REFLECTION
What do you gain/realize after learning this topic?
I have learned in this topic that the technology changes our world our way of communication
and of teaching. The incorporation of the changing realities of our world’s society and the ease
of mobility of peoples of the world have become a challenge to your preparation as prospective
teacher. And I have realized that First, Teacher must have an enough skills in terms of teaching
each and different students he/she can adjust to them and also accept them from where they
came from and their own culture.

Second, is that 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.

Third, is that Education and teaching needs pupils and society able to deal with future
challenges which are both of global and local character.

Fourth, is that as a teacher we must “Think globally, act locally”, which means that great
changes start with smaller movements at a local scale. You must focus on your local
environment and your small acts will add up, slowly leading to change in school, then a
neighbourhood, then a community, a city, a state, and so on. This idea has traditionally been
associated with the environment and sustainability.

And then last is that you should be able to understand the interconnectedness of the local
community and you can be able to find the diversity of life in this world.

REFLECTION
When you become a professional teacher in the future, how can you enhance the
state of quality teachers in the Philippines?

Provide Adequate Resources

All teachers need the appropriate tools to do their job effectively. And as a Professional teacher
in the future or as a School leader I must be able to give their teachers the resources they need.
This can be challenging as we currently live in an era where educational funding is a significant
issue. However, in the age of the Internet, there are more tools available to teachers than ever
before.

Provide a Mentor
Great veteran teachers can provide very great insight and encouragement to an inexperienced
or struggling teacher. So if I’m one of those veteran teacher in the future, I will develop veteran
teachers who want to share best practices with other teachers. They must also build a trusting,
encouraging atmosphere in which their entire faculty communicates, collaborates, and shares
with each other.

Provide Meaningful Professional Development

Engaging in professional development can improve teacher quality. It is necessary to note that
there are a lot of terrible professional development opportunities. And as a School leader I
need to look thoroughly at the professional development they are scheduling and determine if
it will produce the intended results.

Establish Ongoing, Open Communication

All school leaders should have an open door policy. They should encourage their teachers to
discuss concerns or to seek advice at any time. They should engage their teachers in ongoing,
dynamic dialogue. This dialogue should be continuous especially for those teachers who need
improvement.

1. How does this proverb relate to CPD? “A much-used plow shines; stagnant
waters sink”

If we were to use it for people who are always happy to just stay on what they think
they can only do, without accepting their other potentials for growing and developing as
an individual, this would mean that they should not. They should discontinue being
stagnant for growth because like water that starts to stink once it just stayed still,
people's growth can be hindered too. That mentality will make people hinder their own
growth, thus not giving themselves opportunity to become better, to shine brighter, and
to excel further. Also, Using a plow every so often polishes the metal thus making it
shine, whereas stagnant water stays on its place for a long time thus incubating bad
bacteria. This proverb relates to Continuing Professional Development because the
professionals still receive training even after their graduation. The training has a
corresponding number of units like subjects in school. The Continuing Professional
Development is regulated by the Professional Regulation Commission to make sure
Filipino professionals of various fields are up to par in their training and are aware of
latest developments in their professions. PRC is also responsible for board examinations
and licensing of professionals in the country.

2. If a caterpillar is meant to become a butterfly and seed to grow into a tree

that gives shelter or bears fruit, whatever is its nature, what is a
professional meant to become?

First of all, a caterpillar at first a ugly worm, but after undergoing metamorphosis a ugly
worm becomes a beautiful butterfly, it makes a big change. Next a seed that has a
similarity to the caterpillar, a seed that seems to have nothing can bring some benefits
when it grows up at the beginning. The professional is therefore the same as the seed
and caterpillar in which he undergoes processes. Apprentice-to-professional, learner is
studying, applying what he / she has learned until he / she becomes a teacher. Teacher
is the product of being a passionate student, but there it doesn't end or stop. Teachers
need to to learn by continuing their master's and doctoral studies to become a
professional teacher. Professionals practice good self-regulation. They are polite and
respectful to the people around them. They show a high degree of emotional
intelligence, and are careful to consider the emotions and needs of others. And teachers
are the one who mold and prepare the students to become the next teacher and
student in the future. To produce more professional, professional people are meant to
passion and share knowledge.

ASSESSMENT:

Quiz: Formulate your own philosophy

My Philosophy in Teaching
I believe that a Good Teacher

 first, has a powerful faith in the future.

 knows and understands students, how they develop and learn.
 must also understand motivation and the effects of peer interactions on learning.
 knows to create a classroom atmosphere that is welcoming and accessible
 must know her subjects and how to help students learn those subjects.
 cannot begin or continue to inspire learning without being a learner.
 knows the power of questions and questioning strategies to cause thinking.
 is the most powerful of role models.
 Is dedicated to learning and lives to serve.

I believe that a good relationship between a middle or high school teacher and her
students is built on a strong foundation of mutual understanding, respect, and trust.
In order to effectively assess students’ wants and needs, the teacher must first
understand her students and where they’re coming from.

I believe that in order to foster learning in the best way possible, the teacher needs to
be enthusiastic about the material being studied, even when her students aren’t. She
needs to be the coach and cheerleader for the class, and point out the positives about
each student’s work in a sincere way, alongside constructive criticism. She must be
open to diversity and a wide range of opinions and ideas, and must set classroom
standards so that the students can respect and trust one another.
REFLECTION:
Why is necessary to have your own philosophy of education?

For us to be aware
It’s important to have one because that suggests that you are at least aware of your
approach. Everyone will have an underlying philosophical approach but many won’t
necessarily have given thought to what it is.

To cultivate the whole of the human being

A good education should help us to live well by teaching us how to deal with our
emotions, how to build relationships and how to live well. We need to start thinking
about cultivating the whole of the human being, not just filling students' memories with
facts and information.

Encourage independent thinking and self sufficiency

A teacher has done his job properly when the student no longer needs him/her.
Students should be shown how to look at questions and issues from multiple
perspectives in order to form their own view independently, rather than how to ingest
and regurgitate the opinions of others without consideration.

See schools and communities as part of a holistic system

Whether a school is public or private, urban or rural, large or small, there are three
interdependent systems at place the classroom, the school and the community
(including parents). These systems all interact with each other in ways that can be hard
to see, but they shape the priorities of the educational system. Sustainable change will
only be made by addressing all three of these different levels and the relationships
between the different people in them students, teachers, parents and administrators.

To Avoid Being Judgemental

Philosophy of education also teaches a teacher the concept of not prejudicing the
personality of each student. Remember that you need to consider all students equal.
But, this should not affect the unique potential and capabilities of each student.
 MODULE 10

EXERCISE:
Q and A Why do you think teaching is the noblest profession?

Teaching is the Noblest Profession which shapes the character, ability, and future of an
individual. Teaching is the ability of the teachers to impart knowledge, skills and their
experiences to their disciples. Teachers are selfless, always ready to go to any extent to help
their students. It gives a great feel of self-satisfaction to a teacher when they see their students
achieve in life. Teaching, therefore, is considered as a means for which God uses a teacher as an
instrument to touch lives. So teaching is a profession that provides an art of living. It is not only
a duty but a moral duty. It is not a profession but a noble service to the world to create a more
beautiful and peaceful world. Another important thing about the profession of teaching is that
it enlightens both sides of the teacher as well as the student. In this noble profession not only
the students learn but the teacher also learns the lessons of life from the innocent students
also. So it is beneficial to both of the sides. Teaching is not just a job. It is more than a job. It is a
mission to carry out.

REFLECTION:
Make your own quotation related to teaching as the noblest profession.

‘Teaching is not just a job. It is huge responsibility and daily commitment you are
willing to make.’
