years.
Acknowledgement
I
am indebted to our Almighty Father who strengthened me to endure all things.
His unending grace and sufficiency in spite of all the time shortage to finish
this kind of work.
To
my family, who has given their full support in making this requirement a true
one! To my sister, who is my helper and patiently encoding items in this
project.
Finishing this project is quite difficult. Time management
is the main ingredient to finish this though.
Chapter 1: You, the Teacher, as a
Person in the Society
Lesson 1: Your Philosophical
Heritage
I have learned in the lesson
philosophical heritage is that we are heirs to a rich philosophical heritage.
Passed on to us are a number of philosophies of various thinkers who lived before
us. These thinkers reflected on life in this planet. They occupied themselves
searching for answers to questions about human existence. I’ve also learned
about the principles that a teacher must have. These are as follows:
Essentialism
This philosophy contends that teachers teach for learners to
acquire basic knowledge, skills and values. Teachers are to transmit the
traditional moral values and intellectual knowledge that the students need to
become model citizens.
Progressivism
Progressivist’s teachers teach to develop learners into
becoming enlightened and intelligent citizens of a democratic society. The
teachers teaches learners so that students may live life fully NOW not to
prepare them for adult life. The progressivist teachers are more concerned with
teaching learners skills to cope with change instead of occupying themselves
with teaching facts or bits of information that are true today but become
obsolete tomorrow.
Perennialism
A prennilist curriculum is a universal one on the view that
all human beings possess the same essential nature. It is a teacher centered
environment. The teachers do not allow the students’ interest or experiences to
substantially dictate what they teach.
Existentialism
This principples main concern is to help students understand
and appreciate themselves as unique individuals who accept complete
responsibility for their thoughts, feelings, and actions. The students here are
given a wide variety of options from which to choose. It is more focus on the
each individual, learning is self-paced and self- directed.
Behaviorism
This type of principle is more concerned with the
modification and shaping of students’ behavior by providing favorable
environment, since they believe that they are a product of their environment.
Teachers here in this principles are ought to arrange environmental conditions
so that students can make responses to stimuli.
Linguistic Philosophy
This principle allows to develop the communication skills of
the learner because the ability to articulate, to voice out the meaning and
values of things that one obtains from his/her experience of life and the world
is the very essence of man.
Constructivism
It aims to develop intrinsically motivated and independent
learners adequately equipped with learning skills for them to be able to
construct knowledge and make meaning of them.
I have realized that a teacher should have at least one
principle s/he can hold on. It is very important for us to have this kind of
principles because this is the backbone of our teaching career. A teacher
without a principle in his/her teaching career is like a wave tossed and driven
in the sea without any direction.
As a future teacher, my principle in my teaching career is
the Existentialism most especially when you are handling primary years. It is
very important that a teacher can impart knowledge to students. The purpose of
existentialism is to help students
understand and appreciate themselves as a unique individual. The teacher’s role
is to guide and help students boost their skills and talents in their own way.
Lesson 2: Formulating your
Philosophy of Education
In this lesson I’ve learned that
your philosophy of education is the window to world and compass in life. The
philosophy you have is your own thought and formulation, never formulated for
you by another that’s why you were advised to begin stating with the phrase “I
believe”. It is also best to state it in the concrete not in the abstract like
a theory because this is your blue print to daily life.
I’ve realized that teaching
philosophy is nothing without the love of the teacher bestowed to his/her
students. Your philosophy in life serves as the guidelines that a teacher will
follow.
As a future teacher, I would like
to make my own philosophy with love instilling in the mind of each student. We,
educators are the vessels of knowledge which students need to learn. Not only
can we impart the knowledge to students but also skills in their life-long
learning and the right attitude towards the learning process.
Lesson 3: The Foundational
Principles of Morality and You
I’ve learned in this lesson the
foundation of morality and what is morality as a model person to our students.
As what Henry Brooks Adams said, “A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell
where his influence stops”. A teacher that is looked forward by the students
should have learned the basic foundation of moral and ethical principles. A
teacher should weigh things out before doing it. A lot of eyes are unto us. We
need to choose wisely.
This lesson helps us to know our
limitation to our students. We served as the model, guardian, second parent,
and a facilitator of learning. In this lesson, we are fully acquainted about
the moral values of being an educator.
I realized that morality is a small
word but has a big impact to our lives.
As a teacher, I should be
considerate enough to my students. Not just strengthening their mental
abilities but also to develop their ethical muscles for them to be a good
citizen within their environment.
Lesson 4: Values
Formation and You
This topic taught us the values
formation based on the premise that there are transcendent values. Values are caught and taught in a manner that
what you talk, you should walk also. Values have three dimensions the
cognitive, affective, and the behavioral dimensions. In the Cognitive
dimension, we must understand that we want to acquire. We need to know why we
have to value such.it is the heart of conversion and values formation. Values
in the affective domain should feel something towards the desired behavior.
Values in the behavioral dimension are living by the values you have learned.
I realized that the values
formation is a training of your intellect and will, your cognitive and rational
appetitive powers. The values formation as a teacher will necessarily include
the three dimensions. As a teacher, we have to grow in knowledge and in wisdom,
in our sensitivity and openness to the variety of value experiences in life. We
have to be open to and attentive in our value lessons.
As a future teacher, values
formation is very important most especially in our workplace. As experienced,
we are to be sensitive in every need of our students. We are to do our work
heartily as to the Lord.
Lesson 5: Teaching as your Vocation,
Mission, and Profession
I can still remember the day when I
enrolled in college. Somebody asked me “Why do you take up education?” and my
answer is “I love children, teaching is my passion”. I am so bombarded. But
later on, in my college life I begun to realize that, god called me to teach
children. He has given me this gift to teach. In teaching children, I find
peace.
At first, I did not like to be
enrolled in such course. I finds it boring. I don’t know why it happens to be
like that. But still I enrolled myself in such course.
Chapter 2
Lesson 1: The National
Competency-Based Teacher Standards NCBTS
The NCBTS is a set of competencies that each teacher
must possess to function effectively and satisfactorily. These are based upon
the core values of Filipino teachers and
on the principles of effective teaching and learning. It has 7 domains that
represent the desired features of the teaching learning process.
I realized that NCBTS helps
teachers to identify learners, understand community and the kind of teachers
around you.
As a future teacher I must
understand the diversity of my students, Implement the curriculum, what’s done
for the week must be planned, assessed and must have feedback.
Lesson 2 - 21st Century
Teacher
I have learned that, the 21stt
Century teacher must have excellent communication skills, learning and have
innovative skills. Fully equipped with information in media and technology and
has life and career skills. 21st century is literate in media,
scientific and economics.
I realized that to be globally
competitive I must equip myself in media, in technology especially now, the
technology is evolving and changing of technology is constant. I must equip
myself in communication.
As a future teacher, I will educate
myself so that I can relay to my students the knowledge, wisdom and
understanding.
Lesson 3: School and Community Relations
I have learned that school and the
community are the mainsprings of effective and powerful forces that can create
a wholesome climate for mutual gains and betterment. A positive affiliation is
an overwhelming bond that all stakeholders are willing to be part of. Parents
are the first teacher in the home. They responsible for the development of the
values, attitudes and habits that will needed as their children associate with
classmates in school. Teacher are just to enrich the students, experience at
home and strengthening the valuable, personal traits and characteristics
initially developed.
I realized the parents is the one
who is in-charge of the growth of their children. It is not the job of the
teacher who will take the first move of the growth of their children. Some
parents are blaming the teacher why their children are not competent enough in
terms behavior.
As a future teacher, I will enrich
experiences of my students. I will let them fell that inside the classroom as a
place for learning and enriching experience.
Lesson 4: Linkage and Networking
with Organization
The school and its community,
collaborating with public and private institutions and organizations are inseparable
if they are to create an impact on the life’s of the students and members of
the community they are committed to serve. The school can enjoy linkages and
networking activities with international, national and local organizations in
the community for mutual benefits and assistance needed.
I realized that, public school
government is not an island. They can ask help from any private sector though
not all materials will be provided but they can provide aid.
As a future teacher, I will be
utilizing the materials enough to cover up the lessons. And I will not hesitate
to ask help from other organizations that will help to enrich the
student’s knowledge and character.
Chapter 3: Lesson 1 Global Education
and the Global teacher
I have learned that teachers should
compete globally would mean to prepare teachers for a challenging lifelong
education needs. Global education is a curriculum that is internationally in
scope which prepares today’s youth around the world to function in one world
environment under teachers who are intellectually, professionally and humanistic
ally prepared.
I realized that, I should be aware
of what the world is asking or needing on the field of education. Education is
a concept that brings us to understand the connectivity of each member citizen
in the planet.
As a future teacher, I have to
learn the diversity or differences in the culture of my student in order to
address the global standard for education. I will acquire skills for the 21st
century teachers so that I will be ready to play a significant role of my 21st
century students.
Lesson 2; A Closer Look on the Education System of Selected
Countries of the Benchmarking
This lesson informed us that
education is universal. From the different educational systems represented, we
can say that the basic education is compulsory on all selected countries
mentioned in this chapter same as in the Philippines. This is a positive
response to global education as represented by the United Nations. Where
kindergarten and Preschool are compulsory also in the Philippines six years in
elementary and another six years in high school, where a student is certified
through a diploma or a certificate of completion. The certificate or diploma is
one of the requirements for entrance to higher or tertiary education which is
available in all countries.
I realized that, Philippines was
left behind, but as Deped implement the New Curriculum the K-12 Curriculum. The
Philippines is UP not only in education but also in teachers.
As a teacher, I should not limit my
capacity in teaching my students.
Lesson 3: Multicultural Diversity: A
Challenge to Global Teachers
Diversity or difference among our
students have placed greater demands to teachers in today’s schools. Students
may differ in race which is commonly indicated by the color of the skin. They
may belong to different ethnic or religious groups and speak different
languages. But how does the teacher accommodate this? A teacher does not have
to go abroad to be able to encounter diversity in the classroom. The issue of
cultural majority-minority in the classroom has posed a challenge to teachers,
where the girls are more than boys, the natives are more than those immigrants,
and the rich are less than the poor and many other divides that greatly
influence how the teacher would accommodate differences and commonalities.
I realized that, teachers has to be
ready of the kind of job they will enter in. Aside from students are diverse
but also co-teachers.
As a future teacher, I will
carefully study the background of my students. From their community, colleagues
and family. So that I may know how to handle them assist their needs and
develop their holistic being.
Lesson 4: Broadening Teaching
Perspective: Teacher Exchange Programs
To be a global teacher, you need
to broaden your teaching perspectives. Expanding experiences beyond the
confines of your classroom to the wider learning environment of the world is
one of the many avenues in order to achieve a level of global competitiveness.
Several programs are herein represented:
1.
Visiting International Faculty Program
2.
VIP Purposes and Beliefs
3.
Inter-African Teacher Exchanges
4.
Canadian Educators Exchange
5.
Global Teacher Millennium Awards.
I realized that, your perspective
as a teacher should be broad. It should not limit of what is enough only, it
should be, reachable and tangible yet attainable.
As a teacher, I should research
about the trend and try to apply if it is applicable. And I should educate
myself as well.
Lesson 5: Bringing the World into
the Classroom through Educational Technology
I have learned that the use of
technology in the classroom has never been underscored then and how. However,
survey data suggest that technology remains poorly integrated into schools,
despite massive acquisition of hardware though some observations indicate that
the most frequent use of computers is for drill-and-skill practice that
supplements existing curricular and instructional practices. Educationists
began exploring the use of technology that supports models of teaching that
emphasize learning and more active involvement.
I realized that technology can
really help in education. It just matter of how to use the technology properly.
As a future teacher, I will explore
all possibilities to respond to the challenges. Technologies can provide
support to teaching in the resolutions of meaningful problems.
Chapter 4: The Professionalization of teaching
Lesson 1: Basic Law on the
Professionalization of Teaching
Laws cited are:
1.1
Presidential Decree No.1006
Providing for the professionalization of the teacher, regulating their
practice in the Philippines and for other purposes.
1.2
Republic Act No.7836
An act to strengthen the regulation and supervision of the practice of
teaching in the Philippines and prescribing a licensure examination for
teachers and other purposes.
1.3
Republic Act No.9293
An act amending certain sections of republic act numbered seventy-eight
hundred and thirty-six (R.A. NO.7836) also known as the Philippine Teachers Professionalization
act of 1994.
The government is asking enough and try to meet the standards of the
employees. In getting well produced one in a certain office can also achieve a
well-trained, expert and a best one.
A teacher in the future should be licensed and should meet the standard
of what the government is asked from the teachers. I should also possess
professionalism towards my student, co-workers and also to the parents.
Chapter 5: Becoming a Professional Teacher
Lesson 1: The Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers
In this book profession is defined as, he/she is
licensed professional who possess dignity and reputation, with high moral
values as well as technical and professional competence. She/he adheres to
observes, and practices a set of ethical and moral principles, standard, and
values. And in this chapter listed are articles of the Code of Ethics for
Professional Teachers. The Scope and Limitation of a teacher, the Teacher and
the State, The Teacher and Community, teacher and the Profession, the teacher
and the teaching community, the teacher and higher authorities in the
Philippines, the School Officials, teachers and other personnel, the teacher and learners, parents,
business, the teacher as a person, Disciplinary Action and the teacher’s
effectivity.
I realized that there were a lot of “to do“ a teacher
is . In his/her relation to the students, parents and in the community.
As a future teacher, I will live according to what chapter is telling me.
I should be a model to my students. Self-discipline and respect must be seen in
me. My behavior in dealing with others and in all situations with God’s help.
Chapter 6: Other Constitution and Teacher-related
Laws
Lesson 1: The 1987 Constitution
This to This
lesson, discuss more about on how to promote and protect the right of all
citizens to quality education at all levels and shall take the appropriate
steps to make such education accessible to all. And this includes, the language and other
essential for development of one’s education such as, Science and technology,
Arts, Culture and Sports.
I realize that, everyone
deserve to be treated well. Each is equal to others, with regards to their
race, ethnicity, gender and status in life.
As a teacher, I should not
deprive my students from their learning. I will give the freedom to learn that
is also attainable and will lead them to be right ensamples to others.
Lesson 2: REPUBLIC ACT NO. 4670
The
Magna Carta for Public School Teachers
This lesson includes the following topics such as, The
Declaration of Policy, Recruitment and Career, hours of work and Remuneration,
health Measures and Injury benefits, Leave and Retirement Benefits, Teachers
Organization and administration and the Enforcement.
I realize
that teachers in Public Schools are well-provided in terms of salary, benefits
and compensation but sometimes it takes time to receive it.
As a teacher,
benefits, salaries and compensation in the Public School teachers can well
provide of the needs of the family of the teacher, but it does not encourage me
to apply in the public school. Salary and Compensation cannot pay nor satisfy
your efforts. Rather, Doing where your heart is and giving your 100% commitment
can be the most satisfying job rendered you’ve ever had.

Lesson 5:
Organizational Structure of the Department of Education Field Offices
The school is
the heart of formal education system where students can strengthen and enrich
their prior knowledge. School is the central source of formal education though
some students can acquire also learning outside the classroom.
School is the
heart of formal education because it is where inter-social relations are shaped
apart from the first community which is the family. It is where principles are
taught other than caught. School is anywhere. It is not limited in the four
walls of a certain institution.
Lesson 6: Excerpts from the Family Code of the Philippines
Cases of child abuse in schools
have been reported in print and broadcast media. These constitute “nutritional
malpractice” and violation of the standards and the Code of Ethics of the
profession. Society demands results in the learning environment just as it
“asks the physician to use his best professional judgment in deciding what
medical regiment to prescribe”.
The next lesson give you the
legal bases for your authority, responsibility and accountability inside or
outside the premises of the school.
There are
Fourteen (14) Act listed in this chapter that explains the cope and boundaries
of parents and teachers. Violations/s committed has corresponding consequence.

As a teacher, I should be careful
in showing care to my students. Careful in a way that can help the development
of a child. Render punishment is not over implementing the consequence because
it can be use against the teacher.
Lesson 8: Excerpts from Republic Act No. 7877

undergoing training, instruction or education. Towards this end, all forms of
sexual harassment in the employment, education to training environment are
hereby declared unlawful.
As a teacher,
with God’s help and sufficiency, I must be a teacher with good moral character
that I will possess not only to my co-worker, to the environment but also being
a model to my students.
Lesson 9:
Excerpts from R. A. 8980 – An Act promulgating a Comprehensive Policy and a
National System for Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD), Providing

schooling.
I realize that,
all children from the year 2015 up to now, children should pass the kindergarten
before proceeding to the elementary level. Where learning materials shall
consist of listening story, small books, big books, experience story, primer
lessons and lesson exemplars.
As a teacher, if
might be assigned in the Kindergarten, my medium of instruction should be fit
to their tongue. My materials should be enough that can help them full grasp
and understand the lesson well.
Lesson 11: UNESCO
The paradigm and conceptual
framework of the 2002 Basic Education Curriculum adapted the UNESCO Commission
on Education for the twenty first Century which proposed that the learning
process should be based on four pillars of education:
§
Learning to know
§
Learning to do
§
Learning to live together
§
Learning to be
UNESCO aims to have education for
all. They provide four major interventions for an Action to meet basic learning
needs are as follows;
§
Institutionalize early childhood care and
development
§
Provide universal quality primary education
§
Eradicate illiteracy
§
Launch continuing education programs for adults
and out-of-school youth
As a teacher, I should be
innovative in relaying the goals and plans of what UNESCO is placed beforehand.
Those objectives and framework must be written on the table of my heart so that
I can help each child towards success.
Lesson 12: First Call for Children
Child/Children means every human
being below the age of 18 years unless, under the law applicable, majority is
attained.
·
The best interest s of the child shall be the
primary consideration.
·
State parties shall take all appropriate
measures to ensure that the child is protected against all forms of
discrimination or punishment on the basis of the status, activities, expressed
against all forms of discrimination or punishment on the basis of the status,
activities, expressed opinions, or beliefs of the child’s parents, legal
guardians, or family members.
·
State parties shall respect the
responsibilities, rights and duties of parents or where applicable, the members
of the extended family or community as provided for by local custom, legal
guardians or other persons legally responsible for the child, appropriate
direction and guidance in the exercise by the rights recognized in the present
convention.
·
Every child has the inherent right to life.
·
The right of the child to freedom of thought,
conscience and religion shall be respected.
·
Both parents have the responsibilities for the
upbringing and development of the child. Parents or, as the case may be, legal
guardians, have the primary responsibility for the upbringing and development
of the child. The best interests of the child will be their basic concern.
My reflection is that, you cannot the child
from his/her rights. You can offer your help, a help for their own good but you
cannot deprive them from living. But sad to say that there are some people who snatched that privileges
to them.
Chapter 7: Historical Perspective of the Philippine
Educational System
Lesson 1: Historical Development of the Philippine
Educational System
Philippine Educational System was
installed in 1901 by the Philippine Commission by virtue of Act No. 74. The
development of Philippine Educational System was started from the Thomasites.
600 America teachers went here, in the Philippines to teach. The high school
system supported by provincial governments, special education institutions,
school of art and trades, an agricultural school, commerce and marine
institutes were establish in 1902 by Philippine Commission. After this is the
Japanese educational policies.
My search about the Thomasites was this, Many of the Filipinos who led
the revolution against Spain in the 1890s were ilustrados. Ilustrados,
almost without exception, came from wealthy Filipino families that could afford
to send them to the limited number of secondary schools (colegios) open
to non-Spaniards. Some of them went on to the University of Santo Tomás in
Manila or to Spain for higher education. Although these educational
opportunities were not available to most Filipinos, the Spanish colonial
government had initiated a system of free, compulsory primary education in
1863. By 1898 enrollment in schools at all levels exceeded 200,000 students.
Between 1901 and 1902, more than 1,000
American teachers, known as "Thomasites" for the S.S. Thomas,
which transported the original groups to the Philippines, fanned out across the
archipelago to open barangay schools. They taught in English and,
although they did not completely succeed in Americanizing their wards,
instilled in the Filipinos a deep faith in the general value of education.
Almost immediately, enrollments began to mushroom from a total of only 150,000
in 1900-1901 to just under 1 million in elementary schools two decades later.
After independence in 1946, the government picked up this emphasis on education
and opened schools in even the remotest areas of the archipelago during 1950’s
and 1960’s
Lesson 2: Journey in Basic Education Curricular Reforms
1946-2011
“We
draw an important distinction between assessing and evaluating. ” Assessing is
gathering evidence of content knowledge and skills; evaluating is the
case-by-case value judgment of the quality of performance …. Successful program
development cannot occur without some form of evaluation. Curriculum program
evaluation is the process of systematically determining the quality of a small
program can be improved (Sanders, 2000).

The code of Ethics for Professional
Teachers A professional teacher is a licensed
professional who possesses dignity and reputation, with high moral values as
well as technical and professional competence...She /he adheres to, observes,
and practices a set of ethical and moral principles, standard, and values.
In this lesson, it tackles the articles of the
code of ethics for teachers, their limitations, the teacher and the state, the
community, the profession, the teaching community and the like.
I realize that teachers should have a moral
and ethical value because they play a great role in the community. So they must
act accordingly.
Letter to the Professor
Dear Professor,
Greetings in the name of the
Lord in the vineyard!
For the past five months you’ve
been with us the Lord is great for giving us a teacher like you. You are simply unpredictable. I did not
understand at first the projects you have given. I chose not to appreciate all
those things but later on, I understand. Understand in a way that, in teaching
you will not only teach what have you learned from your scholastic learning but
I will also embrace all the trials, trainings and the main goal of being a
teacher is to touch the heart of my students. Teaching them to love learning. I
thank you for that!
My deepest sincerity and
thanks to all your efforts to relay what we need to learn for the past five
months. Thank you for giving us the value.

Letter to the Student
Our Dear Student,
Success is not just a wink
of an eye. It requires effort. Work is the main and final ingredient of
success. You cannot achieve what do you want to become if you will not work on
it. Whatever your heart’s desire, WORK on it! And always it takes determination
also to reach the goals you have made.
Whatsoever
state you are in life now, I know you can do it. Always trust God above to
continually bless you in every way and don’t forget to be a blessing.
