My Reflections/ Insights
My Learning Portfolio
Teacher portrays a lot — to the mind of flint, the teacher must be iron,
and strikes sparks; to the empty pitcher, the teacher becomes a well; to
the fallow mind, a planter of seeds; to the cluttered mind, a gardener
to weed, shape and a space for growing; to the lens, teacher is light,
and to the mind of light, a lens; to the sleeper the teacher is a wake-
up call of birds at sunrise; to clay, the teacher is potter, a sculptor,
and a trainer in self-shaping; to the developed mind, the teacher is
colleagu, listener, a friend. To be a teacher is noblest. And I’m
looking forward to be one of them in the future.
For me, she is the best teacher that retains a strong memory of what it she
like to be a learner has to know,
You will not just love the sound of her own voice, but the impact she can have
and how she used it well.
She prefer story-telling to telling, and showing to explaining.
She teaches students how to deliver constructive criticism and how to field
the good and the bad of it elegantly.
She teaches that goals are immensely important but not half as much as the
enlightenment you will get on your way there.
She teaches kids not just about the beauty of logic and numbers, but about the
beauty of words and art and music, the bounties you may harness if you develop
your intuition and a strong sense of when something feels right and wrong.
She teaches how to win and lose with grace - and how to apologize fully.

APPLICATION OF PHILOSOPHY OF
EDUCATION IN THE CLASSROOM
Activity 2
Name of Country
Australia
There are many personal qualities and skills
that make someone a good teacher.These include:
being good at explaining things;
being a people person and enjoy working with a
wide range of people;
enthusiasm;
Personal Qualities
having a strong knowledge in particular
of
subject areas;
Teachers
being a good time manager;
ability to work in a team as well as using
your own initiative;
keeping your cool under pressure;
having patience and a good sense of humor;
being fair-minded;
t was in November 2004 when the agency contacted me and said that I was
one of the teacher applicants who was scheduled to be interviewed by the
human resources representatives from the Baltimore City Public Schools.
They told me the time of the interview and that it was going to be held
at the Manila Peninsula Hotel in Makati City. I had mixed emotions when
I learned about this great news. I was ecstatic because I knew that I
was getting close to achieving my “American Dream.” At the same time, I
was also nervous because I knew that it was going to be a tough
competition among the teacher applicants.
After this memorable day, most of my days were spent submitting and
processing all my documents. I thought passing the interview was the
ticket to the US, but no! It was just the beginning of a very tedious
and agonizing process. It was in May 2005 when I was scheduled for an
interview before the US embassy. I would not forget that day, when my
visa was granted. It was a dream-come-true. All of my sleepless nights,
effort, perseverance and patience were paid off. I immediately thought
about the financial gains that it was going to bring me and my family.
My family and I started building castles in the air, like with my whole
family migrating to the US, experiencing the snow, etc. I was also after
the wonderful experience of being able to teach English to a country
whose mother tongue is English.
Goodbye Philippines
The remainder of my days after getting the visa was dreadful. I needed
to resign from my school where I was an English teacher for eight years.
I needed to face my students, colleagues and administrators confidently
to let them know that I was fine but in reality, I was not! Besides
saying goodbye to my institution, I also came to the realization that I
was leaving my two children and husband in less than a month. My
daughter was just in third grade during that time while my son was just
in first grade. That thought started to pierce my heart. I would cry
every night just thinking about it! It was too painful to think about
that I felt like I was going to die. But then again, the dream of me
giving my children a brighter future defeated my loneliness. That time,
as a parent, it was more important than for me to cater the loneliness
that was ahead of me.
When the day of my departure came, reality started to sink in! This was
the reality of being away from my children and my husband. At the
airport, I could see on the faces of my innocent children how lonely
they were that their beloved “Mama” was going to leave them. I could see
how they wished they could stop me from leaving! It was the loneliest
moment in my life. Even lonelier and more painful than the feeling that
It was an adjustment to the culture as well. There were some things that
I would miss that our students do in the Philippines that our students
here do not do. Back home, our students and parents regard us as their
second parents. They put such high regard to teachers. Filipino students
stand to greet their teachers and whenever they respond to our
questions. It took me about a month to adjust in this regard. Then, I
realized that both I and my students were actually adjusting to each
other’s ways and cultures. I also realized that children are children
I had colleagues who were already deciding to go back home during our
first year. However, with continued support and faith in God, we were
able to survive our first tough year. One thing that I can say about us
Filipino teachers is that, we’re resilient and as pliant as the bamboos.
Trials seemed to make us fall down but we just dusted ourselves off
instead and continued to stand from where we left off.
Looking back
This is now my sixth year in my school and in my district. I have now
been a part of our leadership team and executive board. I, together with
my principal and other selected colleagues, meet weekly to discuss
school policies and programs that will make my school a well-run school.
My principal has given me multiple awards because of my contributions in
my school’s achievement of the Adequate Yearly Progress for three
consecutive years. I also have dismissed a lot of special education
students because they have already been performing on grade level after
I have a lot of things to thank God for. My family has been here with me
for three years now. My daughter is now in ninth grade and my son is now
in seventh grade. Both of them are consistent honor students. Besides
enjoying some financial gains that coming to America had brought me and
my family, I am so thankful that I was able to know the real God. My God
who continues to love me unconditionally despite of my inequities? My
God who promises in Jeremiah 29:11 that, “For I know the plans that I
have for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give
you hope and a future!”
If you ask me if I feel bad about leaving the Filipino students behind
despite them being in need of good teachers like us, my answer is
sometimes. On the other hand, I also believe that we do not have to be
in our country to make our country proud. Every day, I always instill in
my mind that I am not just carrying myself but I’m also a “flag carrier”
of my beloved country. Every day, I make my country proud by making sure
that I am giving my best to my American students. That way, they will
remember my country because of this Filipino teacher who touched their
lives and whose name has been engraved in their hearts. I serve my
students because I do believe that God brought me to this country for a
reason, and that is to be like a parent to these children who are hungry
and longing for a parent’s love that some parents could not provide.
