3. Say something about teaching as a vocation and as a mission.
Teaching is both a vocation and a mission. As a vocation, it’s a deep and personal calling
that individuals feel compelled to pursue. It’s driven by a genuine love for children and a
desire to make a positive impact on their lives. Teaching goes beyond just conveying
information; it involves connecting with students, understanding their needs, and
nurturing their growth.
As a mission, teaching involves a sense of purpose that extends beyond the classroom.
Educators strive to mold young minds, instill values, and prepare students for their
futures. It’s about fostering a sense of responsibility towards shaping the next generation
and contributing to the betterment of society as a whole.
Ultimately, teachers who view their role as both a vocation and a mission bring passion,
dedication, and a genuine desire to make a difference in the lives of their students.
4. Discuss the meaning of a teacher as a professional.
The role of a teacher as a professional is to provide quality education to their students. A

teacher’s job is to help students reach their potential by inspiring and guiding them to
become the best version of themselves. Teachers are responsible for planning and
implementing lessons, assessing students, and providing feedback. They are expected to
create an environment conducive to learning and growth in their classrooms.
A teacher plays a unique and important role in the development of their students. They
are responsible for helping their students reach their academic goals and build the skills
necessary for success. Teachers also help foster students’ emotional and social
development by providing guidance, support, and encouragement. By creating an
environment that is both safe and nurturing, teachers can help their students become well-
rounded individuals.
Finally, a teacher’s job is to be a role model for their students. Teachers should lead by
example and demonstrate qualities such as integrity, respect, and responsibility. They
should strive to set a positive example for their students, showing them that education is
important and that they should strive for excellence in all that they do. Through their
actions, teachers can help shape the character and values of their students.
5. Explain the professional competencies that a teacher should possess.

Teachers’ professional competencies is one of the key factor in order for them to
be able to be in the teaching field for a very long time and to deliver all their lessons
efficiently. First on the list is being able to cope up with the fast transition of the world
from manual to technological advancement. This is because technology truly helps
everyone in any aspects of life and when it comes to teachers, it will help them to finish
their paper works, presentation and others by encoding all of these using technology. This
is also a skills that needed in the 21st Century. Second is the communication and
interpersonal skills, we all the importance of mastering the proper way of communication
when we become a teacher. Every single day, we face different students with different
attitude and behavior. To handle this first and for most we should communicate nicely to
them so we can gain their trust that we can be their friends inside the classroom.
Accepting the diversity of every students will surely improve on how the way we talk and
communicate with them. Third is facilitation and engagement, the guidance of the
teachers inside the classroom are the key determinants on how successful the whole class
is. If the teacher cannot facilitate the students properly then the engagement of the
learners will not be given either. Assessing the organization of the teachers will make a
better impact inside the classroom. Lastly is the flexibility and adaptability, this
competencies is significantly related to the competencies that the teacher should possess
under the 21st Century. Being the leader and the guide of the learners inside the room
being flexible to your environment and being adaptive to the changes happening in the
surrounding is a must. Why? Because although you came prepared your daily basis as a
teacher, problem may arise anytime that is why these two is important to the teachers’
competencies.
There still many competencies that the teacher should possess in order for them to
make changes and create a ready and equipped learners in the future.
6. Explain what a teacher must do, must have and must be to cope up with society’s high
expectations of a teacher as a person.
What the teacher needs to do in order to meet with the high expectations of the
society is nothing. Why? Expectations of other people will only lead to being pressured
to something that you wanted to be good at. What the teacher needs to do is to do their
best in their jobs so that they will be able to feel the satisfaction to themselves. Society
cannot tell you how to do your job, it only tells you if you did great in your profession.
The only society expectations you need to meet is how you are going to create and build
a youth to be a skilled learners that sooner lead our country.
