teachers is to teach. The teacher’s primary customer is the learner. The
model/framework of effective teaching in the country is the Philippine
Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST).

PROFESSIONALISM as a Person
Professionalism is succinctly described in Article XI of the Code of Ethics
for Professional Teachers, to wit:
Section 1. A teacher shall live with dignity at all times.
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.

essential trait of a professional
teacher.
