The Teacher We Remember
1. From the PPSTs, The Southeast Asia Teachers Competency Standards
and the TEDx videos that you viewed, what competencies does a great teacher possess?
Great teachers never stop learning, according to the four career
stages of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPSTs) for teachers. The next phase is to advance from being a proficient teacher to one who is extremely proficient after obtaining the certification to become a professional beginning teacher. On the other hand, a great teacher knows and understands what to teach, helping students learn, participating with the community, and becoming a better teacher every day, according to the frameworks provided by the Southeast Asia Teachers Competency Standards. Those who want to become teachers must be willing to take on a greater role outside of the classroom. According to the video I watched, excellent teachers have a deep grasp of their students. They do listen well, which is a quality necessary to reform education and schools. Teachers who are great also have the ability to bring out the best in their pupils. Despite the difficulties that their kids are having, they have this profound knowledge and the ability to see beyond. They guide each student in a direction where they may understand their worth, destiny, and purpose, all of which can greatly influence the decisions they make in the future.
2. Are these competencies limited only to professional competencies?
No, the aforementioned competencies are not just concerned
with professional competencies. To be successful in teaching and learning, teachers must also exhibit certain personal attributes. Because students depend on what their teachers are teaching them, it is crucial to impart correct knowledge to them. On the other hand, a teacher's character traits have a significant role in improving relationships in the classroom and in the larger community to which they belong. It's crucial for a teacher to make every effort to fully comprehend each of their students in a classroom with a range of backgrounds and academic levels and to support them as they progress.
3. For a teacher to be great, is it enough to possess the professional
competencies to plan a lesson execute a lesson plan, manage a class, assess learning, compute and report grades? Explain your answer.
As I would see it, proficient capabilities are insufficient for an
educator to be called perfect. Arranging an example, executing an illustration plan, dealing with a class, evaluating getting the hang of, processing and revealing grades are essential for an educator's work and by doing this errand just means he was taking care of his business. An extraordinary educator should likewise have individual characteristics, for example, being a decent audience which is vital trademark in light of the fact that an instructor may have the option to help and urge their understudies to progress assuming they have areas of strength for an of what their identity is and where they are in their scholastic process. It is vital to tune in for what understudies are keen on so the educator can fit illustrations to their advantage regions, how they portray any difficulties or hindrances so the instructor can be strong, and the way that they connect with different understudies and in the homeroom. This is just one example of a personal quality that is essential for understanding one's students and supporting them in their academic journey. Listening can also be important for understanding cultural differences.

5. Who are the teachers that we remember most?
Actually, most us don’t remember being taught, rather we remember being transformed. We remember the teachers that facilitated our growth and transformation over the years, not a single lesson in a classroom and this aspect was mentioned in the TEDx video that I viewed. Although teachers all have different teaching styles, passions, and life experiences, memorable teachers have one thing in common, they are intentional about the impact they want to create. These teachers have a long-term vision and don’t get caught up in the small day-to-day stuff. They accept their students for who they are, and help them see their purpose of who they could become when they leave school.
6. Which personal traits do you possess? Not possess? Where do you
need improvement in? The personal traits I possess was being patient and approachable. They say that ‘patience is a virtue’, and this couldn’t be more true for teachers. Dealing with youngsters can be a tricky task so being approachable is a must. I am also enthusiastic and adaptable I love to be a teacher and everything about it. Feeling a sense of enthusiasm from their teacher will inspire them to learn and apply themselves better. I am also a good listener, emphatic, and disciplined. As a person, I know that there are personal traits that I need to improve such as strong communication skills. Possessing this quality is necessary when speaking to parents about their children. Or sometimes a child might be misbehaving, and news of this must be broken to the parents. Another trait was my patience, I knew that this trait is very crucial in the teaching profession especially to the students who will truly test may patience and I was afraid that I can’t hold back my anger.
7. Which professional competencies you strongly capable of
demonstrating?
I am capable of creating a safe learning environment that is conducive to learning
is essential. I knew that I can also be good at lesson plan design. I have the knowledge on how to choose and create instructional materials to accommodate students at different levels. This follows my knowledge of using varied teaching strategies to help my students with multiple learning styles learn and stay engaged. I know that I can also be able to assess and identify my students’ needs. I can also collaborate with others so we can learn from one another and grow into better teachers to make the school a safe, effective learning environment for all students and to improve the overall image of the school and the instruction that takes place there.
8. In which competencies do you need to develop more?
My specialized and computerized capacities need the most improvement on the
grounds that, obviously, modernization calls for us to be happy with the information we as of now have to furnish students with better schooling. Current kids have grown up encircled by computerized innovation, and these abilities will be fundamental during a pandemic. I ought to go through a major computerized change to have the option to address the issues of the youthful age and their mechanically situated future. Due to the sudden and rapid shifts that the COVID- 19 pandemic has brought about in education and schools, I need to improve my skills and knowledge in these areas.
9. Write a reflection on the personal and professional qualities of an
effective teacher.
As future educator, we should be helped to remember the individual
characteristics and expert abilities we should have. Being a great teacher does not solely depend on a teacher's knowledge and abilities; rather, it is important to work on his or her traits and characteristics as well. Lately, the nature of instruction has essentially changed. Educators should furnish understudies with abilities that will assist them with working cooperatively and delicately in a group, become leaders, plan and deal with their time really, pay attention to each other and pick the ideal correspondence technique brilliantly. We want incredible educators comprising of at least one abilities whose dominance would empower the accomplishment of the capability. The person should be connected to each of the three of the spaces under which execution can be evaluated: information, abilities and demeanor. Competencies are also measurable because they can be observed. Evaluating a skill from an instructor's performance is conceivable. Showing abilities might require equivalent measures of information, expertise and demeanor, however some will not. A few capabilities might include more information than expertise or demeanor, though, a few abilities might be more expertise or execution based. Educators need many skills to confront the complicated difficulties of the present world. The focal figures in the instructive cycle are educators. The outcome of preparing and instruction relies upon their arrangement and execution quality. In a perfect world, then, teachers ought to exhibit compelling homeroom the executives, expanding productivity, keeping up with discipline and spirit, advancing cooperation, arranging, conveying, zeroing in on results, assessing headway, and making consistent changes. To foster cooperative relationships, purposeful learning, and positive relationships, a variety of strategies should be used. Putting together, appointing, and overseeing time, space and exercises ought to guarantee the dynamic and impartial commitment of understudies in useful errands. Extraordinary educators are recalled. They are the sort of instructors that will leave an engraving of himself or himself on his/her understudies. They have great characteristics that will enable understudies to arrive at their fantasies and see past. They will have an extremely fundamental effect on understudy's life in seeking after to be their best selves. To have the option to change schools and training, extraordinary educators are out of luck. Thus, from all that I have learned in this episode, I will constantly make an honest effort to be an extraordinary educator sometime in the not so distant future. I will strive to always be considerate of the requirements and interests of my future students and to have a great heart as well as a great mind. I will open my eyes to see their capabilities, open my mouth to remind them of their calling, open my mind to share all of my knowledge and skills, and open my ears to listen to the struggles in class.
