My Reflections / Insights
A. How do I use my personal qualities to become a good teacher? Write
in at least two (2) paragraphs.
I think that the first step to do is to accept yourself as a
better person because it’s hard to become a good teacher when
you’re a “less good” person.
It takes time but try to fix a daily goal. Each day guide your
energy towards achieving one small daily goal. One step at a time.
Try to make your students explore their own mental capacities,
encourage them, boost their creativity and inspire them! That’s
what counts!
Field Study 6 – On Becoming the 21st Century Teacher 6
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.
Everyone has different personal qualities, so your response will
be about the unique you. If you are a very honest person, that will
(Write below Text of the Essay)
shine through in everything you do in the classroom. You will be a
role model for honesty. If you are teaching students about academic
honesty, for example, you will do so with great conviction. And
students will take you very seriously.
Having a great sense of humor makes a good teacher, able to find
humor in everyday moments in the classroom and able to laugh at yourself
when you make a mistake. And I do make mistakes. Sometimes you even
tell little stories about some of my mistakes. The students laugh, but they
are also learning that even teachers are not perfect, and that it's always good
to be able to laugh at you at least a little.

My Reflections / 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
The practices that I do as a student and future teacher that reflect my
philosophy are: (describe in sentences)
In choosing to become a teacher, I have made the commitment to myself
and my future students to be the best academic, personal, and ethical role model
I can be. It is my goal to have a mutually enriching teaching career by keeping an
open mind and continually communicating with my peers and students. I am
prepared to rise to the challenges of teaching in the 21st century, and I promise
to try to provide an honest, well-rounded education to every student I encounter.
The practices that I will do, that I will reflect my Philosophy of Education
will be: (describe in sentences)
I think that teaching and learning are reciprocal processes. When
teachers nurture individual talents in each child, educators can build
self-esteem and may encourage a lifelong skill. By supporting these
special abilities, teachers can, for example, guide students' research,
and students can, in turn, enlighten teachers about subjects in which
they may not be as knowledgebale.
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, because in these situation I think the teacher can’t give their
statement right away without experiencing those things in school that may
possibly happen every day.

THE TEACHER IN A
FIELD STUDY SCHOOL SETTING
Learning Episode
My FS Learning Task Overview
A teacher as a professional will always be found in a school
setting. A teacher’s official working place is a school. A school is an
institution where learning occurs under the guidance of a professional
called the teacher.
How does a teacher operate or function in a school setting? How
will a teacher manage the learning environment in the school setting?
My Desired Learning Outcomes
List the activities in the daily routing of the teacher.
Identify the teacher’s role in creating a conducive learning
environment in the school.
My Learning Essentials
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 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 point. 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 in bigger schools they have subject area specialists who teach the
same subject in the same grade level or different grade levels.

THE TEACHER IN THE
FIELD STUDY COMMUNITY SETTING
Learning Episode
My FS Learning Task Overview
In the Philippines, the government has built schools in almost all
barangays, town or city. This was done to provide access and equal
opportunity for every school child for quality education. At present,
there are more than half a million public school teachers deployed in
all these schools throughout the country. The school and the teacher
have a very crucial responsibility in bringing about change and
development in the community on one hand and the community
provides a lot learning opportunities on the other hand.
Where else can one find resources that are authentic and are in
the context of the school setting? The COMMUNITY. Who is one
significant community person who earns great respect of the
community? The TEACHER.
My Desired Learning Outcomes
Identify community resources available for use by the teachers in
the school through a Rapid Appraisal Survey
Observe how teachers utilize community resources in teaching.
Collect information on how the teacher is looked upon in the
community.
My Learning Essentials
Here are some key points in this episode:
While the school is the official working place of a Teacher, the
community is 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.
Field Study 6 – On Becoming the 21st Century Teacher 35
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.

GLOBAL TEACHERS THE WORLD OVER
Activity 1 describes the competencies that a global Filipino
Teacher should possess. Now, we need to know what competencies are
required of other teachers from other countries of the world.
Since we cannot travel physically to other countries, we can reach
these places through the use of modern technology like surfing, Skype,
chat, emails through the World Wide Web, interviews and use of other
sources of information.
Choose at least two countries other than the Philippines. Search
for the personal and professional competences required of the teachers
in that particular country. You may also interview a Filipino teacher
who has taught in these countries.
Be guided by the matrix given below.

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?
I got these information from blog and I think the teacher that being interviewed
will be able to meet the challenges of global education, Because she is able to
meet the competencies required in the NCBTS. Such competencies In the NCBTS
with define good teaching in terms of actual competencies associated features of
teaching high-learning classroom activities
Field Study 6 – On Becoming the 21st Century Teacher 57
2. Are there similarities or differences among teachers in other countries in terms of the
standard requirement for a professional teacher? Explain your answer.
There are similarities and difference as well. Based on what I have researched, the for
teachers in USA developed 5principles of professional standards as values.
Theseprinciples are not totally different with the 7 domains of theNCBTS that we have
our teachers here in Philippines. As what I observed, these principles and domains
correlated with each other. The difference I have noticed is that in the USA,linking the
school to the community is not highlighted or given much focus
3. Are Filipino teachers comparable to their fellow teachers in other countries? Explain
your answer.
If teachers meet the competencies in the NCBTS, theyare really comparable with the I t
other teachers in othercountries. As what I have answered in the previous
question,competencies in the NCBTS define good teaching in terms of
actual
competencies associated with features of teachinghigh-learning classroom activities. And
hink, what weconsider good teaching here in Philippines is also consideredas good
teaching in other countries
4. How would you prepare to become a global teacher of the 21 st century? How do you
see yourself?
I see myself facing theteachers from all over the world with confidence. Ibelieve 10 years
n
time is enough to train myself tobecome one who can compete well with otherteachers
abroad. With such competencies laid outin NCBTS, I believe I can grow into a
professionalteacher in equal footing with those foreig
mentors.
