Portfolio Entry

My Reflection/ Insights

A. How do I use my personal qualities to become a good teacher? Write

in at least two (2) paragraphs.
 I will use my personal qualities to become a good teacher by making

myself as a good example to my students. We all know that children are the

great imitators, so as a future educator i will do best thing and the right actions so

that they will imitate that good deeds and not the bad things.

As a future educator I need also to become faire to my students or else

they will not going to follow what I'm teaching in front because they feel that they

are not belong to the group so i need to be careful with that. I need also to avoid

favoritism so that my students won't feel the "OP" feeling so, as a future teacher i

will evaluate my students because they have diverse culture and i should be

culture sensitive.

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.

The teacher utilized her personal qualities by making herself calm every

time she's teaching. She can control herself even though her students are very

importunate, at the same time she's also kind to her students.

The teacher has the eagerness to teach even she's not in the mood or

she's not feeling well. She didn’t let her students know that she is weak even

though she look so tired because she won't let her students going home without

learning that they can cherish and mark in their minds.

My Learning Portfolio

1. Picture of self and descriptions of personal qualities in a photo-essay and

reflections.

“Work smart, not hard” this is the line that I always bear in my mind,

because if you work hard you will just be tired in the last part of your

success, but if you work smart you just need to be wise and find another

ways to solve the problem and to make your success more fruitful.

I have this compassionate personality that if others are sad I am

also sad and if they are happy I am also happy because I can feel what

they feel and really appreciate those persons the always cares me and

always there for me. I like to try new things if I want to. I am also punctual

in attendance because i don’t want be late and I don’t want to be mention

by our instructor.

My Reflection/ Insights

1. Have you discovered your dominant 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 Progressivism

The practices that I do as a student and future teacher that reflect my
philosophy are: (describe in sentences)

I should engage myself in real world activities so that i can gain

more knowledge and can use it in my future career. Preparing myself in

analyzing and solving the types of problems that i will face outside the

classroom. Enhancing my capabilities and skills so that I will able to teach

smoothly inside the class.

The practices that I will do, that I will reflect my Philosophy of Education
will be: (describe in sentences).

Since the students learn effectively through social interaction, I as a future

educator i will create more group activities inside the class so that they can

gather more information from their classmates at the same time they will able

to develop their social skills and communication skills. I will think more

strategies that i can apply in my lesson so that the student will not be bored,

instead they will be active in the teaching and learning process. As a future

educator i will stress to my students how important the eduation truly is and
 what are the relevance of what they are learning to their lives outside and

inside the classroom.

2. In your observations, does an experienced teacher practice 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 teacher practice what they believe in philosophy od

education because in my observation the teacher is really doing her job

great and she utilize some of the philosophy of education. She is the kind

of a teacher that won't give unnecessary learning. She gives the best for

her learners.

SCHOOL SETTING
Learning Episode
A regular school day is equivalent to 8 hours. It begins officially at 8:00 in the
morning and ends up at 5: 00 in the afternoon. Adjustments are sometimes made, but
My Learning Essentials
the time spent in school is 8 hours. Majority (of the eight hours) is spent guiding the
learners in their lessons, which is called the contact period. Usually, the teacher is
assigned to teach for 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 the
subjects for the whole class while the bigger schools they have subject area specialist,
who teach the same subject in the same grade level or different grade levels.

My Reflections/Insights

1. Would you consider teaching as a fulltime job? Why? Why not?

Yes because if you are a teacher specifically in elementary you

have to think what are the needs of your students even you are at

home. If you are a teacher you are busy making a good lesson plans

and thinking strategies to be used in teaching learning process.

2. Are the conditions in the classroom conducive to the welfare of both

the learners and teacher? How will you improve on it?

Since the classroom that I have entered don't have TV and

projector I just want to add it to catch the interest of the students and to

make the classroom more conducive and the teaching learning

process will be more productive.

3. After closely observing the teacher in the school setting, you

motivated to continue on becoming a teacher? What in the
teacher’s practices inspire you to become a professional teacher?
How will you improve on it?

Yes. I am motivated to continue on becoming a teaching after

seeing the teacher doing her best just to make her students satisfy with

her lesson and to make them more knowledgeable that inspires me a

lot. I learned that teaching is not just a full time job, it’s a long life job,

and that you need to guide your students until they get into the top.
 Being a teacher is not an easy task; it requires passion, dedication

determination and love of children. Without this requirement you will

not able to teach and not deserve to be called a "Teacher".

4. How can I improve the school setting that I have observed when I
become a teacher?

Classroom Management- I will make an L type of chair

arrangement so that the student and can move and feel
comfortable

Bulletin Board Display- I will add more colorful things to make

it more beautiful and add more updates

School Playground- I will make it neater and clean so that it is

suited for the students to play and add more facilities so that
they can have more games to play.

the wider learning environment.
 Schools are often perceived to 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 resource for teaching and learning.

My Reflections/Insights

1. If the NCBTS is the measure of a global teacher, can the teacher you
interviewed be able to meet the challenges of global education? Why?
Why not?

Yes of course. I think the teacher I’ve interviewed meet the

challenges of a global education because the teacher on her words so that she
can’t hurt her students emotionally. According to the teacher, she said that every

student is diverse so she needs to be careful and be culture sensitive.

2. Are there similarities or differences among teachers in other countries in

terms of standard requirements for a professional teacher? Explain your

answer.

Yes. Aside from certificates that should be gained from recognized

Seminars and workshops they also need to passed the Licensure Examination

for teachers in order for them to become a professional teacher.

3. Are Filipino teachers comparable to their fellow teachers in countries?

Explain your answer.

Yes. Even though they gained their certificates from recognized seminars and

workshops and passed the Licensure Examination for Teachers, they have also

different ways and strategies in handling their students.

4. How would you prepare to become a global teacher of the 21 st century?

How do you see yourself?

Become a global teacher is not an easy task, in order for me to

become one, I need to master the basics in education, develop wide thinking,

practice ICT integration in my practice teaching, develop and possess the 21 st

century skills and most of all i will start acting and thinking globally

My Reflection/ Insights

Based on the answers given by the teachers you interviewed, do they

reflect a true professional teacher?
1. Why do you think so?
Yes of course. I think she reflects a true professional teacher
because she tell her personal experiences about her life and why she pursue her
educational degree without hesitation.

Why don’t you think so?

I think even she is already an experienced teacher; she has also

deficiency as a professional teacher because she’s old and cannot do the other

task.

Based on the interviews you conduct, is being a professional teacher a

fulfilling job? Why?
Yes, because even she’s not really satisfied with her job she also

fulfilling her job.

Considering that you will be a future professional teacher, what standards

of behaviour should you uphold based on the Code of Ethics for
Professional Teachers?

The behaviour that I should uphold based on the Code of Ethics for

professional teacher is being an innovative and creative person person; I need

to acquire these things through practicing it in my daily life and as a future

teacher I need to be more creative so that I can create a conducive environment

inside the class.
