A Professional Educator Should:
CONTINUE TO LEARN through classes, workshops, conferences, in-service meetings, books, journals,
tapes, and advanced degrees.
Educators play an important role in the development of people and communities. Jan and Ed
Philpot (1994) concretized this idea by encouraging a stronger link between home, school, and
community through effective programs developed and implemented by teachers.
☑️Teachers provide leadership roles in various cultural development programs in their communities.
☑️Teachers provide technical and professional assistance in the local communities where they belong.
☑️They help the community in implementing certain provisions of Republic Act 7610 known as the
"Special Protection of Children against Abuse, Exploitation, and Discrimination Act."
☑️Teachers give advice on education matter and they serve as leaders and organizers of community
activities for children, women, and youth.
☑️Teachers also serve as advocates for quality education, protection and welfare of children and youth,
promotion of literacy, human rights, wellness and health, justice, and many other concerns.
- As a model of character, a teacher should have a balanced personality, good habits, praiseworthy
attitude and knows how to keep his emotions in control.
