A. COMMON TO ALL PROGRAMS IN ALL TYPE OF SCHOOL

 Effectively communicate in English and Filipino, both orally and in writing

Filipinos’ ability to read, write and speak the English language is a must, especially now that
globalization is becoming evident. Because the English language is mostly used in the business world, the
mastery of this language can serve as a stepping ladder for us in our employment. The Filipinos have
always been competitive and now is the time for us to increase the intensity of our competitiveness by
taking our knowledge in the English language a notch higher. As a future educator, I should develop
pupils’ spoken language, reading, writing and vocabulary as integral aspects of the teaching of every
subject. English is both a subject in its own right and the medium for teaching; for pupils, understanding
the language provides access to the whole curriculum. Fluency in the English language is an essential
foundation for success in all subjects.
B. COMMON TO THE DISCIPLINE (TEACHER EDUCATION)

 Demonstrate mastery of subject matter/discipline

The mastery of subject matter is an essential skill that a teacher requires to be endowed with, in the
teaching and learning process as it has a direct impact on teaching and learning process in schools.
Teachers are required to know what they are teaching because understanding of subject matter by a
teacher implies that the teachers is able to grasp the main points and teach them to the learners, and to
correct any misconceptions of knowledge, and all this revolves around the teachers understanding of the
subject matter. In order for this to be attained, student teachers are exposed to the methods and skills of
instruction for student teachers` effectiveness and quality teaching during the teaching practice and are
prepared for the classroom in the teachers colleges and this entails knowledge of the content of the
subjects they are needed to teach and the methods of delivering that content. The student-teachers
knowledge of the subject matter should go beyond the limits of the curriculum for them to be able to
explain to the learners, for they can maneuver around it.

C. SPECIFIC TO THE PROGRAM

 Demonstrate positive attributes of a model teacher, both as an individual and as a professional

To develop a strong sense of professionalism, a teacher must focus on the critical elements of attitude,
behavior, and communication. Every teacher must develop the characteristics of a professional and
model professionalism every day. Beginning at the simplest level, teachers cannot let their personal lives
interfere with their professional attitude. Even when having a bad day, a teacher still needs to maintain a
positive attitude and not take out a bad mood on the students. A professional needs to push away outside
concerns or distractions and focus on the task at hand. One of the best things a teacher can do is to love
his or her students. It is so important for students to know that their teachers care for them. A
professional doesn’t view his or her profession as just a job, but rather sees it as a calling that is all about
caring for children.
D. BEGINNING TEACHER INDICATOR

 Demonstrate knowledge of providing timely, accurate and constructive feedback to improve learner
performance.
Feedback should be timely. It should focus not just on strengths and weaknesses but also offer corrective
advice. It should direct students to higher order learning goals, and involve some praise alongside
constructive criticism. Feedback is necessary for learning. Be prompt, kind, and specific, and
give students opportunities to reflect before revising. Timely feedback ensures that nothing is lost,
that students can still apply what they’ve learned and take on board suggestions to improve their greater
understanding of a topic. Feedback needs to be specific so students can fully understand what teachers
are asking of them and are fully equipped with the knowledge of how they can improve. If feedback is
vague and nonspecific it can in fact have the opposite desired effect, to motivate and improve
understanding, and can actually lead to students becoming frustrated, unmotivated and unable to apply
any notes to their work to improve.
