Personal Growth and

Professional Development
7.1.1. Articulate a personal philosophy of teaching that is
learner-centered.
Their teaching philosophy centers on social
constructivism, where learning is seen as a
collaborative process shaped by social
interactions. They prioritize creating an
inclusive and interactive classroom
environment, valuing diverse perspectives
and fostering student engagement. Through
inquiry-based learning and collaborative
projects, they aim to facilitate meaningful
learning experiences that promote critical
thinking and lifelong learning habits. Their
role as an educator is to guide and support
students' learning journey, empowering
them to reach their full potential.
7.2.1. Demonstrate behaviors that uphold the dignity of teaching as a
profession by exhibiting qualities such as caring attitude, respect and
integrity.

Upholding the dignity of

teaching involves showing
care, respect, and integrity.
By genuinely caring for
students, respecting their
diversity, and acting with
honesty, teachers create a
supportive and trustworthy
learning environment,
fostering a positive impact on
students' growth and
development.
7.3.1. Seek opportunities to establish professional links with
colleagues.

In seeking opportunities to
establish professional links
with colleagues, we
consistently seek advice from
each other, including my other
cooperating practice teachers.
We collaborate on crafting
activities, conducting research,
and various other professional
endeavors to enhance our
teaching practices and foster a
supportive learning community.
7.4.1. Demonstrate an understanding of how professional reflection
and learning can be used to improve practice.

I agree that professional reflection and learning are

essential tools for improving practice. Regular
reflection allows educators to critically examine
their teaching methods, identify areas for growth,
and make informed adjustments to enhance student
learning outcomes. By reflecting on past
experiences, gathering feedback from colleagues
and students, and staying updated on current
educational research and best practices, educators
can continually refine their teaching approaches and
adapt to the evolving needs of their students.
Furthermore, embracing a growth mindset and being
open to continuous learning ensures that educators
remain dynamic and effective in their practice.
7.5.1. Demonstrate motivation to realize professional development
goals based on the Philippine Standards for Teachers.

Demonstrating motivation to realize

professional development goals based on the
Philippine Standards for Teachers is essential
for continuous growth and improvement in the
teaching profession. Recognizing the
significance of these standards, I am committed
to actively pursuing opportunities for
professional development to align my practice
with the highest standards of excellence in
teaching. Moreover, my passion for teaching is a
driving force behind my dedication to
professional growth. If it weren't for teaching,
I'm uncertain if I would remain in this
profession, highlighting the profound impact
and importance of education in my life.
