    CHAPTER I: The Teacher and His Profession

    OVERVIEW

    A teacher is one of the major contributors in the development of society, and


    thus, the key factor in the education of the young. Even though a general criterion of a
    good teacher has not yet been established, studies show that the traits and abilities of
    an effective teacher can be categorized into two: professional qualities and personal
    qualities. Professional qualities pertain to mastery of the subject, understanding of the
    learner, understanding of teaching principles and skill in using techniques to implement
    them, having general understanding of other branches of knowledge, and
    understanding and appreciation of the teaching profession. Personal qualities, on the
    other hand, point to the five aspect of personality: intellectual, social, physical,
    emotional, and moral. Thusly, supervisors help teachers to improve on their
    performance by evaluating their performance in accordance to (1) instructional
    competencies such as teaching, guidance, management, and evaluation skills as well
    as (2) personal and social competencies like ethics, professionalism, resourcefulness,
    contributions to the community, etc.

    Being a teacher is a complex and multifaceted profession demanding very high


    standards. It involves the tasks of (a) guiding the learning process to promote learning,
    (b) sharing obligation in counselling and guidance to assist learners with their varied
    problems, (c) sponsoring extra class activities to allow for more opportunities for
    development, (d) working with parents and the community to improve the community
    and establish harmonious relationships within it, and (e) observing professional
    responsibilities by continuing to grow professionally. In order to be ready to be a
    teacher, one has to either undertake (1) preservice education or (2) in-service
    education. Preservice education means having college education that focuses on (a)
    subject matter education or mastery of the chosen field/s, (b) general education or study
    of other areas of knowledge, and (c) professional education or study of educational and
    psychological foundations of the teaching-learning process and teaching methodologies
    and techniques. Preservice education in the Philippines ensures that prospective
    teachers possess (1) personal/social traits and (2) professional competencies that are
    concerned in (a) promoting the ideals, aspirations, and traditions of Philippine life and
    culture as well as (b) equipping them with knowledge of effective delivery system
    sufficiently. In-service education refers to the commitment of a teacher who is already in
    the field to continue his/her professional growth by keeping abreast with the latest
    developments in education in general and taking part in in-service activities. Besides
    these, understanding and practice of the specific rules of conduct, for example, Code of
    Ethics for Filipino Teachers, are essential so that the teacher is able to nurture
    harmonious relationships with individuals and groups within the community, and more
    importantly present him/herself as an esteemed example of the professional teacher.
