The Teacher We Remember
1. You will review the qualities of good teachers as contained in documents such as the
Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPSTs) and the Southeast Asia
Teachers Competency Framework and the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers.
2. You will view on youtube 2 TEDx talks on “What makes a good teacher great” and “The
Power of a Teacher.”
Participate actively by assisting your Resource Teacher in his/her daily task. Take the
initiative to offer assistance. Don’t wait for Resource Teacher to ask for it.
Notice
Analyze
1. From the PPSTs, the Southeast Asia Teachers Competency Standards and the TEDx
videos that you viewed, what competencies does a great teacher possess?
-For the videos I watched on YouTube, what competencies does a great teacher possess?
For me all the competencies that they tackle is right, but it always depends on every situation
that you experienced in school or on your students. But the best competencies do a great
teacher is “A great teacher listens to students” because as a teacher you don’t need always
teach sometimes teacher can listens on her students and know what the situations are they
have. When you listen to your students, they feel that much more valued and if they feel more
valued, they feel good about themselves which in turn makes them want to do more. Listening
well helps the teacher learn, too.
-No. because all these competencies can apply all the professional people and
unprofessional in different people that they socialized.
-The greatness of a teacher is measured on how he/she can handle, how she can
motivate and understand her students. The greatness of a teacher is not measured by
how well he/she is able to plan a lesson plan and execute it, manage a class, assess
learning, or compute and report grades. These are actually just manifestations that a
teacher is doing his/her job based on his/her job description.
-I remember all the teachers I had in all the years as a student, but for me Mrs. Sheryl D.
Castillo is one of the most I always remember when someone asked me same this question.
She is my adviser back on my 10 th grade. She has a big impact on me not only the way she so
good on teaching but also to give a motivation and always listen on her all students. No
wonder why many students favorite her too. And yes, she is also one of my inspirations to be a
good Science teacher someday.
Reflect
1. Which personal traits do I possess? Not possess? Where do I need improvement in?
-I think the personal traits I need to improve are to have a focus to do a thing and make
a schedule to all the task that I have. Because all the time I always says I do it today but at
the end of the day I had nothing was done in a day. But I did not like that before this online
class I feel like I learned nothing in all the lesson. I lost my motivation to all the things I do.
-For me the competencies I need to develop more is the quote in the video that I
watched on YouTube says” A great teacher sings” in the story of teacher Azul Terronez her
one of the students tell that line to him it means that he did not believe that he can sing but
he did not expect that he really can sing like me this is the competencies I need to develop
because I always don’t believe in myself of what I am capable that I can be more maybe I
am not that have confident to show it.
1. OBSERVE
In assisting my Resource Teacher, I observed that personal traits such as kind, cheerful
and funny person and professional competencies like he masters his professional subject
and his lack of competences in my observing is he always making a joke during in
discussion and always laughing but on the other side its not so very bad I think it can’t
really affect to his teaching and deliver the lesson or the learning on his students. Maybe
its his way to enjoy bj
were least / not displayed and as a result, students were / class was very active in his
discussion, and his students are very attentive but the others are not cooperating in
discussion and some not open their camera.
2. REFLECT
-The lack of these personal traits and professional competencies (mentioned in #1)
may be caused by he really a funny and friendly person so he can’t stop himself to make a
joke sometimes during in his discussion and maybe to enjoy his student and not got bored.
3. PLAN
I would like to address this problem (mentioned in #2) by conducting an action research
on how teachers can apply the laugh and the learning and teacher do not have to be
serious to be effective.
4. ACT
a. The main objective of my action research are students t they not only learn a great deal
from humorous teachers, but they also enjoy the process of learning from them.
Work on my Artifacts
For all of these reasons, humor can be an amazing tool in the classroom. However, like
most things in life, it needs to be used in moderation. Too much humor can be detrimental as
it can undermine the credibility of the instructor and result in a loss of focus of the
instructional objectives It is important to keep this in mind when teaching. If the joke is not
specific to what you are teaching, targeted to enhance learning, or appropriate for the
audience, learning will not take place.
