The Teacher that I am

Introduction
Course Packet

In this course packet, we will try to observe and reflect on personal

qualities and professional competence of teachers that you have
learned in “The Teaching Profession.” The standards for teacher
quality are especially emphasized in the Philippine Professional
Standards for Teachers and Code of Ethics for Professional
Teachers. You are expected to work with this course packet for 3
hours or one week.

Objective
At the end of this learning packet, you are expected to cite personal
qualities and professional competencies of a teacher that students
possess or still need to develop.

Observation/Participation Guidelines
1. Recall personal qualities and professional competencies of a
02

teacher, as emphasized in the PPST.

2. Here are some possible readings if you wish to refresh your
memory on these qualities and competence:
a. Code of Ethics for Professional
Teachers:

b. PPST:

3. Observe the qualities of your resource teacher which you
believe have made him/her an effective teacher?
4. Reflect which of these qualities and competencies you
already possess. Which of these competencies do you still
need to work on?

Activity Sheet

Another thing that I would like to adopt from my current Resource Teacher in the future whenever I become a
teacher is her ability to intervene when something goes wrong, for instance, a student comes in late or there is
commotion in the class. For example, when a student comes late, she does not simply hush it down – she takes
the student separately, talks to him/her, and lets the student know that there is a consequence for being late
while at the same time comforting them. As a result, this approach does two things, namely addressing the
behavior while affirming the appropriate manner in which one is treated in a classroom.

In case of any academic or disciplinary issue, my Resource Teacher is always composed of him/herself. While she
patiently hears both the presenter’s side of the story and the rest of the students’ opinions, she guides the
students to come up with a consensus. This approach ensures that students are comfortable, and everyone gets
to express themselves. I like how she manages such situations and would like to learn more about how to address
such issues so that the classroom environment can be friendly and productive.
