To become a good teacher, I will use my desirable qualities, to enhance it and

and feelings of the learners.
B. How does the experienced teacher; utilize his/her personal qualities to make
him/her a good teacher? Write in at least two (2) paragraphs.

attitude of being a strict and a terror-like, the students become behave and attentive
to the class. Because most of the time he let her students participate in class by
calling their names to read or share their own understanding in their lesson.
A teacher can easily develop honesty and sincerity by modeling. She is a
sticker to the truth in her words and actions. She is genuinely straightforward and
helps wholeheartedly. Easily, she could make teaching a pleasant, satisfying and
enriching experience that could transform to a lasting learning. To be an open-
minded teacher she must have a respect for the opinions and ideas expressed by
students open avenues for unrestricted search of information and evidence. They
are encouraged to resolve issues and problems in democratic way.

My Learning Portfolio
Pieces of Evidence:
1. Picture of self and descriptions of personal qualities in a Photo-essay and
Reflections.

To be a good student teacher you have to

posses some of the qualities that can reflect you to
be a good teacher someday. As I reflect on my
personal qualities, I can use my personal
qualitiesin some ways. I am being more open to
criticism.
It is nice to be a good teacher, however I
want to be a best teacher to achieve this . I should helpmy future students to think
out the answer for themselves. A teacher who know how to be queit and patient
while her students struggle to formulate their own thinking. A teacher that knows the
responsibility, honest as a good citizen that can’t be taught in a certain cause
because qualities are communicated through daily actions not daily lectures.

My Reflections/Insights

1. Have you discovered your dominant Philosophy of Education? How do you feel
after knowing it? Is your philosophy or firm belief of education reflected in what you
are doing as a future teacher?

My dominant Philosophy of Education is __BEHAVIORISM____________

The practices that I do as a student and future teacher that reflect my philosophy
are: (describe in sentences)
As a student teacher, I am very particular about the rules and regulations in
school. I am aware of the behaviors that are acceptable in the society I belong. For
me, for every action there is equal reaction. What you have done to others will bring
back to you.

The practices that I will do, that will reflect my Philosophy of Education will be:
(describe in sentences)
I will be more sensitive about the behavior of my students. I will consider their
differences as a person as well as their environment they lived in that surely affects
their own behavior. I will set rules and regulations that can truly discipline the
students.

2. In your observations, does an experienced teacher practice what they believe in

(philosophy of education) in actual teaching? If yes, describe the instance/episode. If
No, what could be the reason?
It’s definitely yes, the experienced teacher practiced what she believed in
Progressivism in actual teaching. She believed that develop lifelong learners should
be a learner centered. Based on what I observed she truly exercise the learner-
centered approach. She let her students think and discover the answer by
themselves. She didn’t allow them to be dependent on whatever she says. She
always gives an exercise to let them practiced and share their thoughts about the
lesson.
