a right to seek redress for grievances relating to their employment.
This policy complies with both the Employment Act 2002 and with the ACAS Code of
Practice entitled "Discipline and Grievance Procedures”
 Stage 1 – The teacher should submit a formal written statement of grievance to the
head teacher using a prepared pro forma (Appendix 1) which should outline clearly the
nature of the grievance and the suggested resolution sought by the aggrieved party. The
head teacher or senior manager will convene a formal grievance hearing within 10
working days (or otherwise by mutual agreement) of receipt of the written statement of
grievance. The teacher will have the right to be represented at the hearing and to call
 witnesses, and the head teacher will respond in writing to the formal statement of
grievance within 5 working days of the date of the hearing. 

 Stage 2 – Should the aggrieved employee be dissatisfied with the Stage 1 decision, there
shall be a right of appeal to the Director, Education Services. A statement of appeal
must be submitted in writing within 10 working days of receipt of the written Stage 1
decision explaining the reasons for continuing dissatisfaction.
 Stage 3 – If the teacher remains dissatisfied with the response from the Group Manager
there shall be a right of appeal to the Appeals Sub-Committee. Time limits for convening
a meeting of the appeals committee and for transmitting its decision to the aggrieved
party are as set out in section 6 of this procedure.

 Stage 4 – The final decision of the local authority can be submitted to the Joint
Secretaries of the Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers for consideration
through its appeals process only if the subject matter of the original grievance relates to
the interpretation or implementation of a national agreement promulgated by the
SNCT 

LESSON 4

The Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers: His/her Person, Profession and Business

ACTIVITY: LET’S DO THESE

2. Here are quotes on the teaching profession. To which Section of Article IV does each
quotation refer?
 The quotes relates to Section 1, it state that teaching is the noblest profession
and you should be proud of your profession. And you should be happy that you
are a professional teacher who is respected by everyone. Don’t make a remark
that you are “just teachers” instead draw yourself up to your height; look at
everybody squarely in the eye and say “I am a teacher”. Be proud of what you
achieve because you choose to be a teacher and God put you in that position for
a reason.
 SYNAPSE STRENGHTENERS

Research on how students regard the teaching profession. Do they see it as a noblest
profession for those who cannot make it in the other profession?

 The first thing that you must know about teaching as a profession is that teaching is
about inspiring and motivating students to realize and exceed their potentials. The
greatest teachers of all time have devoted their life in inspiring and empowering their
students to achieve great things and be a good human being.

 The career in teaching requires people who have the conviction to nurture young minds
and mold them into something great. Since time immemorial, the profession of teaching
has been considered as one of the noblest professions.

B. THE TEACHER AS A PERSON

ACTIVITY: Let’s Do These

Read Article XI of the Code of Ethics then answer the ff questions.

1. What is the big challenge for a teacher?

 The big challenge for a teacher in Article XI is Section 3 states to maintain at all
times a dignified personality which could serve as model worthy of emulation by
learners, peers, and others. As teachers serve as an example to his students.
Teachers must adhere to the exacting standards of morality and decency. A
teacher both in his official and personal conduct must display exemplary behavior. He
must freely and willingly accept restrictions on his conduct that might be viewed the
personal behavior of teachers, IN AND OUTSIDE THE CLASSROOM, must be beyond
reproach they must observe a high standard of integrity and honesty. With such high
standard of morality and stringent rule of conduct the teacher must observe, not only
inside the school but also even outside.

2. Are you ready to face the challenge?

  As a future teacher, am I ready? Absolutely yes, I am ready since the day I
decided to enroll to this course. I am willing and I know being a professional
teacher it takes courage, strength and wisdom to fulfill your goals. I choose this
profession because I want to share my learning and knowledge to my future
students and also I want to inspire them that all their dreams will come true if
they have trust, faith that God will make their dreams a reality. I know there are
a lot of challenges along the way but I know in my heart I can make it.

Analysis:

There are more women than men in the teaching a profession. Does this indicate that less
men are able to face the challenge of the teaching profession?

 In my own opinion I believe that women have a lot of patience when it comes to
teaching. Gender discrimination. Most people have a notion that women are more “nurturing”
and are more suited to caring for children. While this may be true to some extent for the lower
grades, this concept entirely dissolves at higher levels.
 Accusations. This goes for other aspects of life in general, but if a male teacher is accused of
rape or similar things, they will probably be instantly fired and their career and entire life will
most likely be ruined, regardless of whether they did anything or not.

Application:

Describe the teacher as a person based on Article XI of the Code of Ethics y way of cinquain. A
cinquain is a five-line poem composed of:

Line 1- one word

Line 2- Adjectives that describe line 1
Line 3- action words that relate to line 1
Line 4- 4 words feeling that relates to line 1 or a complete sentence.
Line 5- 1 word a synonym of line 1 or a word that sums it up

matters such as in the settlement of his just debts, loans and other financial
affairs. Teachers should maintain dignity inside and outside the school. Should
not be involved in any acts that can ruin his reputation.

2. 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.

SYNAPSE STRENGTHENERS

1. What if a teacher who is transferred to another school believes there is no justification

for the transfer? What must he/she do?
 Every school district I know of has a master contract detailing the conditions of
employment, including but not limited to transfers. If the district’s teachers are a
part of a collective bargaining unit, they are entitled to representation when an
issue such as a non-voluntary transfer happens. Your first step should probably
be to read your master contract to learn what it has to say about transfers. If you
still feel after reading your master contract that your transfer violated terms of
 the contract, you should speak either with a collective bargaining unit official or
with an attorney who specializes in employment law.

2. Research on the budget allocated to education by the State for the past 5 years. Based on
the figures, has the government been true to the Constitution?

 According to Article XIV, Section 5 of the 1987 Constitution expressly provides that: “The
State shall assign the highest budgetary priority to education and ensure that teaching
will attract and retain its rightful share of the best available talents through adequate
remuneration and other means of job satisfaction and fulfillment”. The government has
been true to the Constitution. The Constitution plays a very important role in our society
today. The Constitution explains how our government works. The main aim of the
Constitution is to make sure that the people and the government get the rights they
were promised for.

Chapter 5

On Becoming a Glocal Teacher

Lesson 1- The Global and Global Teacher Professional: Is there a Difference?

Make a Reflection

1. Who is a glocal teacher? What are the attributes of a glocal teacher?

 A glocal teacher is someone who thinks and acts both locally and globally with
worldwide perspectives but is teaching in the communities, localities, towns,
provinces and regions where he is situated. As a future teacher you have to
blend both global.
The attributes of a glocal teacher are the following:
 Engaging students in learning about the world and in exploring their place in it
 Using real-life global examples, materials, and resources when considering local,
national, and human issues
 Valuing the input of culturally and linguistically diverse learners, families, and
colleagues, and modeling cultural sensitivity
 Creating environments that encourage positive cross-cultural interaction
 Modeling social responsibility in local and global contexts
 Helping learners find appropriate actions to improve local and global conditions
  Assessing learners’ global competence and providing growth opportunities based
on their levels of development
 Advocating for global education and social responsibility.

2. Can the teacher whom you have interviewed be classified as a glocal teacher? Why?
Why not?

 The teacher that I have interviewed will be classified as a glocal teacher, since
she is a competent teacher who is armed with enough skills, appropriate
attitudes and universal values to teach students with both time tested as well as
modern technologies in education in any place in the world

3. Can one be a global teacher, without teaching abroad? Write your insight

 Yes, because a global teacher is a competent teacher who is armed with enough
skills, appropriate attitude and universal values to teach students with both time
tested as well as modern technologies in education in any place in the world. A
global teacher is a teacher with global perspectives, thinks locally and globally
right in the place he or she is situated

4. Reflect on the statement “ As a glocal teacher, act locally but think globally”

 As a future 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

Title: The Global Teacher Status Index Report

Task No. 2: Answer the following questions based on the GTSIndex 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.

 There is no international consensus on what constitutes a

comparative profession for teaching, but two-thirds of countries judged the social status
of teachers to be most similar to social workers. Teaching and social work tend to
overlap in areas of individual growth and development. Teachers undertake structured
tasks to help support students' personal growth, social and emotional development, and
academic pursuits.
 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.
 No, In the Philippines teachers are respected. Public school teachers are considered
gems because they are front liners as far as basic education is concerned. The basic
knowledge, the positive value and attitude, and the skills that the teachers have
inculcated among youths will be carried throughout their entire lifetime.

3. Fifty percent of parents in China would encourage their children to become teachers.
Would you do the same thing to your younger sister or brother? Why? Why not?

 Absolutely yes, because teaching is good and a novel profession but if my younger
siblings don’t want to be a teacher I still support them even if they take another path,
the important thing is that they are happy and can helps others too.

4. Do you agree with the survey results that teachers should be paid according to student
performance? Yes? Or No? Why? Why not?

 No, because learners have different understanding of everything therefore they have
different performances. Teacher should pay accordingly not base on student
performance. As a future educator teaching isn’t an easy job, it takes a lot of courage,
patience and understanding.

5. Teachers in the 21countries surveyed, have positive trust ratings. Do you think Filipino
teachers are also trusted? Yes? Or No? Explain?

 Yes, Filipino teachers are trusted. They are responsible and good at what they do. In fact
in other countries they are consider as a highly trusted and like by their employees.
Filipino teachers exhibit excellence, professionalism and high sense of responsibility.

2. Enrichment activity. Write an Essay on the topic. How does a Filipino teacher compare
with a teacher in the ASEAN and beyond?

 Filipino teacher is just like other teacher in foreign countries, Filipino teachers are
passionate to teach. They have remarkable values, skills, abilities and knowledge.
 Teachers play a significant part in the lives of children, especially during their formative
years. They are integral in molding students to become responsible citizens of the
country. They are at our side when we needed guidance, they discipline us when we go
astray, they give moral support and encourage us to do more, and to learn more. They
teach us not to give up when we are about to surrender.
