7. What interesting observations can you spot from the other data not asked?
Each and every teacher is different in personal qualities and attributes they are unique individuals.
Use the information from your personal results and those of the ten teachers in making your reflections that follow.
My Reflections:
1. Why are some teachersreportedtohave bumpedalearner’sheadonthe wall or made a child swallow scratch paper
or pencil filings? What attribute do you think is low for this teacher?
I thinkemotionalstability is an attribute that has a heavy bearing on a teacher professionally, emotions can come from
different sources either at home or in school or even on a personal social setting. A person can only take on too much
stress that a reaction to certain acts can be acted upon with violent or harsh response. It may be true that as a
professional teacher we may exercise restraint but when those emotions go out all the way, the collateral damage is
someone under authority.
2. Why do you think some teachers are better loved by students than others? I think that teachers are loved because
they are closest to home,they poseassecond parentsand attimes the one thatcomfortsthestudentlearners in times of
grief,teachers word s can be a reassurance that something is and will come up for the better because they the teachers
alwaysteach the studentslearnersthatthe futureis brightand we havethe all the time in the world to makea change in
the student learners lives for upliftment and development. The teacher becomes the light in the darkness.
3. If you were to choose, which personal attributes should all teachers possess? Why? I think all teachers should have
compassion. Compassion for the profession and compassion for the student learners because without compassion I
would notuse my intelligence to teach and sharemy knowledge,Iwould notpractice restraint to be emotionally stable, I
would not be resourceful enough to have an objective and a goal, I would not be motivated to come to school early
before my students, I will not be well-groomed and refined in coming to class because if you like me fine, if you don’t, I
will still receive my salary ,I come to class with confidence so that my self-appreciation rubs on you, I come with good
vibes so you can be too. I want my students to rely on me because I am about to offer them the future.
My Affirmed Concept:
After reflecting on this episode and recalling my previous subjects, I have realized that there are several
conceptsinthe teachingprofessionaboutpersonalattributesIlearnedthathasbeenaffirmedandconfirmed;examples

Legend: S – Self T1 - Teacher1 T2 - Teacher2
Among the three of you, who is more inclined to be an essentialist, perennialist, progressivist, existentialist or
behaviorist?
Among us three, I am more inclined to be an existentialist, essentialist, and behaviorist. Teacher 1 tends to be more
inclined to be essentialist. Teacher 2 is more inclined to be a perennialist, progressivist, and behaviorist.
My Observations:
1. Observedactionsof a teacherwhoisa progressivist: The progrssivist teacher is more inclined to critical thinking and
allowsherstudentsto be critical thinkers and initiate plans to improve learning. She encourages her students to carry
out theirprojectswiththeirowninitiative and plans. She allows the holistic development approach to learning that is
teacher 1.
2. Observedactionsof a teacherwhoisa behaviorist: The behaviorist teacher rewards positive behavior in class, gives
praisesonpositive workandencouragesparticipation by the students during class activities. He is focused on positive
behavior that show learning.
My Reflections:
Based on your concrete experience and the actions of the teacher you have observed, how important is your
philosophyof educationtoyourfuture careeras a teacher?How wouldyourexperiencesandobservationscontribute to
your becoming a teacher?
As a teacher in the near future, the positive impact on me about the teachers is that encouragement and positive
behavioris best be rewarded and noticed and praised. I think that this will boost confidence and appeasement to the

student learners self appreciation. It is encourage able that the simple rewards can develop student learne r to grow
emotionally.
My philosophyinteachingisthat“I believe thatteachingisthe foundationinall learning.Ialso believe that the student
surpasses the master.
My goal is to teach in a way that it should make a difference in a student’s life. I want to teach where I can connect to
studentssothat these studentsare aresponsiblecitizenthatispart of a community.Iwantmylearningenvironment be
competent and professional aspiring for excellence, integrity and the truth.
It ismy hope that the studentsIwill teachinthe future will have enoughknowledge and tools to survive life, aspire for
self-happiness and be men for others.”

My Affirmed Concept:
Identifyatleastthree conceptslearnedinyourprevioussubjectlike The Teaching Profession which are related
to the Experiential Learning Episode 3 (Teaching Belief/Philosophy) that are confirmed or affirmed in this activity?
Enumerate.
1. Affirmed Concept 1
Everyteacherhas a veryunique philosophytofollow,theseare influencedjustbythe same criterion,the reason
whywe teach and undergorigoroustrainingandemotional stabilityexercises,asateacherwe are influenced by
our backgrounds,personalities,preferences, beliefs, religious orientation, the community around us. Like the
student,learnersthe teachersare adiverse flock that individually follows their distinct teaching philosophies.
Each one is unique.
The teachers’ philosophiesadapttothe environment the teacher is teaching in. The diverse background of the
studentlearnersare integratedintothe programof the learning experience so that they can relate and a set of
standard or base is formulated based on their capacity and capability to comprehend a learning experience.
Everyteacherappliesthe more effective, efficient, simple and direct teaching, style and method to assess the
childat theircompetencylevels. The teachers’ technique is relatively a unique one is honed as skill overtime.
The teacher allows the theories and methodologies of teaching education into something new, something
her/hisownstyle.Anadaptationof the knownteachingmethodsbeingapplied,avariationof all known styles a
teacher can grasp to reach to student learners in her classroom.
Using the first hand experiences in this activity, how will I use these when I become a teacher in the future?
A. In teaching and learning as a teacher the need to consider needs of the student learners should be top priority in
relation to coming up withthe learning environmentthata teacherwill provide,theenvironmentshould bein such a way
that student learners should be able to comprehend what is being taught.
B. In addressing diversity of learners as a teacher the need to address the diversity of students is to integrate the best
effective method or tool to apply to these student learners. Usually the most effective way is the simplest and most

effective teaching style to use. The teaching philosophy should cater to different groups of learners in the school the
teacher teaches in.
C. In creatinga conducive learningenvironment, safety should bethepriority concern. Nextfollow what is needed by the
student learners in learning and what is actually being taught, the materials needed, it should also include the capacity
and ability to comprehend learning of the student learners. Comfort should also be considered, will the student learner
encounter distractions to a learning environment that will disturb their concentration or is the teacher comfortable in
that learning environment, and will the teacher teach at her full capacity?

5. Extra-curricular Activities Regional and District Meets;
My Reflections:
Basedon the teacher’sprogram,yourobservationsandyourinterviews, would you now see teaching to be full
time job? Why? Why not?
I can see it as a fulltime job,I already and set up my mind that being a teacher and choosing the profession demands a
fulltime gig. It is because the time that the paper works demands and the time for teaching the student learners
amounts to a whole day job plus inserting in and adjusting to the student learner diversity and honing my craft as a
teacher it will demand a lot of productive time.
How doyou feel aboutthe teacher’sworkplace?Are the conditions,healthyforthe welfare of both the leaners
and teachers?
It was decentanddesignedtobe alearningworkplace,conducive tobothlearnersandteachers.Securityof bothparties
is placed in clearly. The environment is peaceful and quiet; the surroundings are clean and pleasant. Learning at this
school environment is utmost very ideal.
Do you find the relationships of the teachers and the learners pleasant? Explain your answer.
He teacher co-league relationship was cordial and professional, I did not sense the vibe of negativity nor did I feel
awkwardnesswhenteachersgatheraround.The interrelationship amongst the staff and the teachers and the students
are orderedandorganized.People know where andwhattheirplace inthe organizationchartisat. Theywere friends at
most of the time I observed.
My Affirmed Concepts:
My previous learning in the content courses that were confirmed by this learning episode is the following:
1. That……..as a teacherI needto be vigilanttomyactionsas to not to offendanyone either my colleagues or students,
superiors. I understand that being cooperative is a teachers’ trait.
2. That………as a teacher I should have compassion to the learners and to the teaching profession.
3. That………as a teacherI shouldbringina positive vibe toeveryclassroominstructionandtothe entire school member
including the parents and other persons outside of campus.
How can I improve the school that I have observed when I become a teacher?
1. Classroom arrangement, the classroom is okay but needed repainting. New color makes it look new and pleasant
brings in positive vibe together with the surroundings.
2. Bulletin Board display the display is okay but there is always room for improvement.
3. School playground shouldbe safe andfree fromdanger especially when it is small and just too many students prowl
the area.
4. Classroom routines it should be efficient, effective and maximizes time.
5. Teacher Activities every of class they should have picked up something otherwise I need to change tactics.
6. Co-curricular Activities encouragement should be fully introduced and supported with.
7. Extra-curricular Activities encouragement of these activities should be fully supported it is with sports that self
confidence and self disciplined is being developed.

My Observations:
Activity 2- INTERVIEW OF THE SCHOOL TEACHER
In your interview, you may ask your Resource Teacher the following questions:
1. What school activities do you conduct that allow the participation of the people in the barangay?
The one activity that will involve the community is “Brigada Eskwela” and the Bayanihan will involve both parents and
the barangay community residents.
2. Are the community activities that you, as teachers join? Please name. Do your students/pupils also join these
activities?I,in the futurewill encouragemy studentsto join in on community activities like fiesta parades, barangay day
celebrations.
3. What learningdoyour pupils gain from the activity? I think that they as community members will appreciate further
the efforts that their parents and teachers, including the barangay officials to improve the community and by getting
involve they will to be responsible members of society.
4. What doesthe community benefit from joining n your school activities? The future of the barangay depends on the
citizens thatare living in thesaid barangay,if they show to the student learners that they do not care in the future these
future citizens will likely, would not care for it also.
5. As peryour observation,are the lessonsthatyoutaughtin the school transferred to the homes or the community? I
am depending and betting that the current education systems motives and values are for the students learner to
absorbed it in to themselves and apply to the real world.
6. What community resources have you used in your teaching? As a teacher I am encouraging and approach the
barangay help and supportforchildren health and health education. Also, I will see to it that every barangay official will
backschoolactivities, getting them involved becausethesechildren will mirror the typeof community the school and the
community has built in due time.

1. Describe the data that you have gathered from your community survey.

community can dictate standards and basis for learning but the values formation and level of learning that the school
communitycanofferto the studentlearners,the important thing that the community can do is support and back every
community activity that the school is involve in.

staff will be subject to

My Observations:
1. Based onyour personal interviewof the FilipinoTeacheronthe competencies of the national standards for teachers,
has the teacher met the requirements? Explain.
Yes, in terms of years of service, competency level, competency trainings and seminars, competency and professional
ratings, she can pass to be a global teacher.
2. If the NCBTS is the measure of a global teacher, can the teacher you interviewed meet the challenges of global
education? Why? Why not?
Yes, simply put the level of teaching the teacher I interviewed has met the National Standards for Teachers competency
requirements and level of effectiveness and efficiency.
3. Are there similarities or differences among teachers in other countries in terms of the standard requirements of a
professional teacher? Explain your answer.
They differ in terms of Professional Knowledge, Professional Practice and Engagement.
4. WouldFilipinoteachersbe comparabletotheirfellow teachersinothercountries? Explain your answer. Yes, in terms
of culture traits, the Filipino is known to be hardworking, has higher level humility levels and very experienced and
intelligent. Take for example the number of students the public teacher handles from year level to every year is in every
sense a challenge. Even the educational materials like textbooks are outdated and way beyond the current generation
standards, the current education system demands global change and standards that the average schools in the public
sector is not ready for, in materials to be used , in environmental challenges and capacity, likewise the budget for the
schoolbuildingsand salaries of the faculty.Theteacher adaptseasily to these changesbecausethey had no choice but to
answer the call for globalization.
My Reflections:
Indeed,becomingaglobal teacher requirescertainstandards.Asobserved,there are more similar expectations
of teachers, the world over.
As a pre-service teacher education student, how do you see yourself, ten years from now vis a vis the other
teachers from all over the world?
I see myself teaching my specialization to a certain degree as an expert at my field and be able to teach with the
confidence that I met the national standards for efficiency in my field of expertise. That under my teaching, I can show
the learners the possibility of a future wherein they will be able to grasp it in a global scale, an opportunity that
previously wasa dream but with the globalization is possible with dedication and commitment and the more important
the student earner has the passion for it, to be better.
Can you meet challenges of being a global teacher? Yes.

After undergoing this Experiential Learning Episode, what prior learning in the previous courses has been
affirmed?
Identify at least three concepts about a global teacher.
The concepts I have learned before and are affirmed now include the following:
Concept 1: Global teachers are always competitive enough to be able to continually harness their craft and fields of
expertise, continually grow for the better to uplift lives of the learners and the community.
Concept2: Global Teachersare responsible forcurrentknowledgethatare being introduced, a new idea , new learning
methodology,anewteachingapproach,a newwayto approachthe learnerswiththeirever diverse emotional stability
and also for the teachers, their emotional stability as well.
Concept3: Global teachersmustbe able toadapt to differentcultures,religion,customs, beliefs and traditions that can
be wall, blockade to learning.
How would you prepare yourself to become a global teacher?
At this stagemy preparationsarethosethatinvolveembarking on searching for knowledge and experience. Gaining the
right step and the right path will be my first step to become a teacher. Right now my aspirations are to become a
teacher,fromthere, I will moveon to harnessing my craftthrough yearsof experienceand continually seek avenues that
will add my knowledge to the field I have chosen.

EPISODE 6 (THE TEACHER AS A PROFESSIONAL)
My Concrete Experiences:
Finda professional teacher in your neighborhood school. Conduct an interview with the teacher by asking the
following questions:
1. Where did you graduate your degree? When? Xavier University, BS ED 2003
2. How did your University prepare you to become a good teacher?
The universityprovidedme withthe necessarytools and knowledge plus an immersion that would change my point of
view about teaching. I was taught to be a man for others. My aspirations in teaching were to make a difference. My
vision of success is not about material gain but self fulfillment. I may have change along the years but the very
foundation that I hang on to is to be “Men for others.”
3. When did you pass the Licensure Examination for teachers? What was your passing rating? August 2004 86.68%
4. When did you start teaching in the public school? August 2005
5. What makes you happy as a teacher? The greatest joy for me is watching reluctant and distant learners find their
voice,passion,and curiosity.Itthrillsme whenthe "lightbulb"goesonandIknow I have helped electrify the situation.
At the end of the day, it's all about the positive relationships and the powerful learning. That is happiness for me.
6. What disappoints you as a teacher?
I want to address my disappointment with my fellow teachers. I am only referring to what I experience with my own
colleagues and perhaps I should not generalize to teachers in general. Furthermore, my remarks refer only to high
school teachers – I have a feeling that different skill sets may be more important in elementary and High schools. My
disappointmentwithmycolleagueshastodo withtheirlackof love forteachingingeneral.Mythesisisthatyou have to
love your job before you can be a good teacher. I also believe that the reverse is true – all the empathy, teaching
techniques and patience can not make a good teacher, without a DEEP understanding and love of it.
7. What professional development activities/ trainings have you participated in?
Anti-Bullying Seminars, K-12 workshops and seminars the like…
8. Are you a member of a professional organization/ what is the name of the organization?
Professional eLearning Society, Alliance of Concerned Teachers, and National Organization of Professional Teachers.
9. As a professional teacher, what Code of Conduct do you strictly follow? Can you name the specific behavior that
should be followed to the utmost?
“Teachers are duly licensed professionals who possess dignity and reputation with high moral values as well as technical
and professional competence.”
“To enjoy academic freedom and enjoy the privilege that comes with it”. This is one that is my favorite among others
because itexemplifies the right for education even me as a teacher, I have the freedom for growth and development.
10. What kindof teacherwouldyoudreamto become before youretire?Doyouhave a careerpath? Describe whatkind
of professional teacheryouare alongthe timeline presentedbelow:Describe the pointas:BeginningTeacher/Inductee;
Developing Teacher/ Young Professional; Mentor Teacher; Expert teacher/ Sterling

1-3 yearsinservice thiswill be myfirststep into the teaching profession, At this time I will be able to live my passion
and develop more my love for teaching.
4-10 yearsin service atthispointI will be on the road to honing my skill sets and field of specialization by growing and
building enough backyard knowledge that will implore other options for growth.
11-15years in service At this stage, I would be a mentor.
15 years and above years in service at this time I will be an expert teacher, having a field of expertise that is close to
perfect but needs continuous growth for the field because earning is growth and is continuous. The re will always be
other steps much easier than the previous ones.
My Observations:
From the answers given by the teacher you interviewed, is the teacher a professional teacher?
1. Why do youthinkso? Yes. He is a professionalteacher.Because with the knowledge he has acquired he can’t just reel
it in, he has to share that knowledge because there is a need for it plus he personality demands that he talks about it.
And when he teaches he has that glow and enthusiasm that he loves teaching and that it has become he’s life already.
He had fallen in love with teaching. He is high when he teaches; he teaches with pride and refinement that when he
teaches it becomes aspiring.
2. Why don’t you think so?
Can you find other teachers who are professional teachers among the teachers whom you know? Yes.
What characteristics or qualities distinguish a professional teacher from a non-professional teacher?
A professional teacher is committed, makes the profession a mission, he has compassion and love for the teaching
profession andhastakena oath andis registeredwiththe Boardforteachers, whilethe non-professional teacher is not
qualified enough to have the proper training and has not passed and or taken an oath as a teacher, he may not have
enough compassion for the profession and love for the job.
My Reflections:
Consideringthatyouwill be afuture professional teacher,whatstandardsshouldyouupholdbasedonthe Code
of Ethics for professional Teachers?
I think all that has been described by law. I think it should all cover the basis to be a professional teacher
Basedon the learningIgainedinmypreviouscoursesonthe professional teacher,thisexperiential learningepisode has
affirmed concepts that:
1. Professional teachers…remain teaching even though nobody recognizes their efforts because it is a mission.
2. Professional teachers…major concern is success and faithfulness.
3. Professional teachers…committed even if it means letting go of other activities.
4. Professional teachers…do teaching for pay and for service because it is a mission and a profession.
5. Professional teachers…fill the school with teachers it becomes a great school.
