students, and apply theoretical knowledge to real-world teaching scenarios. It is a journey of self-
discovery, where every interaction, every lesson, and every challenge becomes an opportunity

My Teaching Credo
“If you love teaching, you will never get tired of it.”
“Teaching may seem so stressful and tiring. It may require you to invest
your personal time and effort, but teaching will give you happiness and
contentment which money could never buy.”
“The heart of a teacher speaks not only for his job but also for his learner’s
future. We should mold their minds and help them realize their dreams and
admirations.”
“No amount of power nor wealth can be equated with integrity and valor you
have if finished your studies. Education is the only thing they can pass to their
children which they can use for the rest of their lives."

READINGS AND
REFERENCES
Years ago, as a young, eager student, I would have told you that a great teacher was
someone who provided classroom entertainment and gave very little homework. Needless to say,
after many years of K-12 administrative experience and giving hundreds of teacher evaluations,
my perspective has changed. My current position as a professor in higher education gives me the
opportunity to share what I have learned with current and future school leaders, and allows for
some lively discussions among my graduate students in terms of what it means to be a great
teacher.
Teaching is hard work and some teachers never grow to be anything better than
mediocre. They do the bare minimum required and very little more. The great teachers, however,
work tirelessly to create a challenging, nurturing environment for their students. Great teaching
seems to have less to do with our knowledge and skills than with our attitude toward our
students, our subject, and our work. Although this list is certainly not all-inclusive, I have
narrowed down the many characteristics of a great teacher to those I have found to be the most
1. Passion for Teaching: Passion is often considered the driving force behind
effective teaching. Teachers who are passionate about their subject matter and the
success of their students are more likely to engage students and inspire them to
learn. Passionate teachers often go above and beyond to create engaging lessons,
seek out innovative teaching methods, and build strong relationships with
students.

6. High Expectations: Setting high expectations for students is crucial for fostering
potential and challenge them to reach their full capabilities. By setting ambitious
yet attainable goals, teachers motivate students to strive for excellence and take
students engaged and excited about learning. Great teachers are resourceful and
and memorable.
8. Reflective Practice: Reflective practice involves critically examining one's
teaching methods and their impact on student learning. Great teachers regularly
reflect on their teaching practices, seeking feedback from peers and students,
on their experiences, teachers can refine their practice, address challenges, and
about current educational trends, research, and best practices, seeking out

REFLECTIONS ON
THE PHILIPPINE
PROFESSIONAL
STANDARDS FOR
TEACHERS (PPST)
Domain 1 recognizes the importance of teachers’ mastery of content knowledge and its
interconnectedness within and across curriculum areas, coupled with a sound and critical
understanding of the application of theories and principles of teaching and learning. This Domain

skills in the use of communication strategies, teaching strategies, and technologies to promote
REFLECTION:
within subject areas and understand related pedagogies. Teachers need to understand content and
the structure of the discipline; content includes all aspects of a subject: concepts, principles, and
relationships, methods of inquiry, outstanding issues, and questions. Our students look to us as
their main source of information, so it is imperative that the information we convey be accurate.
We need to know which concepts and topics are central and which are peripheral; as effective
teachers, we also need to recognize which relationships are prerequisite to our content area.
Every content area has different pedagogical skills. Effective educators are aware of common
student misconceptions and potential sources of error and can adjust instruction accordingly.
Demonstrating knowledge of content and pedagogy means being flexible and having fluid
connections between content understanding and pedagogical representation; students will learn
well when the teacher knows his/her stuff and can teach in a way which is efficient, effective,
and engaging. “Pedagogical content knowledge plays an important role in the teaching and
approach, relational understanding, and adaptive reasoning of the subject matter.” In this domain,
I have prepared my lesson plans before I commend my demonstration. I secured all the contents
starting from the objectives, subject matter, activities, assessment, down to the assignment. It is
important to put into consideration the contents and the pedagogy on how you are going to
execute and deliver your topic. It is also essential to know the relation of the content in the
curriculum. In experiencing this first domain, I have come to congruency with my topics,
contents and pedagogy to the curriculum and it all jive to each other. I see to it that it all have
interconnectedness. One great reminder from my teacher mentor is that always come to the class
with a mastery of the topic. It will guide you to the success of your teaching.
DOMAIN 2: Learning Environment
Domain 2 highlights the role of teachers to provide learning environments that are safe, secure,
fair, and supportive to promote learner responsibility and achievement. This Domain centers on
learner behavior in a physical and virtual space. It highlights the need for teachers to utilize a
range of resources and provide intellectually challenging and stimulating activities to encourage
constructive classroom interactions geared towards the attainment of high standards of learning.
REFLECTION:
I think that one of the most powerful examples for a student is the one provided by his or her
teacher. When creating the learning environment for my classroom, I will lead my class by
empathy to my students, in keeping with Domain 2a: Creating an Environment of Respect and
Rapport. In turn, I will hold them to the same standard of positive, encouraging conduct and I
will create opportunities for them to build relationships with me and with one another through
whole-class, partner, and group work throughout each instructional day. Students will also have
opportunities to make connections with each other through a regular sharing time at Morning
Meeting and by highlighting one student each week to be our class’s Student of Week, an event
that would provide a chance for the selected student to share more information about him or
As we build our community, we will also build our love of learning, in alignment with Domain
2b: Establishing a Culture for Learning. I chose to a career in education out of choice. I love
teaching because I love learning, and I have come to find through experience that enthusiasm for
learning is contagious. Students who claim not to enjoy learning, particularly those in early
elementary grades, have frequently had previous bad experiences with learning or low self-
esteem when it comes to learning. As I learn more about each of my students while building our
learning community, I will identify students whose negative attitudes about learning prevent
them from working to their full potential. By learning more about these students and their likes
and dislikes, I will identify points of entry to the curriculum for them to enhance their
engagement and, therefore, chance for academic success. We will build on these successes
together, building our classroom culture of a love of learning and community. I will also create a
physical classroom environment that is stimulating and engaging featuring comfortable reading
areas, easy access to a wide variety of books and a variety of resources to stimulate student
questioning and allow them to find the answers to their own questions..
DOMAIN 3: Diversity of Learners
Domain 3 emphasizes the central role of teachers in establishing learning environments that
are responsive to learner diversity. This Domain underscores the importance of teachers’
knowledge and understanding of, as well as respect for, learners’ diverse characteristics and
experiences as inputs to the planning and design of learning opportunities. It encourages the
celebration of diversity in the classrooms and the need for teaching practices that are
differentiated to encourage all learners to be successful citizens in a changing local and global
environment.
REFLECTION:
Students who learn about different cultures during their education feel more comfortable and
safer with these differences later in life. This allows them to interact in a wider range of social
groups and feel more confident in themselves as well as in their interactions with others. It is
impossible to prepare for a career in education and ignore student diversity. Students differ
from one another in a plethora of ways, including, but not limited to, ethnicity, culture, social
class, intelligence, learning style, and home language. Throughout our discussions of student
diversity, it becomes apparent that to have a successful classroom, a teacher must view
diversity as an opportunity and not a hindrance. First and foremost, teachers should be aware
of their actions and make sure that they are in no way promoting prejudice or discrimination in
the classroom. By promoting an environment of equal respect for all children and putting an
immediate stop to prejudice and discrimination, a classroom can transform into a community of
equality. In class, we also highlighted how socio-economic status is perhaps the biggest
recognize the backgrounds from which your students come, and how these factors will affect
students’ learning. These effects are especially prevalent in students from working-class and
lower-class backgrounds. Frequently, students from these backgrounds enter school without
the fundamental skills already obtained by their middle-class peers. These tasks include naming
letters, counting, and cutting with scissors. Parents from these homes are also less likely to be
involved in their child’s schooling. In teaching students from these backgrounds, it becomes
necessary to recognize that they are probably not as advanced as their middle-class peers and
that you may need to teach them fundamentals that are usually learned in the home. Also,
children from these families are likely to have less support at home, so a teacher must provide
added support in the school environment, as well as try to recruit the parents to be more
Domain 4 addresses teachers’ knowledge of and interaction with the national and local curriculum
requirements. This Domain encompasses their ability to translate curriculum content into learning
activities that are relevant to learners and based on the principles of effective teaching and learning. It
expects teachers to apply their professional knowledge to plan and design, individually or in collaboration
with colleagues, well-structured and sequenced lessons. These lesson sequences and associated learning
programs should be contextually relevant, responsive to learners’ needs and incorporate a range of
teaching and learning resources. The Domain expects teachers to communicate learning goals to support
REFLECTION:
My personal and professional reflections of curriculum planning is that the process is both creative and
practical. For me, it was always important to be involved in designing a course that was capable of
transferring into practice. By this I mean, the course planning should not be a ‘pie in the sky’ idea that
will never work. The vital factors to keep in mind is what will be the benefits to those who go on to
successfully complete the course, and what the impact will be for the wider community and society.
Curriculum planning is hard work for every individual involved. If it is a collaborative venture, there are
lots of necessary debates and discussions about what should be in the course/curriculum and why. This
takes time, and the ability to negotiate and compromise on the final draft of the course. Curriculum
planning on your own, is less fraught, because all the ideas and choices about the curriculum are yours!
Although, any planned curricula will, normally, need to go through an approval or validation panel before
the course can be accepted to implement. Presenting the course to a validating panel can be both
exhilarating and soul destroying, depending on how personal you take or react to comments and questions
raised by members of the panel. As a member of the presenting panel, it is necessary to be able to make a
strong case for the curriculum to be approved, and to be armed with ready answers to defend and promote
the ideas embedded in it. The best fun and challenges come when you implement the curriculum and see
how well it pans out. A curriculum is important in an educational system. It helps one plan the education
process or procedure for a given period (a term, session, lesson period etc.). As the saying goes, if you fail
to plan then you plan to fail. Curriculum consists of continuous chain of activities needed to translate
educational goals into concrete activities, materials, and observable change in behavior. A lesson plan for
Domain 5 relates to processes associated with a variety of assessment tools and strategies used
by teachers in monitoring, evaluating, documenting, and reporting learners’ needs, progress and
achievement. This Domain concerns the use of assessment data in a variety of ways to inform
and enhance the teaching and learning process and programs. It concerns teachers providing
learners with the necessary feedback about learning outcomes. This feedback informs the
reporting cycle and enables teachers to select, organize and use sound assessment processes.
REFLECTION:
Planning, Assessing and Reporting is important to ensure that student needs are being met.
Graphic organizers - There are many instructional strategies that are used to teach literacy. One
strategy of interest is the use of graphic organizers. Mnemonics - The Who, What, When, Where,
Why, and how of Mnemonics. The purpose of a reporting system is to communicate the students'
achievement to families, post-secondary institutions, and employers. These systems must, above
all, communicate clear information about the skills a student has mastered or the areas where
they need more support or practice. Parents receive detailed reports of student results. Reporting
is the process used to communicate knowledge gained from assessing student learning. The
parents, support staff and other teachers. An effective program of assessment, evaluation and
reporting is critical if we are to know whether students are learning/have learned; whether
curriculum outcomes have been achieved; whether teaching is/has been effective; whether
curriculum and programs are appropriate/relevant; and how best to address student learning
needs. The quality of assessment, evaluation and reporting practices has a direct relationship to
student performance. Research continually demonstrates that regular and effective assessment,
evaluation, and feedback (reporting) are essential to enhancing student learning. What is
assessed, evaluated, and reported on; how it is assessed and evaluated; and how results are
communicated send clear messages to students, parents/guardians, teachers, and the community
about what is truly valued, what is worth learning/teaching; how it should be learned/taught; and
how well students are expected to perform. The primary purpose of assessment, evaluation and
reporting is to improve student learning. Simply stated, assessment, evaluation and reporting
practices have a dual purpose: on the one hand, they serve as mechanisms to chronicle student
learning; on the other hand, they serve to measure the effectiveness of teaching/learning
activities. To be effective, assessment, evaluation and reporting must be ongoing and an integral
(not separate) part of the teaching/learning process. The program is one continuous cycle

DOMAIN 6: Community Linkages and Professional Engagement
enriching the learning environment, as well as the community’s engagement in the educative
process. This Domain expects teachers to identify and respond to opportunities that link teaching
and learning in the classroom to the experiences, interests and aspirations of the wider school
community and other key stakeholders. It concerns the importance of teachers’ understanding
and fulfilling their obligations in upholding professional ethics, accountability, and transparency
to promote professional and harmonious relationships with learners, parents, schools and the
wider community.
REFLECTION:
Partnerships can serve to strengthen, support, and even transform individual partners, resulting in
improved program quality, more efficient use of resources, and better alignment of goals and
involvement with education. Teachers are expected to recognize and respond to opportunities
that relate classroom teaching and learning to the experiences, interests, and goals of the school

REFLECTION:
Being a teacher is not an easy task as many people could think. To be a teacher does not only
imply to know the subject to be taught, but it also includes being willing to constantly improve

Reflecting and analyzing repeatedly the best way to teach to learn and how to make students to
extend what has been learned. The many hours spend in the classroom will never be enough to
plan lessons, prepare materials, review student’s tasks and exams, as well, all the administrative
requirements one has to cover for whatever institution we work. It has not been easy but
challenging and interesting. Unfortunately, in this present job I have no colleagues, institution
authorities or supervisors, which means anything I do in the classroom hardly ever provides me
any feedback of what I am doing. Except of course for the eventual commentaries, I receive from
my students and the annual performance evaluation. Therefore, I had this urgent necessity of
obtaining some refreshment and reviewing of what I am doing in my classroom. I need to make a
stop to reflect about how effective my teaching is. If the things I am doing are adequate and

Journals
During my first week as a student teacher at Upper Malabog Elementary School, I had a good
idea of what to expect. I'd also like to express how helpful the UMES staff has been to me.
Simultaneously, I kept an open mind about what to expect during this first week, which served
me well. On the first day, we had our orientation with the school principal. As a student teacher,
I believe it is important to know something about the school, its goals, projects, courses
available, and so on. I don't believe it is a "sink or swim" situation, but it is a good idea to contact
the school so that I can interact with other personnel and staffs as soon as possible. This
makes me happy.

and roles of a teacher once employed in the field. Aside from that, I was with my co- ST sir

concerned about the opportunities that are coming my way. Opportunities are significant chances
to improve and do better. As the day progressed on Thursday, I became more at ease in this role.
I'm relieved that even at this early stage, I can reflect on and identify areas for improvement.
This week marked another engaging chapter in my teaching internship journey at Upper
Malabog Elementary School. Our focus for the week was centered around preparing a lesson
plan each day and discuss it, providing opportunity for both me and the students to explore and
understand it thoroughly.The subject of choice became a focal point for our discussions
throughout the week. It was fascinating to witness the students' curiosity ignite as we delved into
various aspects of the topic. Their eagerness to learn and participate made the teaching
One of the highlights of the week was our involvement in a hands-on activity centered on
Paglilimbag, or print making, in our MAPEH class. Witnessing the students' creativity flourish
as they experimented with different printing techniques was incredibly fulfilling. It was a
As Valentine's Day approached, Upper Malabog Elementary School was abuzz with excitement.
The school had organized a special program to celebrate the occasion, and as part of our
internship duties, we were tasked with documenting the event. Capturing the joy and
camaraderie among the students as they participated in various activities was a delightful
experience.
However, what truly warmed my heart during this week was the unexpected gesture from some
several students presented me with flowers and chocolates. Their gesture not only touched my
heart but also reinforced the bond of trust and respect that had developed between us.
excitement and a bit of pressure. As I was assigned to teach Araling Panlipunan, a subject I love
dearly, I initially felt a bit overwhelmed. It was only our third week, and I wasn't entirely sure
However, once I started teaching, my worries began to fade away. The students' attentiveness
and enthusiasm helped boost my confidence, and soon I found myself enjoying the experience
more than worrying about it. It was reassuring to see that my passion for history resonated
with them, and their active participation made the lessons more engaging and enjoyable for
everyone.
Despite the initial pressure, I eventually settled into a rhythm, aided by the support of my
fellow interns and the guidance of the supervising teachers. Together, we worked on preparing
detailed lesson plans every day, which gradually became easier as I gained more experience.
As the week drew to a close, we were assigned a different task: cleaning the school for the
preparation in the MR. MRS. UMES 2024. It was a bit unexpected, but it was a good
opportunity to contribute to the school community outside of the classroom. Working together
with my fellow interns to tidy up the school felt rewarding, knowing that we were helping to
This week, something super cool happened at our school - it was the Mr. and Ms. UMES
2024 coronation night! Sir Carlo, my teaching buddy, and I were asked to capture all the
important moments during the event. It was like being reporters for the day!
Seeing the excitement in the air as the students prepared for the contest was amazing. And when
the winners were announced, it was truly a moment to remember. I couldn't help but beam with
pride when my two grade 5 students, Aristotle and Galileo, were crowned as Mr. and Ms.
UMES. Knowing that I played a part in their journey made me feel incredibly happy and proud.
But it wasn't just my students who shone that night - every grade level had their representatives,
and it was awesome to see them all showcasing their talents. Some even walked away with
Sure, it was a long and tiring night, but it was also one of the best experiences I've had during my
internship. Being a part of such a big event at the school and witnessing the students'
Later in the week, we got to do some gardening in the school's backyard after our lessons. It was
awesome to get outside and do something different with the students. Being a part of all these
activities made me even more excited about teaching and being involved in school stuff.
This week brought on a new challenge as we were assigned to teach two subjects every day. It
was pretty exhausting because after each class, we had to prepare instructional materials for the
next one. On top of that, we had to make sure our lesson plans were ready before the day began
for checking.
Despite the workload, one highlight of the week was the second quarter reward and recognition
event for Grade 5 students, especially Aristotle, who had been doing exceptionally well. It was
heartwarming to see how proud everyone was of their achievements. Our cooperating teacher,
Ma’am Gladiola De Villa, put a lot of effort into preparing for this event, and Sir Carlo did a
After the recognition ceremony, it was my turn to step up as I hosted a meeting for parents to
address any concerns they had and to distribute report cards. It was a bit nerve-wracking, but also
a great opportunity to connect with the parents and discuss their child's progress.
Overall, this week was challenging but rewarding. It taught me the importance of time
management and preparation in teaching, and it was fulfilling to see the students being
recognized for their hard work. I'm grateful for the opportunity to be involved in these events and
This week was filled with moments that really pushed me out of my comfort zone
and taught me a lot about myself as a teacher. The most nerve-wracking
experience was when I was assigned to lead the flag ceremony in front of the
entire school.
Standing in front of so many people made me feel incredibly anxious, and I could feel my knees
shaking. It was like all eyes were on me, and I was the center of attention. But as I went through
the ceremony and finished, a wave of relief swept over me. When my cooperating teacher
congratulated me afterward, it felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. I was so
proud of myself for facing my fears and successfully completing the task.
Another significant moment of the week was when I had to teach Science for the first time. It
was challenging because I wanted to make sure I explained everything clearly and engagingly.
At first, it felt overwhelming, but as I kept trying and learning from my mistakes, I started to
enjoy it more. Seeing the students' faces light up as they understood the concepts was incredibly
In summary, Week 6 was a rollercoaster of nerves and excitement, but it was also a valuable
learning experience. It taught me the importance of stepping out of my comfort zone and facing
challenges head-on. I'm grateful for the opportunities to grow and learn as a teacher, and I'm
excited to see how much more I'll learn in the weeks to come.
Week 7 was an interesting one for me as I took on the responsibility of discussing EPP,
particularly focusing on "Pangangalaga sa Isda" (Caring for Fish). To make the lesson more
engaging, I decided to bring a real aquarium to school so the students could see the concepts in
action. However, this decision brought along some nervousness, especially when it came to
transporting my beta fish. Despite my worries, seeing the students' excitement and enjoyment as
they interacted with the fish made it all worthwhile. Their eagerness to feed and observe the fish
firsthand added a whole new dimension to the lesson, and I was glad I could provide them with
The second subject I had to tackle during the week was Math, a subject I've always struggled
with myself. I'll admit, I wasn't particularly looking forward to it because of my own insecurities
about my math skills. However, I knew that as a teacher, it was my responsibility to overcome
my personal feelings and deliver the lesson effectively. I tried my best to simplify the concepts
and create activities that would help the students understand better. Despite my initial
apprehensions, seeing the students engage with the material and ask questions showed me that
even though I may not be a math whiz, I could still make a difference in their learning journey.
This week was full of new experiences and challenges that helped me grow as a teacher. One of
the highlights was when we were tasked with making a tarpapel for Araw ng Kagitingan (Day of
Valor). It was my first time doing something like this, and I have to admit, I felt nervous at the
beginning because I wasn't sure how to go about it. However, with the guidance of our
cooperating teacher and some trial and error, we eventually got the hang of it. It was a great
feeling to overcome the initial nerves and learn a new skill. The process of creating the tarpapel
was not only educational but also enjoyable, and it showed me the importance of being open to
Another memorable experience of the week was when we distributed feeding to the pupils who
were members of the feeding program in the school. It was heartwarming to be a part of this
initiative and to see the impact it had on the students. Facilitating the feeding program allowed
me to interact with the students outside of the classroom setting and to contribute to their well-
being in a meaningful way. It was a reminder of the importance of holistic education and the role
This week of stepping out of my comfort zone, learning new skills, and making a positive
impact on the school community. These experiences reaffirmed my passion for teaching and
reminded me of the importance of being adaptable and open to new opportunities for growth. I'm
grateful for the chance to be involved in such meaningful experiences and look forward to
During Week 10 of my teaching internship, classes were canceled due to high temperatures. This
unexpected break gave me time to get ready for teaching. I used it to work on important tasks
like making lesson plans, gathering extra teaching materials, and preparing tests. I also organized
the classroom and learned more about teaching through reading. Even though the heat stopped
our classes, it was a helpful pause to get everything ready for when we started teaching again
Week 11 of my teaching internship continued to be impacted by class suspensions, limiting our
regular teaching activities. However, amidst the disruptions, the highlight of the week was our
"Catch Up Friday," which provided a unique opportunity to engage students in an interactive and
Given the limited time available due to class suspensions, we decided to dedicate this day to
enhancing reading and comprehension skills through games and interactive activities. This
approach not only served as a creative way to make up for lost instructional time but also proved
to be incredibly beneficial in reinforcing key concepts and fostering a love for learning among
students.
Throughout the day, students enthusiastically participated in various games tailored to their
reading levels and interests. From word puzzles and story sequencing activities to
comprehension quizzes and group discussions, each game was carefully designed to stimulate
The atmosphere in the classroom was filled with excitement and energy as students eagerly
collaborated with their peers, demonstrating a genuine enthusiasm for learning. Witnessing their
engagement and progress throughout the day was truly rewarding and served as a testament to
From the moment I stepped into your classroom, you welcomed me with open
arms and made me feel like a valued member of the team. Your willingness to
share your knowledge, expertise, and insights has been instrumental in shaping
me .
In closing, I want to express my deepest appreciation for everything you have done
for me. Your guidance has not only shaped my teaching practice but has also left a
lasting impact on my personal and professional growth. Thank you for being an
exceptional mentor, role model, and friend.
