Professionalism is succinctly described in Article XI

Section 2. A teacher shall place premium upon self-respect and self-discipline as the principle
of personal behavior in all relationships with others and in all situations.

Section 3. A teacher shall maintain at all times a dignified personality which could serve as model
worthy of emulation by learners, peers, and others.

Section 4. A teacher shall always recognize the Almighty God or being as guide of his own destiny
and of the destinies of men and nations. The Code of Ethics for public school teachers adopted in

Section 7. of Republic Act 4670 cites integrity as one essential trait of a professional teacher.
