ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT

1. After reading the key concepts, write your self-reflection starting your sentence as: I
realized that…
a. Teacher as role model
I realized that teachers should demonstrate integrity and proper ethical behavior.
They should not show unprofessionalism inside the classroom and in the conduct
with the students’ parents and co-workers. Being a role model among the students
ensures the uncompromising education that they will receive. Thus, students will be
motivated and encouraged to be a person that possesses integrity and righteousness
to become a great individual someday.

b. Teacher’s social adjustment

I realized that teachers should be responsible for providing the students with a
suitable environment at school in order to maximize their capability to develop their
physical and mental growth. The teachers should provide the students an adequate
provision in regards to their physical activities since the students are at the age of
development. It is also a must to teach the students the proper education and be
oriented to career guidance to shape them to be productive and competent
individuals someday.

c. Teacher’s personality
I realized that teachers should have an approachable personality which is a great
help for the students to inquire to them without feeling intimidated. They should
practice proper communication skills since their job is to guide the students with their
learning, to sustain good quality education, and to hone them in becoming great
individuals. Teachers must provide effective teaching and be impartial to their
students.

d. Teacher’s professional and development

I realized that becoming a teacher will be a lifelong learner. The learning process of a
teacher is endless since they need to learn along with their whole life and career. I
also realized that a teacher must not only be content in achieving a professional
license but they should be ready or already starting their new path in achieving a
postgraduate academic degree where their knowledge will be maximized. This is also
a great action to gain more experience to keep up with the rapid change of the world.
e. Teacher’s accountability
I realized that teachers should be accountable to the situation of the students. The
daily checking of attendance is an action of knowing the students situation if they are
in school or at home. Teachers should also be accountable to the learning process of
the students. If the students perform poorly in his academic performance then the
teacher must know how to assess this situation in order to find the solution.

contract. This faculty had been intriguing you since the first day of your work. How will you
handle the situation?
