My Reflections/Insights
_____________________________________________________________
A. How do I use my personal qualities to become a good teacher? Write in at least two (2)
paragraphs.
ANGELYCA JOY TAMAYO

Teaching is one the most demanding of all professions. It exacts a tremendous
demand on the teachers’ teaching skill and personal qualities before they can
satisfactorily perform the multiple roles and manifold responsibilities it entails. At all
times, the practice of teaching calls for a facilitator of learning and nurture the learners.
At other times it needs a leader, administrator and manager. The teachers to be
able to enjoy their tasks with associates automatically feel as a friend, an enthusiastic
colleague and a caring partner. A more serious role, teaching necessarily makes them
decision-makers, instructional materials developers and instant researchers. Add to
these tasks they assume to establish a smooth relationship with parents and other
members of the community.
RONALYN EVANGELIO
To be a good student teacher, you have to possess some of the qualities that
can reflect you to be a good teacher someday. Those qualities are your ammunition in
preparation in the world of teaching career.
As I reflect on my personal qualities, I consider myself as one of the dedicated
student teacher who wants to pursue their dreams and ambition in life. Once you are a
teacher, you have to be dedicated in your profession that even your personal time is
given up. One of my motto in life is “Patience is the great virtue.”
ANDREA NICOLE SERRANO

One of my motto in life is “Patience is the great virtue.” I always applied this
saying in my personal life to motivate me how to be a successful individual someday
especially in the teaching profession. I can use these qualities of mine to become a good
teacher in a way that, I always put in my mind that I should always be patient enough to
handle a crucial situation in the classroom.
Being a good teacher you have to be emotionally stable. You have to learn how
to hold your temper so that you will think positively and create right decisions on how
to handle the situations. A teacher must remain mentally alert and a teacher must be
quick to adopt himself to any situation.
MAY CLAIRE LOZADA

Another qualities of mine that I considered to be a good teacher is my passion
13
on everything what I’m doing. Passion on teaching is one of the key on how to be a good
Page
teacher. Passion as associated with teaching denotes a teacher’s strong feeling,

enthusiasm and intense love for this magnanimous profession. A teacher’s desire,
emotion and fervor for such chosen vocation is manifested in her daily teaching chores,
duties and responsibilities.
As a good teacher, you have to be very passionate in teaching because you will
never be a good teacher if you do not love what you are doing. You have to enjoy every
challenge that comes into your way. And a good teacher should always open to
criticism; either it is negative or positive.
ELLA MAE TUARIO

Everyone who deserves to be called a professional teacher has made one of the
most important dreams of a lifetime come true – that of becoming a teacher. Every
teacher could cite compelling reasons for pursuing this self-fulfilling career. To continue
nourishing such passion for teaching she evokes a stronger pledge and determination to
keep on despite perceived difficulties on the way.
Those who continue to stay, driven by unending commitment and loyalty to the
profession and to the nation, deserve to receive the highest accolade and
commendation for life. A famous saying goes, “Once a teacher, always a teacher.”
PRECIOS LYNETTE SOLIS

If you are a flexible person, that is a great quality to bring to teaching. No
matter how well we plan, things always happen to throw off our plans, and a flexible
teacher can deal with this more easily. We might be interrupted with announcements or
have a day when half the class is missing and the group project planned cannot possibly
work. A good teacher deals with these things and stays unruffled and in control.
I am also a very curious person, and this, too, I think, has made me a good
teacher. I am curious about my students, who they are, what they believe, what
knowledge they have that I don't have. My curiosity is also what makes me
knowledgeable in my content areas and sometimes even beyond my content areas. It
makes me a lifelong learner, which every teacher really should be.
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.
ANGELYCA JOY TAMAYO
The teacher occupies the center stage in a learning environment. She shines in a
number of roles – teaching, managing, leading and facilitating and more importantly motivating
and inspiring children. No single teacher is proficient in all, since one may be good in managing
but not as capable in other chores.
The teacher brings forth into the teaching profession a wealth of knowledge and skills,
complimented by her set of values and attitudes. A teacher possessing this attributes merits the
high esteems of everyone.
RONALYN EVANGELIO
14
Page
The qualities of a teacher that make him/her a good teacher is the desirable teaching
attributes like caring attitude, enthusiasm, humor and warmth, honesty and Sincerity, Open-
mindedness, Fairness and Impartiality.
A caring attitude is expressed through a thorough understanding of how the student
feel and react. A teacher who cares is ready to spend time with her students and listen to their
stories of successes and failures, help them with difficult task and consistently provide a
supportive and safe learning environment.

A teacher is willing to share resources to those in dire need and knowledge to the less
capable. A strong feeling of togetherness is essential if her goal is to arouse and sustain their
natural motivation and desire to learn.
There is nothing that can influence and inspire children to “move and follow other than
teacher’s spontaneous enthusiasm and energy. A smile evokes a pleasant feeling. Wit and
humor set a good mood and spirit among children. It can soothe their feelings momentarily. It
therefore is not surprising if a teacher with a happy mix of these traits can make every learning
event something to look forward to with eagerness and fun. The rapport she creates can be
matched by a lively and friendly atmosphere, conducive to animated discussions of the lesson.
MAY CLAIRE LOZADA

A teacher can easily develop honesty and sincerity by modeling. She is a stickler to truth
in her words and actions. She is genuinely straightforward and offers assistance 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 student’s open avenues for unrestricted search of information and evidence. They
are encouraged to resolve issues and problems in a democratic way.
ELLA MAE TUARIO

Learning becomes an insightful experience for them based on an exhaustive
consideration of other individuals’ findings and explanations. Such brings about an ideal
teaching situation, wherein they develop the same attitude and disposition.
Another qualities of a teacher are the fairness and impartiality. A teacher who treats all
her students in a fair and just manner can easily win their respect and cordiality. Being impartial
and unbiased in judging their works and study habits will instill a positive feeling and willingness
to participate in class undertakings.
Students are sensitive to discriminations, such that preferential treatment can result to
negative responses and indifference. Objective suggestions are easily accepted and gratefully
acknowledge. It inculcates self-confidence and a friendly attitude among students.

Teachers can capitalize on their personal qualities by making connections between
15
those qualities and areas where they will be most useful in their teaching.
For example, a teacher who is thoughtful and witty may be able to influence students to
Page
think before they speak, reflect on their selves and surroundings, and formulate their thoughts
depending on the situation. This would likely come through subconscious modeling, much like
students might sometimes unknowingly imitate their teacher’s vocabulary or syntax after
enough exposure.

“MY PERSONAL QUALITIES AS A STUDENT TEACHER”
ANGELYCA JOY TAMAYO
Being a student teacher, I have so many experiences in the field that sometimes I can
ask myself if I will truly finish my studies and pursue my teaching profession. I also ask myself if I
have already possessed such qualities on how to be a good teacher someday. Those kind of
question are always trigger on my mind every time I am on the field.
But on the other hand, I find myself already answered those question of mine. And it’s a
big YES. Yes, I will continue my studies to become a successful teacher someday. No matter how
difficult it is or no matter how hard the challenges it may be.
To be a good student teacher, you have to possess some of the qualities that can reflect
you to be a good teacher someday. As I reflect on my personal qualities as a student teacher, I
can use my personal qualities in some ways. I read all the materials they’ve been given about
teaching prior to entering the classroom. I am being more open to criticism. I do my background
research to find out about the school in advance. I make only 5 to 6 set rules. I talk to the
teacher who is responsible for overseeing what I’m doing. I stay natural. I move around. I
respect the students as well as the teachers and also my fellow student teacher.
My personal qualities can reflect myself for who I am. Being a married woman and a
mother as well as a student, it is not an easy task to do a job at the same time. But I learned how
to manage my precious time for my family and for my studies. I do not want my time wasted in
some activities that does not really important.
It is nice to be a good teacher, however be not content because you can be more than if
you wish to. I can tell to myself, that, if I can be a good teacher then surely I can be “one of the
best teachers. The best teacher that can help the students to think out the answer for
themselves, a teacher who know how to be quiet and patient while his students struggle to
formulate their own thoughts in to their own words. A teacher who respect the feelings of his
students that they are naturally more important than a silly old subject, a teacher who know
that responsibility, honesty and good citizenship cannot be taught in a course because such
25
qualities are communicated through daily actions not daily lectures. I hope someday when I
Page
truly become a license teacher, I will possess those qualities of a teacher.

An excellent teacher is not just someone who explains. Not someone who just
demonstrates. An excellent teacher is someone who inspires. An excellent teacher goes the extra
mile. They can take any individual and make them believe, truly believe, that their hopes and dreams
are within their reach. An excellent teacher will not let a student walk away until every question is fully
explained and completely understood, no matter how long it may take. If the day ends and the student
still have not understood the lesson plan, an extraordinary teacher would brainstorm. He or she would
think, “How can I explain this concept to the student so that he or she can better understand it?” I
intend on being that type of teacher.
The chance to inspire another human being is not an opportunity it’s a challenge. There are too
many educators that haven’t accepted this challenge, and it needs to change. Students go to school
because they are forced to. Many times learning is not their top priority, but the teacher’s job is to
teach. Students are always learning. Unfortunately, it just may not be what the teacher is teaching.
Since this is the case, a teacher must not only know his or her content area, they must also be prepared
to teach other “things”. Things, such as character, morals, etc., which may prove to be more valuable
than knowledge itself. This is the reason I want to become a teacher…. I want to inspire the children
who will represent the future of our great nation.

Teaching is a challenging task. One shall perform his duty with the highest degree of excellence,
professionalism, intelligence, skill, and with utmost devotion and dedication to ensure the quality of
education. It is also the noblest profession. A teacher carries numerous responsibilities. Her task is not
just simply delivering the lesson inside the four corners of the classroom but rather serves as the
second parent of the students and therefore loves and cares for her students like her real children. A
guidance counselor, that whenever her students commit mistakes, a teacher makes the students realize
their wrongdoings. Sometimes, she even serves as charity worker to her students, when she meets
students who are less fortunate in terms of living, students who would go to school without taking their
breakfast, without baon, without fare, but still persistent in finishing studies . With this kind of student,
a teacher could never close her eyes but would willingly extend help. The only reward a teacher hopes
or expects from these students is for them to finish studies and more-to be able to get a good job and
earn a living on their own in the future.
It is said that all professionals with different fields of studies came from the hands of a very
simple mentor...with these thoughts in my mind and despite the fact that being a teacher is very taxing;
still, I am proud of being one.
As an educator, I strongly believe that nurturing and nourishing all students must be my utmost
concern. I dream of students whose fullest potentials are developed to make them become responsible
citizens. They must be properly taught to read, write and speak both English and Filipino. They must use
these languages as an avenue for self-improvement and community building. They must know how to
process ideas, compute numbers, solve problems, apply concepts, and make decisions for themselves to
make them empowered learners. They must be students who are always hungry for knowledge, seeking
truths and facts of life for them to give meaning for their existence. They must be valued as persons
whose ideas, thoughts, perceptions, views and beliefs are essential for him and for others. They must be
immersed to the complexities and realities of life so that they would be able to survive and continue
living and valuing life. They must be regarded as God’s precious gift whose life is essential for his school,
family and community. I can only do these, by making them the heart of the operation of the school
where the program and projects are students-centered.
28
Page
My choice to become a teacher was not made lightly. This decision was a culmination of a
process of reflection about what I wanted to do with my life. I have chosen a career in education
because I believe that it is one of the most important functions performed in our culture. I believe that
teachers individually and collectively have the ability to not only change the world, but to improve
it. Within the process of teaching, I hope to find both personal and professional renewal. I want to be a
part of a noble profession with the hope of one day being counted among those in whom future
teachers find inspiration.
Many of the great teachers that I have had throughout my education have become my heroes
and role models. I began to understand in high school and college that great teachers have skills that I
wanted to learn. I want to follow their examples. I remember that great teachers were good at
explaining content, were patient yet firm with students, were always fair, set high expectations, knew
how to motivate, and used humor appropriately. They were great communicators who had a command
of their subject matter content. This is the type of teacher that I intend to become. However, I
understand that my personal teaching style will evolve as I draw on my own strengths, knowledge, skills,
values, and experiences.
I want children to learn in a safe and comfortable environment so that their self-esteem will be
increased. A high self-esteem will enable them to strive for and accomplish any goals they set for
themselves. As a teacher, I will play a part in helping them to do that. I will have the privilege of shaping
future parents and productive members of society. For all of these reasons, I ask myself, what better job
could there be. My answer is none because teaching is more than a job. It is an important contribution I
can make to better our society, and I am excited about the opportunity to do so.
Why do I want to become a teacher? A teacher has the direct opportunity to make a difference, to
change the future. I have been told that I am an idealist. I want the best for everyone. I will set high
goals as a teacher and do my best to show each and every student that these goals are within their
reach. I will expect every one of my students to want to learn and more importantly to understand. I
want to make my students wonder; make them question; make them think critically; make them write;
make them read, read, read.

PERSONAL QUALITIES OF AN EXPERIENCED TEACHER: A PERSONAL ENCOUNTER
Mrs. Analyn Calixtro
“A WELL-ROUNDED TEACHER”
Teachers need to first become well rounded people in order to become more effective
professionals. Everybody thinks should know their subject very well, but sometimes, this is not
enough? Teachers should have some characteristics that identify them as a person. It is
important to be aware that as teacher, she plays some important roles in order to be more than
traditional teacher.
Mrs. Analyn Calixro is a TLE major in cookery teacher at Suma-ag National High School.
The years of her service, made her a great professional teacher. Her profound love and passion
in teaching made her to be a well-rounded teacher. She is one of the best teachers I’ve ever
known. She executes her lesson very well and giving equal opportunities to the student to
answer every question she passed on to the students. She has a very friendly attitude to her
class, that’s why her students respect her so much. She is one of a kind teacher. Her ability to
empathize and understand how children cope with problems and difficulties is well appreciated
and gratefully acknowledge. She is willing to share time, effort and resources unselfishly. Her
gentle touch can soothe a child’s sufferings. Her sincere concern for them to learn makes them
strive hard to improve and grow.
She interacts with the child (physically and mentally). She gives affection to the pupils,
makes them understand what emotion is. She smiles to his/her pupils even when they screw up.
She teaches not only text books materials but also the truth that’s happening outside. Practiced
balanced theory. She dedicates herself to the job. She made a commitment. And she has to do
it. She understands that a child is not only a tiny bundle of joy that can cry, smile, and laugh. She
understands that in front of her stands a true miracle of life. She is interested in his own
subjects and at the same time open-minded for others and other topics. She has to be strict,
self-confident and show authority, but at the same time he has to be the pupils, “helper” and
30
quite often even something like their friend who can they talk to if problems occur.

OF EDUCATION
EPISODE 2

____________________________________________________________________
What is your philosophy about school and education? Since you will become a
teacher, you must have a clear understanding of your strong belief or philosophy of
education. A philosophy will guide your actions in teaching and learning. This section will
cover some of the fundamental educational philosophies that will help you as future

Existentialism, Behaviorism, Linguistic Philosophy and Constructivism.

_______________________________________________________________________
 Identify one’s philosophy of teaching and education.

As a teacher, one should have a philosophy of education, a philosophy is a strong

belief that is translated into action. A philosophy will guide you on what you teach, how
you teach, why you teach among others. The different schools of thought or philosophies
were handed down to us by different philosophers. But as the world progresses, other
philosophies emerged.

She believes that, students could learn by discovering.
2. She creates ongoing projects. The ongoing project plays an essential role in promoting mastery.
She believes that, the key to ongoing projects is to provide plenty of project choices that enable
students to demonstrate what they are learning. Many objectives or standards can be met in
one well-crafted project that allows students to decide what the final product looks like. The
ongoing project stimulates the workshop environment that is the foundation upon which the
student-centered classroom is built.

1. Have you discovered your 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, I am very particular about the rules and regulations in school. I am aware of the
behaviors that is acceptable in the society I belong. For me, for every actions there is an equal
reaction. What you have done to others will bring it 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 behaviors of my students. I will consider their differences as
a person as well as their environment they lived in that surely affect their own behavior. I will
set rules and regulations that can truly discipline the children. A rules that did not take
authority but they can see as their mother, their mentor and their friend. Before I set the rules
and regulation in my classroom, I will explain to them the advantages of being a good follower
so that they will reflect on these advantages that would enable them to be a good citizen

2. In your observations, does an experienced teacher practiced what they believe in (philosophy of
education) in actual teaching? If yes, describe the instance/episode. If no, what could be the
reason?
Yes. The experienced teacher practiced what they believe in Progressivism in actual teaching.
The experienced teacher believed that to develop lifelong learners, she should be learner –
centered. Based on my observations, the teacher truly exercises the learner – centered
approach. The teacher let the students to think and discover the answer by themselves. She
did not allow the students to be dependent on what the teacher always says. She always gives
an exercises to the students that will let the students practiced the think, pair and share.

Observation of the Teacher and the Responses
Name of Teacher: Mrs. Analyn Calixtro Dominant Philosophy: Progressivism
Observations: Write at least 5 observations in narrative form that shows the application of the
dominant philosophy of the Teacher.
 She let the student’s answered by themselves. She set herself as a facilitator of the
students. She believes that, students could learn by discovering.
 She creates ongoing projects. The ongoing project plays an essential role in promoting
mastery. She believes that, the key to ongoing projects is to provide plenty of project
choices that enable students to demonstrate what they are learning. Many objectives
or standards can be met in one well-crafted project that allows students to decide
what the final product looks like. The ongoing project stimulates the workshop
environment that is the foundation upon which the student-centered classroom is
built.
 She integrates technology.
 She replaces homework with engaging in-class activities.
 She eliminates rules and consequences. She set the tone from the first day of the
school year by eliminating all discussion of rules and consequences. She explained that
the learning environment is built on mutual respect and a quest for knowledge, so
there won’t be time for any behavior issues. Keep activities engaging, and behavior will
never be an issue.
 She involves students in evaluation. She involved students in conversations about their
learning not only builds trust, but also helps them become critics of their own work,
which is a remarkable part of the amazing student-centered classroom.

THE TEACHER IN A SCHOOL
LEARNING
SETTING
EPISODE 3

____________________________________________________________________
A teacher as a professional will always be found in a school setting. A teacher’s
official working place is a school. A school is an institution where learning occurs under
the guidance of a professional called the teacher.
How does a teacher operate or function in a school setting? How will a teacher
manage the learning environment in the school setting?

_______________________________________________________________________
 List the activities in the daily routine of the teacher

 Identify the teacher’s role in creating a conducive learning environment in the
school
_____________________________________________________________
A regular school day is equivalent to 8 hours. It begins at 8: 00 in the morning and

ends up at 5:00 in the afternoon. Adjustments are sometimes made, but the time spent in
school is 8 hours. Majority (of the eight hours) is spent guiding the leaners in their lessons,
which is called the contact period. Usually, the teacher is assigned to teach 6 hours. The
remaining time of 2 hours is spent for co-curricular and extra-curricular activities. Normally
there are five school days per week, Monday to Friday.
Usually, a teacher is assigned to one class, as a class adviser. She is made to teach one
or more subject content areas depending on the population of the school and the number of
teachers. There are schools where the teacher teaches all subjects for the whole class while
68
in the bigger schools they have subject area specialists, who teach the same subject in the
same grade level or different grade levels.

Ares of Focus for Observation My Observations ( Describe clearly as you can)

in the School Setting
Physical Setting
1. Classroom Classroom arrangements are the usual arrangement.
Arrangement Chairs/tables are arranged in two main groups producing an
aisle in the center.
2. Bulletin Board Display There are many bulletin boards inside and outside the
classroom which are intended for general audiences.
3. School Playground There’s no well-defined playground in that school but there
is a wide oval and court for the students to play.
4. Learning Resource One main learning resource center in the school that I
Center observed is the Library. The Library is very conducive for
studying.
Socio-Psychological Setting
1. Class schedules The class observes a regular routine every day. They clean
the room and the surrounding area in the morning followed
by a normal schedule of classes then another classroom
cleaning before leaving the class.
2. Teachers’ Activities The teacher gives appropriate learning activities to her
students. Also, she did not stop in there, in addition, she
connects the students learning to the real-world context.
3. Learners’ Activities The learners show enthusiasm in performing their parts.
They actively engage on what the teacher tells them on what
to do.
4. Co-curricular Activities The teacher enhances the academic performance of the

students supported with values applicable for daily living.
5. Extracurricular Students were engaged and exposed to different activities in

Activities which their main purpose is to enhance and develop their
skills and foster self-confidence.

My Reflections/Insights Angelyca Joy Tamayo
Based on the teachers program, your observations, answer the following:

1. Would you consider teaching to be full time job? Why? Why not?
Consider teaching as a full time job, it is because this requires for the te ac he r to b e
co m m itte d o n th e jo b. Co m m itm e nt is t he m o st im po r ta nt i de al to become a
good teacher. Teaching is exciting yet a very difficult profession. A teacher m u s t k n o w
how to handle his/her students that has different behaviors and
characteristics. A teacher must also be flexible at all time. He/she must know to solve from
the least to major problems at different situation. And a teacher must become patient
all the time
2. Are the conditions in the classroom conducive to the welfare of both the learners and
teacher? How will you improve it?
In the classroom that I had observed, the students were so wild and noisy even a teacher is
around, maybe because they were not disciplined well. I would say that the condition on
that classroom is not conducive to the welfare of both the learners and teacher. To
improve this situation, the teacher must know first how to discipline his/her student. He/ she
m ust be loo k respectful, intelligent and approachable. Also , the learning must
not only be given through discussions but also through group activities. Through these, there
will be a student-student as well as student-teacher interaction happen.
3. After closely observing the teacher in the school setting, are you motivated to continue
on becoming a teacher? What in the teacher’s practices inspire you to become a
professional teacher?
After observing the teacher in the school setting, I can say that teaching is
really an interesting profession and I was become more motivated to pursue my
degree. Seeing the students enjoyed participating in which you can see on their faces
that they were eager to learn is what inspires me to become a professional teacher. A
teacher that really know every detail of what he/she is going to teach and how she handle and
manage her time well for almost 8hrs a day and 5 days a week is also very inspirable for us the
future teachers.

THE TEACHER IN THE
LEARNING COMMUNITY SETTING
EPISODE 4

______________________________________________________________________________
In the Philippines, the government has built schools in almost all barangays, town or
city. This was done to provide access and equal opportunity for every school child for quality
education. At present, there are more than half a million public school teachers deployed in all
these schools throughout the country. The school and the teacher have a very crucial
responsibility in bringing about change and development in the community n one hand and the
community provides a lot learning opportunities the other hand.
Where else can one find resources that are authentic and are in the context of the
school setting? The COMMUNITY. Who is one significant community person who earnsgreat
respect of the community? The TEACHER.

_______________________________________________________________________
 Identify community resources available for use by the teachers in the school
through a Rapid Appraisal Survey
 Observe how teachers utilize community resources in teaching.
 Collect information on how the teacher is looked upon in the community.
_____________________________________________________________
84
Page
Here are some key points in this episode:
 While the school is the official working place of a Teacher, the community is the
wider learning environment.
 Schools are often perceived be the transformative agent of change; hence the
teachers are agents of change.
 The teachers are looked upon as important agents of change.
 Teacher’s roles and functions do not stop within the four walls of the school, but
extend beyond the community.
 The community provides the authentic resources for teaching and learning.

possess. Now, we need to know, what competencies are required of other teachers from
other countries of the world.
Since we cannot travel physically to other countries, we can reach these places
through the use of the use of modern technology like surfing, Skype, chat, emails through the
World Wide Web, interviews and use of other sources of information.
Choose at least two countries other than the Philippines. Search for the personal
and professional competencies required of the teachers in that particular country. You may also
interview a Filipino teacher who has taught in these countries.
