 C. Resolve the issue

Teacher A is a Teacher III in Rizal Elementary School for 5 years. She was able to
earn a master’s degree in educational leadership and management with
specialization in Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment. Coincidentally, there is
one Master Teacher I (Salary Grade 19) item available in the school and one Senior
Education Program Specialist (SG 19) in the division office. The division office and
the school are situated in the city. Given the situation, if you are Teacher A, which
position would you choose? Why?

I’d rather choose to becoming a master teacher I position because I still

have a chance to teach the students

1. What did you learn about professional development? What is the connection
between personal growth and professional development?

Professional development focuses on the improvement of the teacher in

line with his career, role and responsibilities. Personal growth geared
towards both professional development and professional growth.

2. How does professional development affect your teaching performance?

I am already equipped with enough knowledege and skills in teaching.

Thus, I can impart what I have acquired to my students.

3. Would you recommend these professional development activities to your

colleagues? Why or why not?

Yes, for them to improve themselves professionally.

E. Beginning with an End in Mind

Knowing your own strengths and weaknesses, draw a professional development

road map. Make this activity an illustration of your personal journey, and how you
view yourself 6 years from now.

Here’s what’s required on the road map:

 The first stop on the road map should be your entry to public school system;
you can decide how the map “ends” in 10 years from now.

 There should be five other “stops” on the map, representing different key
concepts that could help or hamper your journey in achieving professional

 development. They may be experiences that you have or have yet to
experience.

  Record three major future events that you hope will happen on your road
map. Indicate on your map your age when you want these things to happen.
(Possible examples- graduating from graduate school, getting promoted,
implemented innovations, and improved teacher development stage etc.)

 The map should have small illustrations of each event—this can be a symbol,
picture, magazine cut-out, clip art, etc.

 The map should be in color! How you decorate and map out your
professional growth journey is up to you.

Be guided by the following rubric:

 Reflection

Choose ONE of the two writing prompts to write a well-

developed response in paragraph form.

1. From your map, choose two events to write about. Consider the
following questions when writing about each of these: why did you
choose to include this event on your map? How will this event
affect your pursuit for professional development?
OR
2. From your map, choose your top future entry (goal) and clearly
describe what steps you could take to help you reach this goal
(minimum of three steps). Describe what resources you would need
to meet these goals. Why is it important for you to achieve such
professional growth?

Attending seminars, trainings and workshops

enable me to achieve the skills and knowledge to pursue
professional growth and development. My goal is to be
promoted to Master Teacher. If I want to reach this goal I
need to enrol post graduate studies and attend seminar-
workshops. Financial and human resources are needed
to achieve the said goal. It is vital for a teacher to get
promoted because it is a sign that you are increasing
your level as a teacher
