REFLECTION NOTES
UTILIZATION OF PERSONAL STRENTGHS TO UPHOLD THE DIGNITY OF
TEACHING AS A PROFESSION
As an educator, I recognize that upholding the dignity of teaching as a
profession requires continuous self-improvement, collaboration, and
dedication to fostering a positive teaching and learning culture. I have
utilized my personal and professional strengths—effective communication,
adaptability, and a passion for student development—to contribute
meaningfully to my school community.
One instance where I applied these strengths was during our National
Reading Program for Grade 2 for low reading skills. Recognizing the
urgency of literacy development, I worked closely with colleagues to design
structured reading activities tailored to students' needs. I facilitated
engaging reading sessions and guided struggling readers patiently, helping
them build confidence. My ability to connect with students and differentiate
instruction proved essential in making reading a more accessible and
enjoyable experience.
I provided them with simple yet effective strategies, such as using
phonics-based approaches and reading aloud together. Additionally, my
colleagues consulted me for suggestions on improving lesson delivery,
especially in Peace Education and Values Education. Through
collaboration, we integrated more interactive and reflective activities that
made learning more meaningful for students.
Furthermore, I played an active role in Health Education sessions for
Grades 1-3 learners. My organizational skills were evident in planning well-
structured lessons on personal hygiene and disease prevention. During our
school’s health awareness campaign, I assisted in coordinating activities and
ensuring that students understood the importance of maintaining proper
hygiene practices.
