Recall your most memorable teacher who had the greatest impact on your life. What special
personal qualities did he/she possess? Write them down.

I have a Math teacher who is very skillful and friendly during math discussion. Aside
from having a clearer and louder voice. She is also good in delivering a lesson in a way that her
students can understand and point what she is saying. I always understand the math problems and
equation that she discussed. During her time the class is lively because of her presence.

C 1.5

YOU ARE A TEACHER

If I speak interestingly, effectively, and well,

But do not understand my students
I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal,
If I know all the methods and techniques of teaching,
If I have complete faith that they will work,
So that I use them completely,
But think only of materials or techniques
Instead of how they can help my students,
I can count nothing.
If I go the second mile in my teaching,
Give up many activities,
But do it without understanding,
It does no good.
Love is very patient, very kind;
Love is not jealous; it does not put on airs;
It is never tyrannic, never;
Yet does insist on truth;
It does not become angry;
It is not resentful.
Love always expects the best of others;
It is gladdened when they live up to these expectations,
Slow to lose faith when they do not.
It will bear anything.
Endure anything.
This kind of love will never fail
If there are teaching methods, they will change;
If there are curricula, they will revise.
For our knowledge is imperfect
And our teaching is imperfect
And we are always looking for the better ways
Which an infinite God has placed ahead of us.
When I began to teach, I fumbled and failed;
Now I have put away some of my childish ways.
At present I am learning bit by bit;
But if I keep on seeking, I shall at last understand
As all along I myself have been understood.
So faith, hope and love endure.
These are the great three
But the greatest of them is love.

1. Which line of the poem do you like most? Why?

The line I'd like most is the line about "our teaching is imperfect". Because it is
true that as teacher we also create mistakes and have shortcoming. We are not only a
teacher, we are also human that has a family and have other priorities in life.
 2. What mental portrait of the teacher in the classroom and the teacher in the community is
painted by this poem?
The mental portrait of the teacher in the classroom and the teacher in the
community is that these two are interconnected and should work together.

1. Between the professional qualities of a teacher, which one are perceived to be more
important? Is there really such thing as more important than the other?
For me, one of my perception about professional qualities of a teacher is the sense
of commitment that is being dedicated to this profession. Teaching profession is quite
hard but if you are committed to do this task you will overcome it.\
